About

Clube Atlético Mineiro, commonly known as Atlético Mineiro or Vingadoras, is a Brazilian women's Association football club, based in the city of Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais. They won the Campeonato Mineiro de Futebol Feminino seven times. Initially created in 1983 as an amateur women's side of Clube Atlético Mineiro to play in an experimental inaugural season of the Campeonato Mineiro de Futebol Feminino, the women's section of the club was officially created in 2005, the year which the Mineiro Feminino officially started. Atlético's women's team was dissolved in 2012, due to lack of funding. On 19 December 2018, the club announced the return of the women's section, after CONMEBOL obliged all men's teams to have a senior women's team playing in a competition.
