In pursuit of the Copa Paulista title against XV de Piracicaba, Primavera was founded on January 27, 1927, in Indaiatuba. The institution emerged from the merger of Indaiatubano F.C. and Corinthians F.C., according to data released by the official website of the Paulista Football Federation (FPF).
The club earned the nickname Fantasma da Ituana in 1944 and competed in amateur competitions until the 1950s, when it began participating in professional tournaments — debuting in the Second Division in 1952 and participating in the Third Division in 1954 and 1958.
From 1927 to 1961, it hosted games at the Rua XV field, until the inauguration of the Gigante da Vila Industrial stadium, now called Ítalo Mário Limongi. The return to professionalism happened in 1976, crowned the following year with the Second Division title of 1977.
In total, Primavera has four professional titles: 1977 (Second Division), 1995 (Series B1-B), 2001 (Series B2), and 2018 (Second Division).
It also achieved four promotions: in 2003 and 2014 from the Second Division to Series A3, in 2021 from Series A3 to A2, in 2025 from A2 to A1.
On August 11, 2022, Primavera took an important step in its history by transforming into Primavera SAF, in a unanimous decision by the General Assembly.
