It is one of the several Brazilian teams called Tricolor da Vila (“tricolored of the town”) by its fans, because of its three colors and reside in the district of Vila Capanema.
On December 19, 1989, Paraná Clube was founded by the merger of Esporte Clube Pinheiros (three times winner of the state championship (1967 as Savóia FC Água Verde, 1984, 1987)), and Colorado Esporte Clube (winner of one state championship (1980)). Rubens Minelli was hired as the club’s first manager, and Emerson de Andrade was chosen as the director of football.
The club’s first match was played on February 4, 1990, when Coritiba beat Paraná 1–0 at the Estádio Couto Pereira.
In 1991, two years after the club’s foundation, Paraná won its first state championship. Later, Paraná would win five state championships in a row, from 1993 to 1997.
In 1992, the club won the Campeonato Brasileiro Série B, gaining the right to compete in the following year’s Série A. After 8 years, Paraná Clube won another national championship. In 2000, Paraná beat Associação Desportiva São Caetano to win the Yellow Module of the João Havelange Cup. This cup replaced the Campeonato Brasileiro (all levels), which had been suspended for one year.

In 2003, Paraná Clube and L.A. Sports, which is a sports marketing company, started a partnership to help Paraná Clube keep its youth academy, and sign new players. In 2005, Paraná Clube created an investment fund to replace L.A. Sports, and, because of this, the partnership was not renewed.
