History
In September 1992, Pedro Ribeiro Lima founded a club named after his initials PEdro RIbeiro LIMA (Perilima). The club was founded as a factory team in a sorda candy factory owned by him. Six years after, in 1998, the club entered its first professional championship. At the time, the team was formed by the factory workers. 'Seu Pedro' was both coach and player, they finished as runners-up and were promoted to Paraíba State Championship First Division, in which they currently play. During a stage of financial hardship, the club was helped by members of the Orkut social network, who crowdfunded a campaign to alleviate its finances. This campaign effectively acted as a sponsorship deal, and the community's identification number was added to the uniform's shirt sleeves.
