They are the fourth most successful club in Amapá (alongside Trem and Santana) in terms of league trophies won, with seven Amapazão titles.[2] Santos has also won the Amapaense Second Division once, in 2007.[3] The club reached the Amapaense finals in seven consecutive seasons between 2013 and 2019, taking the title six times during that period.
Santos is the top-ranked team from Amapá in CBF's national club ranking, being placed 100th overall.[4]
In Amapá, precisely in 1973, Otávio Nogueira and Delson Furtado, mobilized a group of friends to found the Santos Futebol Clube in Macapá. The historic meeting took place exactly on 11 May 1973.[citation needed]
Like other clubs in the state, Santos does not have its own stadium. Since 2017, all football matches in Amapá are held at Zerão. Up until 2014, the team also played at Glicerão, which is currently undergoing renovation.[5]
