In 2004, Santo André won their first national title when they defeated Flamengo
in the Copa do Brasil
final, gaining the right to compete in the following year's Copa Libertadores de América. Their first season in Série B was over before it started as the team was deducted 12 points for playing an eligible player. This meant at the time of the Copa do Brasil success they were on minus points. The team recovered to comfortably avoid relegation.

in the Série B
and thus earned promotion to Série A. After a hard fought campaign Santo André were relegated back to Série B on the last day of the season.
The 2010 Paulista State Championship
proved to be a highly successful campaign. The team finished second in the table behind Santos after a mid season seven match winning streak put them in a commanding position. In the playoffs Santo André overcame Grêmio Prudente, before facing the all conquering Santos
team who had scored nearly 100 goals already in all competitions. The first game ended in a 3-2 victory for Santos despite Santo André having a man sent off. The second match on May 2, 2010 proved to be an epic encounter as Santo André leveled the tie in the first minute, before being pegged back. A thrilling game finally ended 3-2 to Santo André (5-5 on aggregate) and saw three red cards given to Santos, and one to Santo André. Despite hitting the post twice, Santo André could not break down a professional Santos rear guard action. Santos thus won the title due to their superior overall record.
Santo André slipped into free fall and were relegated to Série C in 2010
and almost relegated to the Série D in 2011
