Esporte Clube Primavera, commonly referred to as Primavera, is a Brazilian professional association football club based in Indaiatuba, São Paulo. The team competes in the Campeonato Paulista Série A1, the first tier of the São Paulo state football league.

In 2022, the former player Deco, together with businessman Nenê Zini, acquired 90% of Esporte Clube Primavera's SAF (Sociedade Anônima do Futebol). The two had already invested in the team since 2020 through the management group formed by their respective companies (BN Zini and D20 Sports).

In 2025, Primavera achieved its greatest campaign in history and achieved unprecedented promotion to the Paulistão. The promotion match took place in Indaiatuba on March 29th, with Primavera winning 2-1 (4-1 on aggregate) against Taubaté.

History

Club crest used until 2023

The club was founded on 27 January 1927,[2] after the merger of local clubs Indaiatubano Futebol Clube and Primavera Futebol Clube. Primavera won the Campeonato Paulista Segunda Divisão in 1977, and the Campeonato Paulista Série B2 in 2001. The club joined a partnership with Spanish club Racing de Santander in 2007, and was renamed to Real Racing Primavera.[3] After the partnership ended, the club was renamed back to Esporte Clube Primavera.
