History
The club was founded on 13 December 1924 in Paredes. The club was formed through the merger of several local clubs, including Aliança, Comércio, and Paredes, under the leadership of Father Marcelino da Conceição Evaristo Leal and Delfim Soares da Costa.
The club won its first title in 1926, claiming the Paredes–Valongo county championship. In 1941, Paredes won the AF Porto Third Division championship and earned promotion to the district second division.
Paredes later won the AF Porto Second Division title in 1958, securing promotion to the top district level. In 1974, the club achieved promotion to the national leagues for the first time after winning the AF Porto First Division championship.
The club made its debut in the Taça de Portugal during the 1974–75 season. In subsequent years, Paredes recorded several notable cup runs, including reaching the round of 16 in 1975–76 and the quarter-finals in 1983–84 and 2005–06.
During the 1983–84 Taça de Portugal campaign, Paredes reached the quarter-finals despite competing in the third division. The run ended with a defeat to Benfica.
In the 1999–2000 season, Paredes won its series in the Portuguese Third Division and later secured the national championship title after defeating Seixal in a penalty shoot-out.
