Avaí Futebol Clube Feminino, commonly known as Avaí FC Feminino, is a women's football club based in Caçador, Santa Catarina. The club was formerly known as Avaí/Kindermann due to the partnership with SE Kindermann from 2019 to 2022.
History
On 25 February 2019, the most successful women's team in Santa Catarina, the Sociedade Esportiva Kindermann, started a partnership with Avaí, therefore between 2019 and 2021 the team was called Avaí/Kindermann (or Kindermann/Avaí).[1] The partnership was successful and the team was third place in the 2019 Campeonato Feminino Série A1 and runners-up in 2020. Kindermann/Avaí qualified for the 2020 and 2021 Copa Libertadores Femenina being eliminated in the group stage and the quarter-finals, respectively.
As the SE Kindermann president Salézio Kindermann died from the COVID-19, on 15 May 2021,[2] the Kindermann family took control of the team until the participation in the 2021 Libertadores Femenina, in 18 November 2021. After the 2021 Copa Libertadores the team was disbanded[3] but in January 2022, Avaí assured the continuity of the team and its participation in the 2022 Série A1.[4]
On 8 February 2022, the club was renamed to Avaí Futebol Clube Feminino,[5] but CBF and FCF rolled back the decision due to Sociedade Esportiva Kindermann were the owner of the berths in the local and national tournaments and the team was called Avaí/Kindermann in the 2022 season.[6] Avaí officially took control of Sociedade Esportiva Kindermann in 19 June 2023. Although the team was initially supposed to leave Caçador and move to Florianópolis for the 2023 season, they decided to stay in Caçador.[7]
