History
The club was founded in 1921 by two brothers from Rio de Janeiro.[2] One was a supporter of Clube de Regatas do Flamengo, while the other was a supporter of Fluminense.[2] A training match against an amateur club from the municipality of Fazenda Itaquerê was set to decide if the club would be named Flamengo or Fluminense.[2] With a victory, the club would be named Flamengo, while if defeated the club would be named Fluminense.[2] The club beat their opponents 3–0, but adopted the name Oeste Futebol Clube, after the Center-West region of São Paulo state, while Flamengo's colors were chosen.[2]
The club competed in the Campeonato Paulista Série A1 for the first time in 2004, after winning the Série A2 in the previous season.[3] The club returned to the Série A1 in 2009, after being defeated by Santo André in the Série A2 final in 2008.[4] Oeste won the 2012 Série C after beating Icasa in the final.[5] In 2016, they sealed a partnership with Grêmio Osasco Audax, 2016 Campeonato Paulista A1 runners-up, for the 2016 Serie B, which included mixing players from both teams in one squad and playing home games at Audax's stadium in Osasco.[6]
In 2017, Oeste was relocated definitely to the city of Barueri,[7] since the Estádio Municipal dos Amaros wasn't allowed to host Série B matches due to its limitations,[8] and the City Hall of Itápolis, owners of the stadium, couldn't reach an agreement with the club.
On December 26, 2025, the club then called Oeste announced a change of name (to Osasco Sporting), logo, and city, moving from Barueri to Osasco.
