In 2001, the club started its football department, and joined the Rio Grande do Sul Football Federation.^[1]

The club was eliminated in the quarterfinals by Marília.^[2]

In 2003, the club won the Campeonato Gaúcho Second Division, and was promoted to the First Division for the following season.^[3] The club again competed in the Campeonato Brasileiro Série C. Ulbra was eliminated in the second stage by another club from the same state, RS.^[4]

In 2004, Ulbra was the Campeonato Gaúcho's runner-up. The club beat Grêmio 3-1 in the semifinals, but was defeated by Internacional in the final.^[5] The club competed again in the Campeonato Brasileiro Série C and was eliminated by Hermann Aichinger in the second stage.^[6]

In 2005, the club entered the national cup competition, the Copa do Brasil, for the first time. Ulbra was eliminated in the first round by Treze.^[7] In 2006 the club competed in the Campeonato Brasileiro Série C, but was eliminated in the second stage of the competition,^[8] and in 2007, the club was eliminated in the third stage of the championship.^[9]
