In 2005, the club was renamed to J. Malucelli Futebol.^[3]

In 2007, the club won the Copa Paraná, after beating Londrina in the final, at Eco-Estádio Janguito Malucelli, and thus qualifying to that year's Recopa Sul-Brasileira, and also qualifying to the following year's Copa do Brasil and Campeonato Brasileiro Série C.^[4] The club was eliminated by Caxias in the 2007 Recopa Sul-Brasileira semifinals.^[5]

Corinthians Paranaense
