Atlético Acreano is a Brazilian football club based in Rio Branco, Acre state.

The club was founded in 1952, under the name "Beiruth" for syrian-Lebanese traders. Among them are Augusto Hidalgo de Lima, Foch Jardim, Roberto Sanches Mubárac, Lourival Pinho, Pereira de Lima, Goldwasser Pereira Santos, Sílvio Ferrante, Mário D'Avila Maciel, Rufino Farias Vieira, Fernando Andrade Pessoa, among others.

Several other families had important passage and that are part of the club's history, such as Diógenes, Pinho, Ribeiro, Frota and Patriota.

With great values, Atlético Acreano began to dominate the Segundo Distrito. The passion that the blue and white team caused, soon received the slogan "Glória de um povo, orgulho de uma cidade". (The glory of a people, proud of a city).

Atlético rivals are Rio Branco and Juventus.
