Grêmio Barueri Futebol Ltda., generally known as Grêmio Barueri, or just as Barueri, is a Brazilian football club from Barueri, São Paulo state. The club was formerly known as Grêmio Recreativo Barueri and Grêmio Prudente Futebol Ltda.
The club was founded in 1989, in the city of Barueri, on the north-western outskirts of metropolitan São Paulo. The club and the city of Barueri failed to reach an agreement about training facilities and the concession of the Arena, causing the club to move to Presidente Prudente in the countryside, about 600 km from the state capital. The move was formalized by the end of February 2010, and it was announced that a change of insignia and kit would follow within the next weeks. The club moved back to Barueri in 2011.
The club's home stadium is the Arena Barueri, which has a maximum capacity of about 31,452 spectators.
The club was founded on March 26, 1989 as Grêmio Recreativo Barueri to represent Barueri in several different sports.
Barueri had a sponsorship from Bandeirantes Bank from September, 1997 to June 1998. The club changed sponsors to Mackenzie/Microcamp from August 1998 to May 1999. In 1998 Barueri won the São Paulo State Men's Basketball Championship. Some time later, the club signed a partnership with Vasco da Gama, of Rio de Janeiro.
Barueri signed a sponsorship with Roma Incorporadora in 2000. During this period, the club, which was named Roma Barueri at the time, won the Campeonato Paulista Under-20 in 2000, and the Copa São Paulo de Juniores in 2001, beating São Paulo in the final.
The club professionalized its football team in 2001, and competed the Campeonato Paulista Série B3, finishing in the 14th position.
