Home stadium is the Ary de Oliveira e Souza stadium, capacity 15,000. They play in blue shirts, white shorts and blue and white striped socks.
The club was founded on August 20, 1912, after a misunderstanding of a group of boys from Natação e Regatas Campista club. They felt depreciated because a request to use a boat to travel at Paraíba River was denied by the club. They then abandoned the practice of rowing and founded a football club at Otto Nogueira's house.
Goytacaz plays its home matches at Ary de Oliveira e Souza stadium, usually known as Arizão, which has a maximum capacity of 15,000 people.
The club's mascot is a Native American of the Goytacazes tribe, first inhabitants of the city, which are also the source of the club's name.
Goytacaz greatest rival is Americano. The derby is known as Goyta-cano.
