About

Atlético Clube Goianiense, from Goiânia, play in the Campeonato Brasileiro Série A and were founded on 1 January 1937, a history that makes the club central to Goiás football; Walkouts presents signed shirts, framed pieces and verified fan-store releases for collectors who value provenance and story.

The club is the oldest in Goiânia and the first from Goiás to win a national competition, taking the Série C title before returning to the top flight after a long absence; a landmark moment came when Atlético Goianiense were crowned Campeonato Brasileiro Série B champions 2016, cementing their national profile and promotion to Série A.

Locally the club’s fixtures include the Clássico do Cerrado and the city rivalry known as the Derby de Goiânia against Vila Nova, fixtures that shape kit demand and derby provenance for shirts worn or signed at those matches, with Copa Sudamericana nights also adding continental interest.

There are no widely documented post-1970 anniversary shirt releases for Atlético Goianiense on public record, so collectors tend to focus on pivotal seasons and limited retail runs rather than commemorative centenary or jubilee editions.

Key seasons act as strong magnets for collectors: the 2008 Série C title that began their national rise, the promotion-winning 2016 campaign that returned the club to the top flight, and the continental run that saw notable away nights in the Copa Sudamericana. The club’s modern story, including the Copa Sudamericana semi-finalists 2022 run, means shirts from these campaigns are chased for match provenance, player signatures and the narrative they carry.

Iconic shirts include the white away sets used on decisive continental nights, a clean colourway later sought after by collectors for both wear evidence and photographic linkage to away wins; the white away shirt 2022 Copa Sudamericana is a clear example, tied to televised fixtures and documented squad lists. Fanshop and retail pieces remain important, as signed fanshop shirts, limited initial runs, player-issue variants and region-specific editions surface in markets and private sales.

For provenance, collectors prize paperwork and visible proof, and many pieces arrive with a COA when sold through trusted channels; demand is equally strong for signed retail shirts and early production runs. Free worldwide shipping is offered on select items and Walkouts lists both framed and unsigned retail editions alongside verified signed shirts from seasons such as 2008 and 2016 to help buyers match provenance to moment.
