In 1998, the club was founded again as Juazeiro Empreendimentos to avoid paying a labor debt for a former club's player.[9] After the debt was paid with the help of the club's supporters, on January 7, 2002,[10] Juazeiro was refounded as Associação Desportiva Recreativa Cultural Icasa.[9] In 2003, the club won the Campeonato Cearense Second Level.[11] Icasa competed again in the Série C in 2005, where they were eliminated in the second stage,[12] in 2006, again Icasa was eliminated in the second stage,[13] in 2007, the club was eliminated in the first stage.[14] Icasa competed in the 2008 Série C, where they were eliminated in the second stage,[15] but as one of the four best clubs eliminated in that stage, Icasa qualified to compete in the following season's Série C.
