this initiative would bring quick results, earning the unidos a championship in the access division in 1980.

from that point on this vintage samba school would be a constant presence in the special division, barring some mishaps which would ironically allow it to gain another two championships in the access division - and more recently it won the special in 2010 and 2012.

the samba school's detailed history, facts, updates, and championships history are published on unidos da tijuca official webpage, along with contact information, and pictures.
