Santa Tecla Fútbol Club is a Salvadoran multi-sport club based in Santa Tecla.[7] Although they compete in a number of different sports, Santa Tecla is mostly known for its professional association football team.[8] The club currently plays in the Primera División, the top tier of El Salvador football.[9][10][11] Santa Tecla was founded in 2007, and currently plays its home games at the 10,000 capacity soccer-specific Estadio Las Delicias.[12]

History

Santa Tecla Fútbol Club was formed in 2007 as a means for the "Tecleños" citizens to support a local team. It had been almost 40 years since the demise of former league champions Quequeisque.[13]

They took over the Telecom FC licence and made their debut in professional football in the 2007–08 season.[14] During their first competitive season, the team managed to reach the quarterfinals of the tournament.

Promotion to the Premier Division

Santa Tecla won their first title in 2012, winning the 2012 Apertura second division title by defeating Brasilia 2–1. A week later Santa Tecla defeated Titán (the champion of the 2011 Clausura title) 2–1 with goals by William Maldonado and Roberto González, allowing for Santa Tecla to be promoted to the first division for the first time in club history.[15]

Champions

In 2015, the club had its most successful period in its history under the guidance of Argentinian Osvaldo Escudero. The club were able to win their first championship (the Clausura 2015) in club history. Santa Tecla won on a penalty shootout 3–1 after the match finished 1–1; William Maldonado was the lone goal-scorer for Santa Tecla in the final.[16]

Second championship

Santa Tecla finished in third place in the regular season, advancing to the 2016 Apertura Playoffs, where they met Isidro Metapan in the first round. They drew the first leg 2–2, but Santa Tecla won the second leg at TBD, to win 3–2 on aggregate. Santa Tecla faced the Aguila in the semifinal, winning 4-3 on aggregate to advance to the Primera Division championship game. Santa Tecla faced the Alianza F.C. for the championship. Santa Tecla won 3–2 on a game-winning brace by Sebastian Abreu in the second half, with Gerson Mayen scoring the other goal in the first half,thus winning their second primera division title.

Third championship

Santa Tecla finished in third place in the regular season, advancing to the 2017 Clausura Playoffs, where they met C.D. FAS in the first round. They drew the first leg 0-0, but Santa Tecla won the second leg at Estadio Las Delicias 1-0, to win 1-0 on aggregate. Santa Tecla faced the Aguila in the semifinal, winning 5-2 on aggregate to advance to the Primera Division championship game. Santa Tecla faced the Alianza F.C. for the championship for the second straight tournament. Santa Tecla once again won the title with a comprehensive 4-0 victory, with Marlon Cornejo, Gerson Mayen William Canales and Carlos Bueno.

Stadium

Santa Tecla Fútbol Club has forged its entire history, from 2007 to the present, in the Estadio Las Delicias, but during stadium renovations they played their matches in the Estadio Jorge "Mágico" González.
