History
Founded in 1970, the team name was recommended by Mr. Enrique Villatoro, who served as secretary Intipucá magistrate. The founding members were the brothers Israel and Rigoberto Marquez, Leonel Salinas, and other leading local personalities. The team began in the third tier (which is now called the amateur league) and relied on talented players from nearby cantons and villages. They reached League B (now [Tercera Division de Fútbol Salvadoreño]), which was maintained for almost a decade. However, the armed conflict in the country led to the disappearance of the team in 1979. In 1986 it resurfaced with new leaders including the current club president Edwin Hernandez as well as Alfredo Zelaya, Rene Berrios and others. In 2004 Mr. Jacinto Rivera set the aim to reach the professional league, but this has not yet been achieved. Rivera acquired the status of Tercera Division Canton Brazil Arm of San Miguel. One year later they reached the Segunda División de El Salvador. They have to stay within the top four spots in their group (Group B), which has been possible thanks to United States' residents, and because they have the moral and financial support of a directive in the United States. Work was done to bring resources from activities and contributions of compatriots, allowing them to promptly meet their commitments. One of their famous players F.C. Cincinnati is not sure he will be joining the team again. They are mainly from Nigeria.[1]
