History

edit

In 1991, Fuerte San Francisco obtained promotion to the Primera División de Fútbol Profesional for the first and so far only time and managed to stay there for three years. The club was relegated from the Primera División de Fútbol de El Salvador after 1992/1993 season.[4] In 2009 they were relegated to the Third Division.[5] However, after winning both the Apertura 2014 and Clausura 2015 title Fuerte San Francisco were promoted to the Segunda Division for 2015–2016 seasons.[6]

The team remained in the second tier until the 2022-23 season, when they secured their first promotion to the Primera Division in 30 years after defeatingTitan in the promotion play-offs. [7]

Rivalries

edit

The team's main historic and geographic rival is C.D. Vista Hermosa. The rivalry stems from the two teams being based in Morazán and regular competing to be promoted to the primera division. However the clubs have not played each other since Vista became defunct for a few years before being reborn in the ADFA Morazán (Fourth tier) of El Salvador.
