The team was the first top level team in Antioquia in four years, after some teams had left the Colombian League.[3] The first head coach was Bernardo González, and the club also started a youth academy, including an under-14 team. The following year, in November 2024, Paisas was announced as one of the twelve teams in the 2024–25 BCL Americas season, the top-level continental league.[4]
