History

Chorrillo FC was founded in 1974 to prevent youngsters to become involved in criminal activities,[1] but they only won their first promotion to the top tier in 2001 after beating Pan de Azúcar 2–1. They had earlier tried to win promotion, losing a second division championship final in 1998 after penalties to Municipal de Colón.[2]

They clinched their first league title in the 2011 Apertura championship after beating Plaza Amador 4–1.[3] In May 2014 they won the 2014 Clausura title.[4]
