San Salvador Fútbol Club was a professional football club located in San Salvador, El Salvador that participated in Primera División de Fútbol Profesional from 2002 to 2008.

The club played its home games at Estadio Cuscatlán, which is the largest stadium in El Salvador.

History

The club was only founded on 7 January 2002 and bought the licence of ADET to compete in the 2002 Clausura season of the Salvadoran Premier Division. They boasted an impressive squad of Salvadoran internationals, most prominently Salvadoran legend Mágico González, and won the 2003 Clausura league title.

After the Clausura 2008 season, San Salvador finished second last in the league and as a result had to take part in a playoff with Segunda División runner-up Juventud Independiente to stay in the First division. San Salvador lost the home and away playoff 4–2 on aggregate and was relegated. Following this San Salvador continued to have problems, although this time it was due to players complaining that they had not been paid. San Salvador could not afford to pay its players, so it decided to sell its spot in the Segunda División, and paid its players with the money that they got. This effectively killed the club, and it has since ceased operations.
