History
editEl Vencedor won the Apertura 2018 title, after they defeated Platense 4–1 in penalties after tying in a two-legged series.[1]
This was title was followed with the most glorious event in the club history, as El Vencedor were able to once again defeat San Pablo Tachico (who were the Clausura 2019 Champion) in a promotion playoff 6–5 after penalties, after tying 0–0. Which enabled the club to play in the primera division (the top division in El Salvador) for the first time ever in the club history. [2][3]
El Vencedor ownership had reportedly experienced thousands dollars in operating losses since El Vencedor joined the Primera division. The club president Marlon Claros stated that due to a lack of corporate support for the team and the municipality withdrew it support. Following the closure of the shortened 2020 Clausura season due to CO-VID 19 virus pandemic, The club eventually seceded their spot to Atletico Marte .[1]
