History edit
Founded in 2016, the club immediately started in the Venezuelan Segunda División after buying out the license of newly-promoted side Casa D'Italia.[1] In 2018, the club changed colours in an attempt to get closer to the identity of dissolved Unión Atlético Maracaibo.
On 15 November 2021, Titanes won the second division after defeating Atlético La Cruz in the Finals, and achieved a first-ever promotion to the Venezuelan Primera División.[2] On 30 December, the Venezuelan Football Federation announced the results of the club licensing process for the 2022 season, with Titanes being unable to take part in the competition, and having their promotion denied.[3]
For the 2022 season, the club moved to the city of Guanare and was renamed into Titanes Fútbol Club Guanare.
