History

Independiente had their most successful seasons in the 1980 and 1982 campaign, where they reached the final of the Primera division thanks to the support of the players such as Óscar “Lotario” Guerrero, Mandingo Rivas, Ramon Maradiaga, and varios others players but however they were defeated both time by Atletico Marte.


Independiente Nacinal 1906

The owners of Coca Cola football decided to change name to Nacional 1906 and through a partnership with Independiente San Vicente were reformed to Independiente Nacional 1906 . Independiente Nacional won promotion in 2006 to Salvadoran Premier League, however due to poor results the team was relegated from the primera division after just one season.[1] They then failed to register for the new season in summer 2007 for failing to meet their financial obligations and were kept on hiatus for five years.[2]

Modern History
