History


Present history

The owners decided to change name and remodel to Metapán FC and through a partnership with Isidro Menéndez were reformed to Asociación Deportiva Isidro Metapán .

The club returned to the Primera División in 2001, after defeating Jocoro FC 3–2 in the final promotion.

Since being promoted they have achieved great consistency, playing in seven finals, winning six and only losing one. In their first ever final for the Apertura 2005, they lost to Vista Hermosa 2–0. AD Isidro Metapán's greatest moment in their history came in the Clausura 2007 when they defeated Luis Ángel Firpo 1–0 in extra time to win their first title. Isidro Metapán qualified to their first CONCACAF Champions League in the 2008–09 edition. They however did not manage to get past the Preliminary Round and exited early from the competition. AD Isidro Metapán achieved its second title in the Apertura 2008 when they won a penalty shootout against Chalatenango 4–3 after a three all draw. On 24 May 2009, they won their third title in history against Luis Ángel Firpo in a 1–0 win with a goal from Alexander Amaya in the 58th minute. That one goal would be enough to give the club the victory as well as the title. With that title, Metapán crowned themselves champions for a second consecutive time, winning the previous tournament as well. The club qualified to the 2009–10 CONCACAF Champions League, making their second appearance in this competition. Unfortunately, the club showed a poor performance, and were eliminated in the group stage. On 23 May 2010, they won their fourth title in history against Águila in a 3–2 win with goals from Léster Blanco and Paolo Suárez. That title made history for the club, enabling them to win the league at least once from 2007–10. Paolo Suárez is the best striker in the long history of the club.

On 19 December 2010, Metapán went on to win their fifth title in the club history thanks to a penalty shootout victory over Alianza 4–3 after both side couldn't score in both normal and extra time.

The club went on to have their most successful season reaching the quarter-final of the CONCACAF Champions League with impressive victory over Mexican team Santos Laguna (2–0) and UNAM Pumas (2–1), Honduran team Real España (2–1) and (3–2), and Puerto Rican team Puerto Rico Islanders (2–0).

On 8 December 2011 Metapán went on to win their sixth title in the club history after a 1–0 victory over Once Municipal the lone goal coming from Paolo Suárez in the 51st minute.[13]
