Atlético F.C. is a professional Colombian football team based in Cali, that currently plays in the Categoría Primera B. They play their home games at the Olímpico Pascual Guerrero stadium.

History

The club was founded as Dépor FC in 2005 in Cartago, Valle del Cauca. For the following year, the club moved to Jamundí, in the same department. During the 2006 and 2008 seasons its home was the Estadio Cacique Jamundí. Its greatest achievement was qualifying for the semifinals for the first and only time in 2008 under the leadership of coach Julio Valdivieso.

Due to financial difficulties and the support from Cali's public utilities company Emcali, the club was renamed in 2009 and moved from Jamundí to the Aguablanca District in the city of Cali, now playing their home games at the Estadio Pascual Guerrero.

In 2016, following a controversy regarding its membership in the professional football league, the club was renamed as Atlético Fútbol Club. Due to this, the club was not able to play its first seven matches, which were going to be awarded as losses by walkover, however they were eventually confirmed to be played after the club was renamed and accepted into the league.^[2]
