[edit] History

Club Deportivo Chalatenango was founded in the early 50's under the name of C.D. Alacranes ,at a time where the giants of El Salvador soccer Quequeisque of Santa Tecla, became defunct and were replaced by a new generation of clubs. The football club was formed by Don Jose Gregorio Martinez and a group of chalatecos whose purpose was to create a team that represented Chalatenango, and the north of El Salvador. C.D. Chalatenango acquired the license to particpate and after many years of competition they demonstrated their quality in the inferior divisions by winning 4 championships. However it's economic situation was in a terrible state putting its existence in danger. During that peroid, Colonel Oscar René Serrano accepted the leadership of the club, and with his experience, undertook the task of giving new life to the "Scorpions". The club ascended to the segunda división, changing their name from C.D. Alacranes to Club Deportivo Chalatenango. In 1979, Club Deportivo Chalatenango obtained promotion to the Primera División de Fútbol Profesional and managed to stay there for ten years. In 1990,C.D. Chalatenango were relegated to the segunda división. They stayed in the segunda división battling promotion for 13 years until they won promotion in 2003,but a year later they were relegated again. However they were able to quickly return to the Primera División de Fútbol Profesional by purchasing the spot of Coca-Cola for $250,000 and have remained there ever since.
