History

Founded only in 2007, the club defeated Atlético Infop in the Liga Mayor de Honduras promotion playoff[1] and was promoted to Honduran second division to fill the place of the relegated Deportes Concepción.[2]

The lineup of the team for the promotion match was : Leonardo Sabillón, Carlos Nufio, Hernán Nolasco, Jaime Ortiz, Ever Argueta, Roberto Hernández, Freddy Núñez, Irvin Matute, José Figueroa, German Castillo and Santos Arrivillaga.

Promotion to top tier and merge

In June 2009, Gualala defeated Necaxa over a two-legged final to clinch promotion to the Liga Nacional de Fútbol Profesional de Honduras.[3] They became the second club, after Sula de La Lima to win back-to-back promotions ending up in the top tier.[4]

However, before the start of the tournament they choose to merge[5] with and sell their license to Real Juventud who had recently relegated the same season, and then decided to stay with the name Real Juventud. In January 2010, Gualala president José Rolando Sabillón claimed Juventud still owed his club money for taking over the top level license.[6]

Achievements
Winners (1): 2008–09 A
Winners (1): 2007–08 C
gollark: 5 is just elder-worship, which I do *not* agree with, no murdering is reasonable but narrow in scope, the adultery one doesn't seem very important or fundamental-law-y, stealing is bad I guess, bearing false witness is somewhat bad too I guess, the coveting ones seem unnecessary.
gollark: I like to hope I would be better than to demand obedience/worship/belief on pain of eternal torture.
gollark: Just looking up the ten commandments quickly, fully two fifths of these are just bizarre narcissistic stuff about God.
gollark: Yes, quran also bad.
gollark: Probably some things considered conspiracy theories have been and are true, but it's also easy to make up wild theories about conspiracies and collusion, and people find it fun to do so, so tons of them are wrong.
