History

Club Atlético Independiente was founded on October 12, 1960 by Luis Méndez and Julio Zepeda. The club originally played in Liga de Fútbol “Amado Sánchez”, an independent league in Siguatepeque, until 1979, when the club was promoted to Segunda Division (now called Liga de Ascenso).

Since 1979, Atlético Independiente has been one of the most known and respected clubs in Liga de Ascenso. The club has come close to being promoted to Liga Nacional de Honduras in many occasions, the closest being in 1990, where it lost a playoff game for the final to Tela Timsa. Until 2017, they were the only team to play in every Liga de Ascenso season. They were relegated to Honduran Liga Mayor in June 2017 as they didn't show up at the last game for the No relegation match against Estrella Roja, thus losing the category automatically.[1]

gollark: I don't remember this happening. But I PRed in anonymization a while back.
gollark: Well, if they don't move it's fine, but the IDs were removed some time back.
gollark: If you want to do something actually usefulish, "FORTRESS", you can trilaterate GPS pings and find anyone who sends them (but not actually uniquely identify them since a few versions back).
gollark: If you have a hidden piston door or something and wireless control I guess it makes sense?
