History

Deportivo La Previsora

The club was founded in September 1971, and began playing in La Chorrera District league. At that time, the club was known as Club Deportivo La Previsora. It has been in continuous operation ever since.[1] An early contender in ANAPROF (the first Panamanian professional league), La Previsora reached the finals in each of the league's first two seasons (losing to Plaza Amador and Tauro FC).[2]

Since then, they have been regular contenders for national honors, winning nine titles (most recently in Apertura 2014).

San Francisco F.C.

The club's current name is derived from the patron saint of the La Chorrera District, Francis of Paola (San Francisco de Paula). The club was the best supported club in the LPF in 2011, averaging an attendance of 765 at their matches.[3]
