Santa Tecla Fútbol Club is a Salvadoran multi-sport club based in Santa Tecla.
Although they compete in a number of different sports, Santa Tecla is mostly known for its professional association football team.
The club currently play in the Primera División, the top tier of the El Salvador football.
Santa Tecla was founded in 2007, and currently plays its home games at the 10,000 capacity soccer-specific Estadio Las Delicias.
Santa Tecla Fútbol Club was formed in 2007 as a means for the "Tecleños" citizens to support a local team. It had been almost 40 years since the demise of former league champions Quequeisque.
They took over the Telecom FC licence and made their debut in professional football in the 2007–08 season. During their first competitive season, the team managed to reach the quarter finals of the tournament.
Santa Tecla won their first title in 2012 winning the 2012 Apertura second division title by defeating Brasilia 2–1. A week later Santa Tecla defeated Titán (the champion of the 2011 Clausura title) 2–1 with goals by William Maldonado and Roberto González allowing for Santa Tecla to be promoted to the first division for the first time in club history.
In 2015, the club had its most successful period in its history under the guidance of Argentinian Osvaldo Escudero. The club were able to win their first championship (the Clausura 2015) in club history. Santa Tecla won on a penalty shootout 3–1 after the match finished 1–1; William Maldonado was the lone goal-scorer for Santa Tecla in the final.[1]
