Tigres Fútbol Club is a professional Colombian football team based in Bogotá. In 2017, the team will play in the Categoría Primera A after having been promoted. They play their home games at the Luis Carlos Galán Sarmiento stadium in Soacha.
The history of the club began in 1998 when the team played in the Categoría Primera B under the name Univalle, playing the first half in Jamundí and the second in Palmira with Hernan Dario Herrera as coach.
In 1991 the team was renamed Expreso Palmira, due to the support of the carrier of the same name. In that season the coaches were Carlos Burbano and José Martínez, who left the team in tenth place.
In the 2000 season with coach Eduardo Lara, the club played a prominent campaign to reclassification, and placed third, qualifying for the final round for the promotion. There it faced Deportivo Pereira, Unión Magdalena and Deportivo Rionegro, ranking third again.
In 2001 the club was ranked eighth in the table, thus qualifying to the play-offs where they finished last behind Bogotá Chicó, Cúcuta Deportivo and Unión Magdalena.
In 2002, Expreso Palmira was purchased by businessmen who renamed the club Expreso Rojo de Cartagena. The same year the team won the Primera C championship.
In 2003 the club plays its first season in the Primera B, being first to the reclassification but being eliminated in the play-offs. Two years later the club moved to Sincelejo, which only lasted a year, and in 2006 returned to Cartagena. In the 2007 season the team moved to the city of Fusagasugá, Cundinamarca.
