They won promotion to the Segunda División in 1996 and reached the top flight after 4 more years.[1] They won promotion after beating Municipal Liberia in a championship playoff.[2] It was the same Liberia team that beat Osa in May 2003 to send them down to the Segunda División again.[3]

They spent a total of 3 seasons in the Primera División.[4]
