In 2000 the team was renamed Chepo FC due to expansion and participated in 2003 in Primera A.
In 2006 the team gained promotion from Primera A to the Liga Panameña de Fútbol after beating Pan de Azúcar 2–1.[4] They have not been very successful at the highest level and only reached the semi-finals of the 2008 Apertura season.[5]
