History

Nejapa Fútbol Club

Nejapa Fútbol Clube was formed in July 2002, thanks to collaboration with both the municipal council of Nejapa (without community collaboration) and the University of El Salvador (UES). When the equipment of the UES obtained a licence to play in the Second Division their representatives contacted René Canjura, mayor of Nejapa, to know if the town was interested in acquiring the space in the Third Division. In that month it concluded the process of inscription of the new equipment in the Third Division.

In 2004, Nejapa won promotion to the Second Division thanks to the help of both Colombian player Andrés Medina Aguirre and Manager Douglas Vidal Jiménez (former coach of ADET). In 2005/06 season Nejapa progressed all the way to the final but were then defeated by Nacional 1906.

In 2006, Carlos "El Cacho" Meléndez took the reins at Nejapa and started to sign both upcoming players and experienced ones, such as Mexican forward José Luis Osorio. In the play-off semi final they defeated Municipal Limeño to reach the final, which they played against Juventud Independiente. They won with a winning goal by Osorio and earned promotion to the Primera División de Fútbol de El Salvador for the first time.[2]

Relocation and rename to Alacranes del Norte

edit

In 2010, some of C.D. Chalatenango's former players created a new team and merged it with Nejapa to establish a new club. They decided to move it to the city of Chalatenango and renamed the club to Alacranes del Norte (Scorpions of the North) due to their new city's geographical location.[3] In January 2011 the club folded due to financial reasons.

Stadium

Nejapa Stadium

Under the Nejapa F.C. name, they played most of their home games at the Polideportivo Victoria Gasteiz in Nejapa, with occasions where the team would play in the Estadio Cuscatlán. Since late 2009, the Estadio José Gregorio Martínez in Chalatenango had served as their home stadium.
