History

The club was founded in 2002, making them one of the youngest teams in Uruguay. In their first ever season, they placed 9th in the final league table.

In 2007, after an excellent campaign in the Uruguayan Segunda División, the club was promoted for the first time to the Primera División where they played for two consecutive seasons.

In 2011, although they had finished 6th, they qualified for the promotion playoffs and were promoted after beating Atenas and Boston River. They were relegated in the 2013-14 season. They lost the Segunda Division promotion play off in 2016 and 2017.

In 2018, after battling for three consecutive years, they won the Segunda Division and were promoted back to the Primera Division. In 2019, they finished 3rd in the league and qualified for the 2020 Copa Libertadores for their first time ever.
