The club was founded in 1927. América is widely recognized as one of the most notable and traditional clubs in Colombian soccer history, being the club to have won the second largest number of [[Fútbol Profesional Colombiano]] titles (The Colombian First Division). It is considered to be one of the South American soccer powerhouses, because of its international appearances and its worldwide famous players. America is also known as "La Mechita," literally meaning in English "The Fuse" like that of bottle-rocket firework; when the team plays well the fans say "se prendio la mechita", which means "the fuse has ignited". America is recognized as having produced Colombia's top players and they are constantly being exported to leagues across the world. Most of the famous Colombian players that now triumph across the world of soccer and the Colombian national team, were made famous while playing for this institution. However, the past few years have shown a deterioration of the talent that once ranked it among the world's best. ==History== ===The beginning=== The team's roots trace all the way back to 1918, when some students from Colegio Santa Librada formed their own team, called "America F.C.", to compete with other schools. The team won the [[Copa Centenario Batalla de Boyacá]] in 1919. The team's uniform was light blue with white vertical stripes, light blue shorts, and socks with horizontal stripes in white and light blue.<ref>[http://www.rsssf.com/tablesc/colfound.html Colombia - Foundation Dates of Clubs<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref><ref>http://carlos5845.tripod.com/id7.html</ref><ref>[http://www.arcotriunfal.com/1983/el_equipo_america_los_diablos_rojos_cumple_80_anos_de_vida.html arcotriunfal.com | Un Portal a la Historia del Deporte<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref> América de Cali was founded on [[February 13]] [[1927]] in some of the poorest neighborhoods of [[Santiago de Cali|Cali]], then an economically emerging city in [[Colombia]]. After being expelled inexplicably from the regional tournament, América decides to tour the country in order to continue playing the sport, thus becoming the first Colombian team to play around the country. On [[February 16]] [[1948]], América officially becomes the first professional Colombian soccer team, and had a large part in creating the first Colombian professional soccer tournament that took place that year. ===The curse of "Garabato"=== Benjamin Urrea, better known as "Garabato", was a dentist and one of the most faithful fans of "la mechita".<ref>[http://www.copamustang.com/scripts/verNoticia.php?tip=1&noti=11816 ::: Copa Mustang · :::<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref> However, he was very strongly opposed to the professionalization of the club and when he learned of this process being carried out by Humberto Salcedo Fernández, he placed a curse on the institution. He is quoted as saying "que lo vuelvan professional, que hagan con el equipo lo que quieran... que, por mi Dios, America nunca sera campeón", which means that if the team is profesionalized, I swear to God that it will never be champion. Although it is said that this curse was broken in [[1979]] when the team obtained its first national title, there are many people who believe the curse still holds true in the [[Copa Libertadores]] since America has reached 4 finals and never been able to win the cup.<ref>[http://copamustang.com/scripts/historia.php?sec=842 :: Copa Mustang ::<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref> The popular "Garabato" passed away on January 5, 2008 in [[Santiago de Cali|Cali]].<ref>[http://elpais.com.co/paisonline/deportes2003/notas/Enero072008/garabato.html El Pais - Cali Colombia deportes Adiós a Adiós a "Garabato"<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref> ===The first championships=== [[Image:Copas mustang.jpg|thumb|right|300px|Some of America's cups]] América got off to a slow start in the Colombian tournament, not achieving even the [[runner-up]] position until [[1960]] and not playing its first [[Copa Libertadores]] until 1969. However, the team went through a radical change in [[1979]], hiring [[Gabriel Ochoa Uribe]] as its Coach. During the 12 years Gabriel Ochoa Uribe worked as coach of the team, América obtained its first seven National Cup's and rapidly created an immense diversity of fans that cheered it around the country. During these years, América finished second place in the [[Copa Libertadores]] consecutively from 1985-1987. '''1979 "Aquel 19" The First Star'''<br /> Every achievement America de Cali had made throughout its history would be surpassed on December 19, 1979, better known as "Aquel 19" like the popular song by Alberto Beltran. Among these achievements were the 5-0 victory over [[Deportivo Cali]], the undefeated season of [[1967]], the Second Place finish in [[1960]] and [[1969]], and their impressive journey in the [[1970]] [[Copa Libertadores]]. On "Aquel 19" ("That 19"), the entire city of [[Santiago de Cali|Cali]] celebrated the team's first national title. [[Gabriel Ochoa Uribe]] said, "We are going to be champions. We deserve it. The popular neighborhoods of Cali deserve it. This night we will write history." That night, America de Cali overcame a difficult adversary [[Union Magdalena]], in order to be recognized as the [[1979]] Colombian Soccer Champion. This unforgettable night, the entire city was painted red with the fans who celebrated until the next day. '''1982 A Title in the Cold'''<br /> After just three years of winning their first title, America de Cali was heading towards their second one. It was a cold and grey morning that day in [[Bogotá]], where the team faced [[Millonarios]]. With noise and an old bus, America de Cali arrived to the stadium [[Estadio El Campín|Nemesio Camacho (''El Campín'')]]. Caleños that lived in the city came to support the team as well as many fans arriving from [[Cali]]. [[Millonarios]] came out with their full attack, but America de Cali played with tranquility and soon enough the first goal came As they kept a close watch on the other games being played that day, America de Cali withstood the constant attack of [[Millonarios]]. Time took an important role and as it ran down, it only benefited America de Cali. [[Deportes Tolima]] had won their match, [[Deportivo Pereira|Pereira]] were tying their match, and [[Atlético Nacional|Nacional]] had scored their second goal. Everything was going their way and the only thing left to do was win the game against [[Millonarios]]. The final minutes were very tense, but once the referee blew the whistle, the fans were able to chant once more, "America Campeon". '''1983 Third Star '''<br /> America de Cali began the season with some changes to create a stronger team for the [[Copa Libertadores]]. It included the arrivals of [[Daniel Teglia]], [[Claudio Casares]], [[Willington Ortiz]], [[Rafael "Vallenato" Agudelo]], [[Henry Alape]], [[Jorge Porras]], and [[Luis Antonio Marcollata]]. They also brought reinforcement with Brazilians [[Ademir Praticio]] and [[Coccota]]. With a good participation in the [[Copa Libertadores]] America de Cali were eliminated in the semifinal round. Gabriel Ochoa Uribe used his experience to prevent the players from losing their head, in order to accomplish one of the two titles. [[Willington Ortiz]] and [[Juan Manuel Battaglia]] shone for the team and the dynamic duo combined, scored 40 goals that season. Once the second round began only one team was considered favorite, America de Cali. With the spirit and hard work, America de Cali were back to back champions. '''1984 "Champions for a While" '''<br /> With the same tactics and strength, America de Cali went for their fourth star. With minor changes in the team, it looked to head for their third consecutive title. Under the management of Gabriel Ochoa Uribe, it seemed that the next star would once again be red. Ochoa, showing the country that he was one of the best coaches at the time, proved it by leading the team to various accomplishments. With the fourth star in his pocket, Ochoa showed that America de Cali was here to stay for good. '''1985 Fifth Star; Champions once Again'''<br /> With a great team and head coach, the "Red Devil" fans felt the star at hand. Everyone remembering their first star just 6 years before. These last few years had been great for the team and its history. With a quick season, America de Cali was awaiting once again the last match to become champions once again. They faced an [[Atlético Junior|Junior]] team, who did not want to get humiliated in their last game. America de Cali came out with everything, putting in two creative midfielders, [[Roberto Cabañas]] and [[Alex Escobar]]. With a quick goal it seemed to be an easy game for the Devils, but [[Atlético Junior|Junior]] pulled together and played it safe, to at least leave with a decent result. America de Cali continued to attack, but the opponent's defense stood well and did not let anything else happen. With a few plays dangerous plays from both sides, in the end, America won with a minimum difference 1-0, obtaining the fifth star for the "Red Devils". '''1986 Five consecutive titles'''<br /> The "Red Devils" made history this year by obtaining five national titles in a row; the highest number of consecutive titles previously was four, by [[Millonarios]]. The star was won against their rivals [[Deportivo Cali]], which made the achievement even more special for both the fans and the players. '''The Libertadores finals''' *[[1985]] America reached its first [[Copa Libertadores]] final against [[Argentinos Juniors]]. In a tie breaker match in [[Asuncion]], America was defeated in penalty kicks. The final shot was originally assigned to the goalie [[Julio Cesar Falcioni]], but he backed out last minute and the responsibility was given to [[Antony de Avila]], who failed to score and as a result America lost the final. *[[1986]] This year, America reached the final of [[Copa Libertadores]] for the second time in a row. This time the opponent was [[River Plate]], but once again America would fall short of their objective. [[River Plate]] was superior to America that year and won both matches with goals by "El Bufalo" Funes. *[[1987]] For the third time in a row, America was able to reach the final and again without success. The rival this year was [[Peñarol]]; the first match in [[Santiago de Cali|Cali]] was won by America 2-0 and the second match in [[Montevideo]] was won by [[Peñarol]] 2-1, which brought on a third match to break the tie. During the third match in Santiago de Chile, America played a defensive game and were the champions until the final 10 seconds of the match, but then [[Diego Aguirre]] scored a goal for [[Peñarol]] and took the title literally in the final moment. This was devastating for America because it was the third Libertadores final lost back to back. **It is also important to note that seconds before the goal, the referee Hernan Silva, omitted a clear foul committed against Victor Luna. Another curios fact is that had the present tournament rules been applied, America would be the winner and with more reason if the "visitor's goal" rule is used. The next year in [[1988]], the rules were changed and a third "tie breaker match" was no longer played. ===1990s=== [[Image:Segundo mejor del mundo America de Cali.jpg|thumb|right|200px|America de Cali, ranked 2nd in the world]] The [[1989]] tournament was suspended due to the assassination of the referee, Álvaro Ortega. The following year in [[1990]], America de Cali was once again champion and the following year marked the departure of Gabriel Ochoa Uribe. With his departure, many feared that the winning streak for the "Red Devils" was over. Despite this belief, in 1992, with [[Francisco Maturana]] as head coach and Diego Edison Umaña as assistant, América obtained its eighth star and appeared to continue its winning streak from the prior decade. Five years later, America de Cali was able to taste another championship; this was the longest tournament in the history of Colombian Professional Soccer, lasting a year and a half. During this year, America held the first position during the entire tournament and they were crowned champions of the [[1996]]-[[1997]] season after the final match against [[Atletico Bucaramanga]]. [[Image:Copa merconorte.jpg|thumb|left|190px|[[Copa Merconorte 1999]]]] Also in [[1996]], America was recognized by the IFFHS official world club ranking as the second best team in the world, preceded by [[Juventus]] of [[Italy]]. In [[1999]], America disputed the national title with [[Atletico Nacional]], in the end losing by way of penalty kicks. After playing two finals in less than three days, America finished the year off with excellent achievements: runner-up of Copa Mustang and winner of the [[1999]] edition of [[Copa Merconorte]], the team's first international title, against [[Independiente Santa Fe|Santa Fe]]. '''The fourth Libertadores final "Garabato strikes again"''' *[[1996]] America de Cali once again reached the final of the [[Copa Libertadores]], again with [[Club Atlético River Plate|River Plate]]. America won the first game in [[Santiago de Cali|Cali]] 1-0 with an excellent goal by [[Antony de Avila]] from a very closed angle. This was America's chance for revenge after the loss in the [[1986]] final against the same rival, but in the end America lost famously on an [[Oscar Córdoba]] error. The first goal was scored by [[Hernan Crespo]] and in an incredible play by [[Oscar Córdoba]], where he left the box and did not clear the ball correctly, [[Hernan Crespo]] scored the second goal. ===The new millennium and the "Clinton List"=== [[Image:Copa campeon 2001.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Copa Mustang 2001]] Despite having won the Colombian League three more times from 2000-2002, América has entered the millennium in economic hardship and unable to prove the team that astonished the world in the 1980s. In [[1995]], Corporación Deportiva América was placed under watch by Executive Order 12978, commonly known in [[Colombia]] as the [[Clinton List]]. Because of its past connections with drug cartels, the [[United States]] froze the team's assets in the U.S. (valued around $1 Million), and ordered other companies not to conduct direct business with América. Also, according to the club's president, [[Image:Boleta homenaje Pitufo.JPG|thumb|left|150px|Game tickets made in honor of Antony de Avila, the club's maximum scorer of all time]] Carlos Puente, the club never received the prize money of $200,000 from the [[Copa Merconorte]] championship. Since then, América's economic crisis has been severe. Currently immersed in nearly $2 million dollars worth of debt, América has survived four years without a direct [[sponsor]] and only receiving money through minimum attendance at the [[Pascual Guerrero]] and the selling of soccer jerseys. The monthly salaries of its players do not exceed $3000 dollars, and América has seen itself forced to make money by selling its most recognized players. However, despite its troubling economic situation, América has maintained a very respectable level of play and still holds a strong tradition as a historical team, although this is slowly fading too. In 2003, America again faced River Plate in the quarterfinal round of the Copa Libertadores, and got their revenge by winning 4-1 [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kSgjxhW_lkI (see video)]. After three tournaments without reaching the final round, in [[2007]] America was finally able to do so with Diego Edinson Umaña as head coach and the assistance of [[Alex Escobar]]. The team made an excellent season and was a firm candidate to win the tournament, in the end falling short by only one goal. Despite this, the team was not left empty-handed since they obtained a berth to [[Copa Sudamericana 2008]], after 3 years of not participating in an international event. For the [[2008]] season, Diego Umaña extended his contract and is currently in the process of preparing the team for both [[Copa Mustang]] and [[Copa Sudamericana]]. ==Rivalries== === América de Cali vs Deportivo Cali === [[Image:Cali vs amer.jpg|thumb|right|250px|[[Deportivo Cali]] vs América de Cali in Copa Mustang II 2006]] This game is called "el clasico vallecaucano", which translated into English means "the cauca valley derby" and by many it is considered to be the "superclasico" of Colombia, very similar to a [[Boca Juniors]] vs [[River Plate]] match. There is a long standing rivalry between these two teams and they have 20 titles combined (one more than Millonarios vs Santa Fe combined), making [[Santiago de Cali|Cali]] one of the most important cities in this sport. The first trace of this derby match was in the final of a local tournament in [[1931]], where América was defeated by The Cali Football Club 0-1; the referee did not count two of América's goals because of supposed offsides plays. Due to the referee's poor performance, América published a series of articles as a protest, leading to the team's suspension from local tournaments for a period of one year.<ref>[http://www.nuevoestadio.com/docu/equipos1.htm Nuevo Estadio :.: La Publicación Deportiva que más vende en Colombia<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref> Cali and America have played 262 "clasicos": with 95 wins for Cali, 82 wins for América and 85 draws. In [[1969]], Deportivo Cali defeated America and won the championship. In [[1986]], América obtained its fifth consecutive title in the final match against [[Deportivo Cali]] and also another title in [[1992]]. This match currently brings 30 to 35 thousand spectators to the stadium. === América de Cali vs Atlético Nacional " The Colombian Superderby" === [[Image:Ame vs nal polvora.jpg|thumb|right|250px|America de Cali vs [[Atletico Nacional]] in Copa Mustang II 2007]] This is one of the most followed games in [[Fútbol Profesional Colombiano]]. Since [[1979]], América and Nacional have seen each other in 15 finals (previously, finals were between more than 2 teams). The most recent final between the two was in [[2002]], where América was able to defeat Nacional in both matches and as a result obtained the 12th title in its history. Statistics from matches between these two teams show that this is the most even "clasico", with 79 wins for América, 74 for Nacional, and 75 draws. The first time they faced each other in [[Copa Libertadores]] was in [[1991]], and up to this date América has 6 victories, Nacional has 4, and there was one draw.{{Fact|date=March 2008}} === América de Cali vs Millonarios: the "clasico" with the most stars === [[Image:Disturbio rojo bogota.jpg|thumb|right|250px|"Disturbio Rojo Bogotá", [[Millonarios]] vs America en [[2004]]]] These two teams combined have 25 titles and also count with numerous supporter groups known as [[Barra brava|barras bravas]]. The rivalry began in the late 70s when América obtained its first title and it grew throughout the 80s, a decade dominated by these two teams. Out of the 10 titles from this decade América won 5 of them and [[Millonarios]] won 2. In the [[1982]] final, América de Cali defeated Millonarios in [[El Campin]], reaching the second title in the club's history. This game was known to paralize the entire country and they fought the [[1989]] title shoulder to shoulder, until it was cancelled. === América de Cali vs Santa Fe: the dispute over the color red === This is a much more recent rivalry which does not have an exact date of origin, but it is said that it originated in the late 80s and early 90s when many of [[Santa Fe]]'s best players were transferred to América de Cali, with little economic compensation and in the end favored América in obtaining various titles. In the [[1999]] edition of [[Copa Merconorte 1999|Copa Merconorte]], these two teams faced each other in the final, where América won 2-1 in [[Santiago de Cali|Cali]] and Santa Fe won 1-0 in [[Bogotá]]. Finally, the game was decided in penalty shootouts, where América obtained its first international title. On May 11th, 2005, in a game between the two in [[El Campin]], a fight broke out between the teams' [[Barra brava|barras bravas]] leaving one dead person. The game was suspended, declaring América the winner by 5-2. This unfortunate event made the rivalry grow even more, although this only occurs in the city of [[Bogotá]]; in [[Santiago de Cali|Cali]] it is just another game. == Fans == [[Image:Tapatribunas America.jpg‎|thumb|right|200px|Huge flag made by Baron Rojo Sur]] The first traditional supporter groups originated during the 1970s, such as "Estrella Roja", "El Reloj", "Sentimiento Rojo" and "Aquel 19" among others. Most of these groups still exist today and locate themselves in the east section of the stadium. In [[1991]], "La Furia Roja" was born, which was mainly conformed by adults from poor neighborhoods in [[Santiago de Cali|Cali]] and characterized themselves with travelling long distances across the country with the team. In [[1997]], a group of adolescents formed America's first [[barra brava]] and named it "Baron Rojo Sur". From its creation, the supporter group is known for having [[Image:Caravana hinchas america.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Large group of fans waiting to go into the stadium]] large numbers of fans throughout the country and in cities around the world such as [[New York]] and [[Miami]]. A great variety of chants have been composed by "Baron Rojo Sur" members, taking the instrumentals of popular songs, of various genres, as models. The latest musical work is called "La Cumbia del Rojo", which was launched in mid 2007 and has gained a great deal of popularity among America fans throughout the country. The name of the supporter group was inspired by a Spanish rock band called [[Baron Rojo]] and "Sur", meaning "South", comes from where they situate themselves in the stadium. Another group with a large number of fans is "Disturbio Rojo" from [[Bogotá]]. During the Copa Mustang II 2007, the average assistance in home games was 20,440 spectators per match. ==Copa Mustang 2008== ===Copa Mustang I=== The new season began on [[July 22]] and América did very well, and was a firm candidate to win the championship, but in the end fell one goal short. Nonetheless, the team made an excellent season and obtained a berth to [[Copa Sudamericana 2008]] Fixtures & Results {{footballbox | date = [[2008-02-03]] | team1 = América | score = 1–1 | team2 =

Currently, America holds the third place in this record, preceded by Millonarios on two occasions(24 and 26 games undefeated). *The biggest shut-out in the history was against Cúcuta Deportivo, where America won 9-0. *The player that won the most championships with a single team is [[Antony de Avila]], with 8 titles. *The coach that won the most championships with a single team is [[Gabriel Ochoa Uribe]], with 7 titles. *America de Cali beat Maradona's [[Argentinos Juniors]] 3-2 in a friendly tournament played in [[Santiago de Cali|Cali]]. *America was extremely close to signing [[Diego Armando Maradona]] for 3 million dollars for a period of 6 months. Unfortunately, this deal fell through due to the numerous offers from European clubs. *In the 1980s, the head coach Gabriel Ochoa Uribe was offered a goalie who was beginning to show off his abilities. Ochoa refused the offer due to the brilliant performances by [[Julio Cesar Falcioni. The goalkeeper who was close to signing with America was none other than [[Jose Luis Chilavert]], one of the best in the world. *In the 80s decade, America possessed the most expensive roster in the continent. *Gabriel Ochoa Uribe played America's first professional team in [[1948]], and as a coach gave the team its first title in [[1979]]. == Uniform == [[Image:Camisa local america.JPG|thumb|right|200px|Home uniform by Keuka]] *'''Home uniform''': Red shirt, shorts, and socks. *'''Away uniform''': White shirt, shorts, and socks. *'''Third unidorm''': Black shirt, shorts, and socks. According to historic versions, America first started out using the colors blue and white, which belonged to [[Racing Club]] from [[Avellaneda]]; then America switched to red and blue. From 1927 to 1931, it alternated between a red shirt and white shorts to a white shirt and red shorts. An article written in [[El Gráfico]], where the America players were referred to as "red devils", caused a special impression and from that moment the uniform was completely red.<ref>[http://www.copamustang.com/scripts/historia.php?sec=838 :: Copa Mustang ::<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref><ref>[http://copamustang.com/scripts/historia.php?sec=838 :: Copa Mustang ::<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref> == Crest == [[Image:Escudo 80 anos.jpg|thumb|right|150px|80 years of existence]] The devil first appeared on the crest in [[1940]] because of the popular belief that the players "played like devils" on the field. During [[Gabriel Ochoa Uribe]]'s twelve years with the institution, the devil was always an inconvenience for him so it was removed due to religious reasons. For this reason, the crest only carried the number of stars or titles obtained by the club. In [[1992]], the devil was completely removed and was only used for the administrative aspects of the institution. As a celebration of the club's 70 years, the devil was put back on the uniforms. From this date forward, any malignant beliefs regarding the devil have been completely removed. In [[2007]], in order to conmemorate the club's 80 years of existence, the devil was temporarily replaced with a logo that reads "80 años" (80 years) and underneath "1927-2007"; above the crest are the 12 stars obtained by the club. ==Stadium== [[Estadio Olímpico Pascual Guerrero]] ==Current squad== ''As of [[january 23]], [[2008]]'' {{Football squad start}} {{Football squad player|no=1|nat=Uruguay|name=[[Adrián Berbia]]|pos=GK}} {{Football squad player|no=3|nat=Colombia|name=[[Emmanuel Acosta]]|pos=DF}} {{Football squad player|no=4|nat=Colombia|name=[[Jaime Córdoba]]|pos=MF}} {{Football squad player|no=5|nat=Colombia|name=[[Carlos Valdez]]|pos=DF}} {{Football squad player|no=6|nat=Colombia|name=[[Mauricio Arquez]]|pos=MF}} {{Football squad player|no=7|nat=Colombia|name=[[Pablo Stifer Armero]]|pos=DF}} {{Football squad player|no=8|nat=Argentina|name=[[Mario Alejandro Costas]]|pos=FW}} {{Football squad player|no=9|nat=Panama|name=[[Luis Tejada]]|pos=FW}} {{Football squad player|no=10|nat=Colombia|name=[[Javier Reina]]|pos=MF}} {{Football squad player|no=11|nat=Colombia|name=[[Harrison Otálvaro Arce]]|pos=MF}} {{Football squad player|no=12|nat=Colombia|name=[[Álvaro Anzola]]|pos=GK}} {{Football squad player|no=13|nat=Colombia|name=[[Ivan Velez]]|pos=DF}} {{Football squad mid}} {{Football squad player|no=14|nat=Colombia|name=[[Jhon Valencia]]|pos=MF}} {{Football squad player|no=16|nat=Colombia|name=[[Jersson González]]|pos=MF}} {{Football squad player|no=17|nat=Colombia|name=[[Paulo Cesar Arango]]|pos=FW}} {{Football squad player|no=18|nat=Colombia|name=[[Carlos Preciado]]|pos=FW}} {{Football squad player|no=19|nat=Colombia|name=[[Oscar Restrepo]]|pos=MF}} {{Football squad player|no=20|nat=Colombia|name=[[Gustavo Adrian Ramos]]|pos=FW}} {{Football squad player|no=21|nat=Chile|name=[[César Henríquez]]|pos=MF}} {{Football squad player|no=24|nat=Colombia|name=[[Jhon Harlod Viafara]]|pos=DF}} {{Football squad player|no=25|nat=Colombia|name=[[Víctor Cortés]]|pos=FW}} {{Football squad player|no=26|nat=Colombia|name=[[Pedro Tavima]]|pos=DF}} {{Football squad player|no=28|nat=Colombia|name=[[Gian Carlos Dueñas]]|pos=MF}} {{Football squad player|no=30|nat=Colombia|name=[[Duvan Zapata]]|pos=FW}} {{Football squad end}} === Reserve & Youth Squad === {{Football squad start}} {{Football squad player|no=--|nat=Colombia|name=[[José Huber Escobar]]|pos=GK}} {{Football squad player|no=--|nat=Colombia|name=[[Jorge Enrique Vargas]]|pos=MF}} {{Football squad player|no=--|nat=Colombia|name=[[Heriberto Velandia]]|pos=DF}} {{Football squad player|no=--|nat=Colombia|name=[[Luis Felipe Cardoza]]|pos=DF}} {{Football squad player|no=--|nat=Colombia|name=[[Luis Orozco]]|pos=MF}} {{Football squad mid}} {{Football squad player|no=--|nat=Colombia|name=[[Giovanny Arrechea]]|pos=FW}} {{Football squad player|no=--|nat=Colombia|name=[[Luis Fernando Angulo]]|pos=DF}} {{Football squad player|no=--|nat=Colombia|name=[[Juan Camilo Angulo]]|pos=DF}} {{Football squad player|no=--|nat=Colombia|name=[[Francisco Lopez]]|pos=MF}} {{Football squad player|no=--|nat=Venezuela|name=[[Rafael Dudamel]]|pos=GK}} {{Football squad player|no=--|nat=Venezuela|name=[[Oswaldo José Rodríguez]]|pos=FW}} {{Football squad end}} '''Transfers 2008''' ;'''In''' {| {{Football squad player|no=--|nat=Colombia|name=[[Jersson González]]|pos=MF|other=from [[Boyacá Chicó F.C.]]}} {{Football squad player|no=--|nat=Uruguay|name=[[Adrián Berbia]]|pos=GK|other=from [[Juventud de Las Piedras]]}} {{Football squad player|no=--|nat=Chile|name=[[Cesar Henríquez]]|pos=MF|other=from [[Melipilla]]}} {{Football squad player|no=--|nat=Argentina|name=[[Mario Alejandro Costas]]|pos=FW|other=from [[L.A.
