Its hometown is [[Bogota]] ==History== The team was founded on [[28 February]], [[1941]] in [[Bogotá]]. In [[23 March]], [[1941]] Independiente Santa Fe initiated its activities as a club. Originally, it was born in the campus of [[Gimnasio Moderno]], in [[Bogotá]]. Independiente Santa Fe won its first championship in [[1948]], becoming the First Colombian champion. After this, Independiente Santa Fe obtained the [[1958]], [[1960]], [[1966]], [[1971]] and [[1975]] championships. In 2005 the main fan association, LGARS (La Guardia Albirroja Sur - The South White-Red Guard), with the help of Samsung, Independiente Santa Fe's main sponsor at the time and the club's administration, put together the largest soccer team's flag in the world. The flag, named the 'Lienzo de Fe' (Linen Cloth of Faith), is 350 meters long and 38 high, covering the southern end of 'El Campín', half the venue, where the team's fans locate in home games. The flag is shown on every home game. In 2006, the team won the chance to play the "repechaje" to [[Copa Libertadores de America]] against [[Defensor Sporting]] from Uruguay, defeating them. Santa Fe made the elimination stage (third round), after winning its preliminary round group, losing to [[Chivas Guadalajara]]. It's widely regarded in Colombia that the younger Santa Fe fans "inherited" the fandom from their parents and grandparents, since most of them actually have never seen the team win a championship. Although the wait has lasted more than thirty years, [[Deportes Quindío]] (last championship - 1956), and [[Union Magdalena]] (last championship - 1968) have longer streaks; however, Santa Fe has six caps while the former two have only their single titles, and hasn't been demoted to the second division since its foundation. Some put the blame on bad management and lack of commitment. Nevertheless, the team has remained popular, like their rivals [[Club Deportivo Los Millonarios|Los Millonarios]] because of the loyalty of their fans. ==Stadium== [[Image:Clásico 250 048.jpg|thumb|300px|right|Fans of Santa Fe, southern section of the [[Estadio El Campín|Estadio El Campín]], holding one of the largest flags in the world.]] The stadium Nemesio Camacho "El Campín" is the venue where Independiente Santa Fe plays its home games.
