Santa Ana Fútbol Club is a Costa Rican football club, currently competing in the Primera División de Costa Rica.
The team plays its home games in the Estadio de Piedades de Santa Ana in Santa Ana, San José, Costa Rica.
History
[edit]It was founded in 1993 in the canton of Santa Ana in the province of San José after acquiring the Vecinos de Santa Ana franchise, a team that won the title of the First Division of LINAFA and achieved promotion to the Segunda División de Costa Rica for the 1993/94 season. [1]
The team was in the Second Division of Costa Rica for 10 seasons until they were relegated in the 2002/03 season.
Season 2023−24
[edit]Their greatest historical event comes in the Clausura 2024, where they would be promoted to the Primera División for the first time. They would finish fourth in group A, and, in the quarterfinals, they would defeat Quepos Cambute 2−1. In the semifinals, they defeated Escorpiones 3–0 on aggregate, advancing to a Second Division final for the first time. In the final, they would face Jicaral, where in the first game they would defeat them 3–0, and in the second game, they would lose 2–1, but the aggregate was not enough for them and Santa Ana was promoted for the first time, winning the Segunda División and play in the highest category of Costa Rican football.
