History
Alianza F.C. was founded on 2 March 1963 by a group of 12 young players that had represented Panama in the first CONCACAF Youth Championship. That date makes them the second oldest club in modern Panamanian football.
The club was supported by various benefactors such as the local police, Don Justiniano Cardenas, and the Espivak Company during its early decades. In 1980, the club was chosen among other eight clubs to participate in the first professional football league in Panama, which was called the Liga Superior de Fútbol de Panamá.
As of 1989, the club joined to Anaprof's non-amateur football tournaments, which was interrupted by the disunity that arose in the local football environment, and was forced to compete in the so-called Linfuna League. After two seasons, the club returned to the Primera A of ANAPROF, where won promotion two seasons afterwards after beating Atletico Guadalupe 1–0. In 2003, they enjoyed their best season ever, reaching the Clausura finals before losing 5-1 to Tauro FC.
