History

Alianza F.C. was founded on March 2, 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 soccer.
The club was supported by various benefactors such as the local police, Don Justiniano Cardenas, and the Espivak Company during its early decades. They reached Panama's premier division in 1989, lasting until 1993. They briefly joined LINFUNA a rogue league that rivaled ANAPROF.
After two seasons there, the club returned to the Primera A of ANAPROF where it then 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.
The club has always placed a strong emphasis on youth teams, competing at the U-12, U-14, U-15, U-16, and U-19 levels.
