Everything else sits below that peak. That comeback carried its own weight: Cúcuta had been dissolved in 2020 under the strain of debt and dropped from Dimayor altogether, returning only in 2021 to start over in Primera B. Flores, the same man who lifted the 2006 trophy as captain, came back as coach and took the team through the 2025 promotion final.

The club has sent a handful of players further afield. Faustino Asprilla began his career here between 1988 and 1990 before moving on to Parma and Newcastle. Blas Pérez spent a season in red and black in 2006-07 on his way to becoming Panama's all-time leading scorer for the national team.

Founded in Cúcuta in 1924 as Cúcuta Sports Club, the team took its place in the professional league from 1949 and has long carried the nickname Los Motilones.
