Form L W L L W D

The road to a first promotion ran through Imbabura, where Leones del Norte won the provincial title four years running, from 2020 to 2023, before taking that form into the national Ascenso Nacional. The playoff there ended with a 2-1 win over San Antonio FC in 2023, and with it a place in Serie B. It had started out in provincial Segunda Categoría football the year after.

Serie B brought a different test. In the 2025 promotion group, Leones del Norte finished second, enough to earn a first season in Serie A, Ecuador's top flight.

The club changed its name to Leones Fútbol Club in July 2024, and the colours changed with it: red, white and black replaced the yellow and blue the team had worn since Atuntaqui. Home matches are played at the Estadio Olímpico de Ibarra, and the supporters still call the side La Manada — the pack.

Serie A now puts Leones del Norte in with clubs built over decades rather than years.
