History
Bogotá F.C. is a club with a duality in its history, having been born under its current name in 2004 when it debuted in the
Colombian second division, but coming from another club named ''Club El Cóndor'' which was founded in 1991 and played under three different guises: in 2000 the club was called ''El Cóndor'', in 2002 ''Cóndor Real Bogotá'' and a few years later ''Cóndor Deportivo Sur-Bogotá''.
Bogotá's best performance was achieved in the first half of 2007 in the Copa Premier, after qualifying to a semifinal phase for the first time ever, with a near-perfect season and a roster mixing experienced players and young talents such as
Javier Cuero.
In 2005, the team's management was taken over by the company "GoGo" which provided capital to the team. During the 2010 season, played in one tournament, Bogotá performed a great campaign, advancing to the semi-finals in sixth place. After leading their group in the first half of that stage with seven points out of nine, they were eliminated after losing 3–2 at home against
