History

The owners of Coca Cola football decided to change name to Nacional 1906 and through a partnership with Independiente San Vicente were reformed to Independiente Nacional 1906 [2]. Independiente Nacional won promotion in 2006 to Salvadoran Premier League, however due to poor results the team was relegated from the primera division after just one season.[1] They then failed to register for the new season in summer 2007 for failing to meet their financial obligations and were kept on hiatus for five years.[2]
