History
The club was founded in 2005 by the Sindicato Único Nacional de Trabajadores de la Industria de la Construcción y Similares de Panamá (SUNTRACS).
In 2010 SUNTRACS was promoted to the Liga Nacional de Ascenso after defeating Los Pumas 5–0 in the Copa Rommel Fernández final. During their first season in the second division they were able to play the promotion playoff against Colón C-3 after defeating Independiente in penalties during the 2011 Clausura final. Unfortunately for the sindicalistas, they were defeated 2–0[1] and remained in the second division. They were 2014 Apertura champions,[2] but in summer 2015 they were again beaten in the overall championship final, losing 3–0 to Atlético Nacional.[3]
