[edit] History

Club Deportivo Águila was founded on February 15, 1926, in the City of San Miguel, by a group of young people^[1]. The first club President was Victor Vanegas. The major goal of the club was first to establish a baseball team, and later develop football and basketball teams. At the beginning, baseball and football were not as successful as basketball with the team dominating both El Salvador and as well as in neighboring countries.

In 1956, a group met in San Miguel and decided to form a football team named Club Deportivo Águila. Early players included Juan Francisco Barraza, Esteban Blanco, Salvador Hernandez, Juan Merthem, Atilio Pineda, Manuel Larios, and Rodolfo Fuentes.

During its time in the lower leagues, It fought for the affections of the San Miguel people alongside rival C.D. Dragon, but when they were promoted to the Liga, it attracted a following not only from San Miguel but also from the entire country. Proof of this was demonstrated by the fact that the teams sold more tickets when the local club played against Águila.

C.D. Águila ranks second in the number of championships won in El Salvador with fourteen titles. These were won in 1959, coached by Conrado Miranda; in 1960, coached by Carlos Padilla; in 1963-1964, coached by Victor Manuel Ochoa; in 1968, coached by Zózimo Alves Calazáns; in 1972, coached by Juan Francisco Barraza; in 1975-1976, coached by Conrado Miranda; in 1983, coached by Juan Francisco Barraza; in 1986, coached by Hernán Carrasco Vivanco; in 1999-2000-2001, coached by Hugo Alberto Coria; and in 2006, coached by Vladan Vicevic. They were also champion of the Copa President in 2000.

The members of the team that conquered the first championship in 1959 were Luis Alberto Lopez, Rodolfo Fuentes, Justiniano Fernando Jimenez, Manuel Larios, Raul Vasquez, Raul Bonilla, Raul Lizano, Juan Francisco Barraza, Juan Antonio Merlos, and Saul Molina.
