History

[edit]

In the summer of 2012, the club was disaffiliated and disbanded after not paying player salaries and going into heavy debt. Bad ownership and mismanagement led to the downfall of the club.[2] A new club from the same city claiming to have no relation to Deportivo Xinabajul, was founded weeks later, they began play in division 3. Ever since then, the team has been playing in the Primera División, the second tier of Guatemalan football.[3]

The club returned to the Liga Nacional in June 2022 after winning their promotional playoff game against Marquense.
