It's one of the traditional clubs of Guatemala, the club became league champions for the first time in 2004, when they defeated Municipal in the Clausura tournament final.[1] The club was relegated from Liga Mayor after losing a play-off to Zacapa and spent 2007 until 2014 in the Primera División Group "A" or "B". Following a win over Mictlán in May 2015, Cobán was promoted to the Liga Mayor where they currently play.[2]
It was founded in 1924 participating for many years in the lower league. The club was invited to be part of the Cup Tournament in the Guatemalan major league in 1960 because they was a good team and their own stadium. Eduardo "Mondongo" Guzmán was the first coach of the Cobaneros, under the name of Magisterio de Cobán , they played only 3 games since from now on they did it under the name of 'Cobán Imperial'; during the tournament they must have played the number of 17 games, however Cobán only fulfilled 13 games since the rest no longer modified the standing, finishing in 14th.
Their debut was against the team called Aviateca tying for one goal, the first goal in its history was scored by player Mario Winter.
In 1964, they won promotion, but could not face more experienced teams and in 1966 they were relegated again. In 1975 when the "Jimmy Álvarez" team due to non-sports situations, changed venue, after its board managed to take part of people in the city of Cobán and therefore managing to change the name to "Cobán Imperial" thus achieving its third participation for 1976, taking advantage of it very well until 1988, when it again occupied the basement of the table. They returned with great vigour in 1994 and declined again in 1996, but achieved promotion again very quickly the following year in 1997, until the last time in 2006, when descended again, but the joy came again for the people of Cobán, on May 24, 2015, as Cobán Imperial defeated Mictlán 1-0 at the Estadio Mateo Flores. Being one of the teams that had many runners-up in a row, they earned the nickname or nickname of the "already merit" until he finally won the national championship at Mateo Flores national stadium in 2004.
The club is one of the most traditional, winning, respected teams and in Guatemala and Central America.
