Jaguares de Córdoba

The team was created on 5 December 2012 at a meeting held by team president Nelson Soto Duque, the mayor of Montería, and the governor of Córdoba. In an initiative led by the Montería city hall and the Córdoba government, with support from local companies, an agreement was reached with the direction to move Sucre F.C. from Sincelejo to Montería from 2013 under the name Jaguares de Córdoba.

Soto Duque is the major owner of the club that was founded in 1995 as Girardot. It has moved four times, and played under the names Deportes Palmira, Pacífico, Sucre, and finally Jaguares.

On February 3, 2013, the team debuted at the Primera B winning 2–1 against Real Cartagena, and the following year they earned promotion to the Categoría Primera A after winning the Torneo Postobón 2014-I by defeating América de Cali 5–1 on aggregate score in the final, and then beat 2014-II winners Deportes Quindío in the final of the year, winning 3–2 on aggregate score after losing the first leg 2–0 in the city of Armenia.

The team was eliminated in the quarterfinals by Atlético Nacional. In the Torneo Finalización, the team placed 8th and qualified again for the knockout stage, again being eliminated in the quarterfinals, this time by Santa Fe.
