History

Real Soacha Cundinamarca was founded by the owners of former Categoría Primera B club Valledupar F.C., who on 22 June 2023 voted to move the club from Valledupar to Soacha due to the lack of support from both the local government and private enterprises in the former city. The move was greenlit by the División Mayor del Fútbol Profesional Colombiano at a General Assembly session of the entity held on 6 July 2023.
The club was officially presented by the local government of Soacha at a press conference held on 10 July 2023, and played its first match in the 2023 Categoría Primera B season on 23 July 2023, hosting Cortuluá in a game that ended in a scoreless draw. In its first participation in the Primera B, the 2023–II tournament, the team placed second from bottom with 14 points in 16 matches, only winning 2 of those games.
The electoral victory of Julián Sánchez as mayor of Soacha, who announced that financial support to Real Soacha Cundinamarca would be cut and it would be sent back to Valledupar starting from 1 January 2024, meant that the club was forced to leave Soacha at the end of 2023. On 24 January 2024, the rebranding of the club to Real Cundinamarca and its relocation to Bogotá was confirmed and approved at the General Assembly of Dimayor.
Starting from the 2024 season, the club has had consistent campaigns, reaching the semifinal stage of the Primera B championship for the first time in the second tournament of that season. In the following season, Real Cundinamarca reached a final series for the first time, losing to Cúcuta Deportivo on penalty kicks.

Stadium

In 2023, the club played its home matches at Estadio Luis Carlos Galán Sarmiento in Soacha, which has a capacity of 7,000 people. According to the then mayor of Soacha, Juan Carlos Saldarriaga, a 4 billion COP investment had been made in order to enable the stadium to host professional football games. For 2024, they moved to Parque Estadio Olaya Herrera in Bogotá, with a capacity of 2,500 spectators.
Starting from 2026, the club will relocate to Mosquera, Cundinamarca following the completion of the construction of the town's municipal stadium, which will have a capacity of 5,440 spectators.
