In January 2011, it was announced that the Alacranes del Norte license had been removed by the Segunda División, following financial difficulties for the owner, Mynor Vargas and the failure of attempts to find a new ownership group.

In 2004, Nejapa won promotion to the Second Division thanks to the help of both Colombian player Andrés Medina Aguirre and Manager Douglas Vidal Jiménez (former coach of ADET).

In 2006, Carlos "El Cacho" Meléndez took the reins at Nejapa and started to sign both upcoming players and experienced ones, such as Mexican forward José Luis Osorio.

Chalatenango's former players created a new team and merged it with Nejapa to establish a new club.

Since late 2009, the Estadio José Gregorio Martínez in Chalatenango had served as their home stadium.
