They are based in Guatemala City and play their home matches in the Estadio Cementos Progreso.

During the 1960s decade, they won their first three national league titles, which came in a span of four years, in the 1964, 1966, and 1967–68 seasons.

The 1970s also brought international success, as they won the Copa Fraternidad in 1976 by beating some of the best teams in Central America, including defending champions Platense,[1] thanks in good part to the attacking duo Pennant and René Morales each contributing with a tournament-high seven goals to the successful run.

Two more league titles came in the 1980s, one in 1984 and the other in 1986, the former while being managed by coach Rubén Amorín and the latter under Jorge Roldán, who also led them to another title in the 1992–93 season, the eighth and last championship won by Aurora to date.

In 2005, they shocked local fans and media when they were relegated to Primera División after 60 years of playing in the top flight.
