After climbing the Panamanian league system, in 1994 they took advantage of a split in Panama's governing body to move into the top division.

What happened was that a rival league (LINFUNA) formed in opposition to the older, existing top flight (ANAPROF).

[1] Their success continued once they re-entered ANAPROF; at that time, Tauro FC was the dominant team in the league and would win three championships in four years between 1996 and 2000.

The only club to break that string was Árabe Unido, which won the 1998–99 title by beating Tauro 3–0 in the playoff final.
