Founded in 2012, they play in the Venezuelan Primera División, holding home matches at the Estadio Olímpico de la UCV.

Founded on 3 August 2012 under the name of Deportivo Metropolitano, the club took Lara FC's place in the Segunda División for the 2012–13 season, as the latter had severe financial problems.

After narrowly avoiding relegation in 2017, Metropolitanos finished in the penultimate position overall in 2018, but benefitted from the league's expansion to remain in the first division.

After the arrival of José María Morr as manager, the club qualified to the Copa Sudamericana in 2020 and 2021, aside from winning a first-ever title in 2022.
