The club was founded in 1928 as Germania; after ten years of existence, their name would be changed to ADIX (Asociación Deportiva Independiente de Xelajú), and during that time the uniform colors were established as red jersey and blue shorts,[1] a combination that remains to date.

In the 2007 Clausura tournament, they eliminated five-time defending champion Municipal in semi-finals, to reach their first final since the inception of the Apertura/Clausura format.

Past kit sponsors include Joma, Lotto, Vicnar, Puma, MR, Reto Sports, and Do More.

The club's shield is circular in shape, it has written in white letters the name of the team around the circumference, in the center it has a goat and the background is a yellow soccer ball.

One of the most typical characteristics of the supporters is the way they sing Luna de Xelajú, a theme considered as the anthem of Quetzaltenango.
