history
First club founded and one year of the first division in 1971
The Real Cartagena was created in 1971. Fans of Cartagena took the opportunity when the club Atlético Bucaramanga went through a period of financial crisis and not on the playing time of the Categoría Primera A 1971 could participate. Real Cartagena took part in the championship with a mixed squad of previous players from Bucaramanga and other players. Before the start of the season , a friendly match against the traditional club Atlético Junior from Barranquilla was played on January 31, 1971 in the Estadio Pedro de Heredia, today's Estadio Jaime Morón León . This first game in the club's history ended 1: 1 in front of many spectators. However, the affiliation to the Colombian professional football was not permanent and after only one year Atlético Bucaramanga took his traditional starting place again. The name Real Cartagena was subsequently used by various non-professional teams.
1992 to 1999: re-establishment, first relegation and first second division championship
A return to professional football took place in 1992 when businessmen from Cartagena re-founded the club, took over the starting rights from Sporting de Barranquilla and became members of DIMAYOR . However, in the first season in 1992 , the club was relegated to the Primera B category. Real Cartagena played there until their first promotion to the first division in 1999 .
2000 to 2010: relegations, promotions and runner-up
After three seasons, the club rose in 2002 for the second time from the first division. This time Real Cartagena was able to return to promotion after two seasons and celebrated their second championship title in the second division in 2004 . The rise was followed in the back series in 2005 with the runner-up, the greatest success in the club's history. In the final, Real Cartagena only had to admit defeat to the top club Deportivo Cali .
After the 2007 season , the club rose for the third time in the second division. This time, however, after only one year in 2008 , the club was able to make a direct resurgence and became record champions of the Colombian second division with the third title.
Since 2010: fourth relegation and years in the second division
After the last relegation in 2012 , the club is currently playing in the second division. In the 2013 season , the club moved into the group stage in the Torneo Finalización , but finished last in Group A and thus could not qualify for the final. In the Torneo Apertura 2014 , the club just failed to make it into the top eight teams and did not qualify for the quarter-finals. In the back series it was even closer: Real Cartagena were among the top eight teams before the last match day, but lost the decisive game against Atlético Bucaramanga and ended up in ninth place. Also in the special promotion round for traditional clubs of the second division in January 2015, the club missed promotion.
In the 2015 season, Real Cartagena qualified for the final round, but had to admit defeat atlético Bucaramanga and América de Cali in his group .
During the 2016 season , three different coaches trained the club. Initially, Hubert Bodhert , who was hired in June 2015, was in office until March 2016 . He was surprisingly dismissed, which led to protests from fans. The dismissal came with the aim of hiring Giovanni Hernández , who had little experience as a coach, but is still remembered in Colombia as a former national player. Hernández moved on in July when he signed a contract with the first division junior from Barranquilla . For him José Rodríguez was signed , who had already made promotion to the first division with Uniautónoma FC and Atlético Bucaramanga . He led Cartagena into the final round as third in the league phase. There, however, the club remained beaten behind America and Deportes Quindío .
After a weak start to the season, Rodríguez was replaced by José Fernando Santa in March 2017 . Real Cartagena finished the Apertura 2017 in penultimate place. The return series was more successful. Real Cartagena was able to reach the final round as seventh in the league phase. After Deportivo Pereira was defeated in the quarterfinals , the club was eliminated in the semifinals against Llaneros FC .
José Fernando Santa moved to league rivals Deportivo Pereira in January 2018. Real Cartagena signed Marco Indaburo as his successor for the 2018 season . In May Indaburo was replaced by Richard Parra , who led the club to fourth place and into the final round. There Cartagena was bottom of the group and missed the finals.
In Apertura 2019 , Cartagena took first place in the league phase. Surprisingly, the coach Parra was subsequently replaced by José Fernando Santa. In the group stage, the club narrowly missed the finals as second in group A.
Stadion
Real Cartagena plays its home games at the Estadio Jaime Morón León .
