history
The club Zamora FC was founded on February 2, 1977 in Barinas , the capital of the state of the same name in western Venezuela . Initially, the club played in the lower leagues of Venezuelan football. In the 2005/06 season they finished second in the second division, the Segunda División, and qualified for the first time for the Primera División , in which they finished the first season with a surprisingly good fourth place in the final table after the Torneo Apertura fifth and fourth in the Torneo Clausura. With fourth place in the final table, Zamora FC reached the Copa Sudamericana 2007 , where they failed in the first qualifying round against the Ecuadorian representative CD Olmedo. In the following season, Zamora FC was able to repeat the previous year's position in the Torneo Apertura and again came in fifth. Since you finished the Clausura competition in seventh place, after adding up the points, you also finished seventh in the final table and this time missed participation in the Copa Sudamericana . In the 2008/09 season, Zamora FC again managed to promote the continental business. The club was seventh in the Apertura and fourth in the Clausura and thus reached a third place in the final table behind champions FC Caracas and the second Deportivo Táchira . They qualified because of third place for the Copa Sudamericana 2009 , which again ended in the first qualifying round. Ecuador's top club Emelec Guayaquil was too big a hurdle. The 2009/10 season ended for Zamora FC with seventh place in the overall table and qualification for the Copa Sudamericana was missed. In the 2010/11 season Zamora FC reached the final of the Venezuelan football championship, in which they were defeated by Deportivo Táchira FC . Previously, Zamora had achieved first place in the Torneo Clausura after finishing the Apertura only in thirteenth. In 2012 Zamora won the first championship and was even able to successfully defend the title in 2013.
