History
Atlético Marte came to life on April 22, 1950, when the Alacranes, which was managed by some of the military, were given promotion to the Primera División de Fútbol Profesional. Atlético Marte's arrival in the first division coincided with the disappearance of Libertad F.C., both players and staff were absorbed into Atlético Marte as a sign of respect. The team were made up of great players such as the goalkeeper Ovidio López, defenders Antonio "El Chino" Montes, Isaías Choto, Alvaro Alarcón and Roberto "Venado" Barrios, Midfielders Luis Regalado and Conrado Miranda, and finally the strikers Carlos "La Rata" Gálvez, Armando "El Potro" Ruano, Obdulio Vásquez and Mario Aguila. The original team colours were camisola cream and ochre calzoneta. In 1959 the team colours was changed to blue and white.
In the 1955-56 season, reinforced with players of the stature of Gustavo Lucha, Manuel Garay, Armando Rivas, Miguel "El Pibe" Vásquez, René "Pelón" García and Abraham "El Carabina" Jiménez, Atlético Marte won its first championship, and remained champion in the tournament 1956-57 and 1957-58. In other words, three consecutive years of being champions. After ten years of drought in terms of titles, but always with the label of a prestigious and dangerous team, 'The Martians' returned to the glory of winning successive championships in 1969-70 and 1970-71. It was the fourth and fifth titles respectively in its history.
From 1972 to 1979, 'The Martians' continued fighting for the title with the teams of the primera Division, but it was not until the 1980-81 season could they raise their sixth title. They were able to reclaim the title by winning 1982-83 season, it's fair to mention that the team had only domestic players this year and continued with their Eighth and what would turn out to be their last title in 1985.
However, their teams quality were finally recognised internationally, when in 1992 they were crowned champion of CONCACAF Cup Winners Cup, a contest held in Guatemala and with the presence of so many strong teams in the regions such as Club Universidad de Guadalajara, Mexico; Comunicaciones, Guatemala; Saprissa, Costa Rica; and Real Estelí, Nicaragua. They had previously made the final of Concacaf champions cup in 1981 however losing to SV Transvaal of Surinam over two leg series.
They failed to reach the final of the primera division, but maintained its strength by making two semifinal both times defeated by Aguila. The team of 1995 was directed by Reno and Renucci contained great foreigners players such as Rodinei Martins, el "ostrero" Alberi Dos Santos y Agustin Alberto "La Chochera" Castillo. The players of 1999 finished second on the table, mainly due to Emiliano Pedrozo, Ernesto Góchez, Cristian Lopez, Chepe Martínez, Mario Pablo Quintanilla and Guillermo Morán.
