History
Deportes Savio was founded in 1964 as Atlético Lempira. They changed their name to Santo Domingo Savio in 1971, when Padre Chavarría was in charge of the team and wanted it to be a part of the Instituto Santo Domingo Savio in Santa Rosa de Copán. In 1995, a board of new directors bought the category of Deportes Progreseño of Segunda division and changed the name of the club to Deportes Savio.[1]
Deportes Savio was promoted to Liga Nacional de Futbol de Honduras for the first time in the 1999-2000 season but were relegated back down to Liga de Ascenso de Honduras after they finished in last place in the 2001-02 season. The team manage to earn a second promotion to Liga Nacional de Honduras by defeating Arsenal in the 2006-07 Liga de Ascenso promotion playoff.
In 2007, although they did not make the play-offs in their return to the top league, Deportes Savio was very successful, finishing fifth place in the standings and becoming the third best team with the highest average attendance.
