History
The club was founded by Jose Teran , a football fan from Sangolka, on March 1, 1958 . Two years after the death of its founder, in 1977, the club was renamed Independent Jose Teran. Initially, the club colors were red and white, and they were taken from the famous Argentinean Independiente .
In 1995, the team first made it to the “Second Category” (division) of Ecuadorian football, after which the name of the club changed to modern, and club colors became blue and black. Translated from Spanish, the full name of the club translates as "Club of Special High Achievements" Independents from the Valley "" . In total, in the “Second category”, the third most important division of the championship of Ecuador, the club spent 23 full seasons.
In 2007, a team from Sangolka achieved a class upgrade by moving to Serie B , Ecuador’s second-oldest division. After just two seasons, Independiente, having won the championship in Serie B, went to Serie A - the top division, where he still plays [2] .
