History

Patriotas was founded in 2003 by the then-governor of Boyacá Miguel Ángel Bermúdez, together with then Coldeportes' chairman and the owners of hardware business G&J. In its first year in the Primera B, the club reached the semifinals, where was eliminated by Bogotá Chicó.

In 2004 the team advanced again to the Semifinals, where the team played against Deportivo Antioquia, Centauros Villavicencio and Expreso Rojo, but did not qualify. In 2005 Patriotas was second in the general table but in the Semifinals was eliminated by Bajo Cauca. In 2009 some changes were implemented in the tournament. Patriotas was first in Group B but was eliminated again in the Semifinals and ended up in third place.

In 2011 the team was promoted to the Categoría Primera A after beating América de Cali by penalties. In 2016, the team qualified for the Knockout phase for the first time, after placing 8th in the First Stage.[1] That year, the team also managed to qualify for the 2017 Copa Sudamericana, which was the first participation of the team in an international competition, reaching the second stage.[2]
