Administración Nacional de Telecomunicaciones, also known as ANTEL, was a Salvadoran professional football club perhaps best known for being the first club where the famous El Salvadoran Mágico González played.

History

[edit]

The team played in the Primera División de Fútbol de El Salvador for two seasons from 1975 to 1977.[1] After finishing in mid-table after the 1977 season, ANTEL decided to selling their place in the first division to Independiente de San Vicente, effectively ending the club's history as a professional entity.[2]

They then slowly went into decline and were renamed ANTEL-Telecom then again renamed Telecom FC. The club ceased to exist after the 2006/2007 season, after their main sponsor and company they were named after pulled all support due to financial pressure leaving Telecom FC to be dissolved.
