Independiente Santa Fe, known simply as Santa Fe, is a professional Colombian football team based in Bogotá, that currently plays in the Categoría Primera A. They play their home games at the El Campín stadium.

Considered one of the most important and historic teams in Colombia, Santa Fe has won 8 national championships (most recently in 2014), won the first Colombian national championship in 1948, and is one of the three teams that has played every championship in the Categoría Primera A, the top league in Colombia.[2] Santa Fe became the first Colombian team to win the Copa Sudamericana, winning the 2015 edition. This was also the club's first international trophy. The club was recognized as one of the ten best clubs of the world in 2015 by the IFFHS, occupying the seventh position and being the best ranked of South America.[3]

Santa Fe has a fierce rivalry with intercity club Millonarios who share the same stadium. Considered to be one of the most important derbies of the country, matches between them are known as the El Clásico Bogotano or El Clásico Capitalino.

History

Independiente Santa Fe was officially founded on February 28, 1941 as an amateur football team. The club's founders were mainly graduates from the Gimnasio Moderno and of a high social class. Santa Fe was at first going to a team based on ex-students of Gimnasio Moderno, but later incorporated players from other schools. The main objective of the team was to participate in a local tournament hosted by the Sports Association of Bogota. Their first recorded game was against Universal, a match that ended in a goal less draw. The team ended the tournament as runner-up with 20 points, being beaten by Legión Militar Deportiva de los Taxis Rojos, a representative of a transportation company.

In 1942, Santa Fe was coached by Jack Greenwell, former Barcelona player and coach, notable for having won 3 times the Copa del Rey and the 1939 South American Championship with Peru. That year Santa Fe played in the first division of the A.D.B., which was canceled in the middle of that year. That same year also reached the final of the Torneo de Cundinamarca, which lost against América de Cali. Jack Greenwell died on November 20 of that year.

On 21 May 1948 was established in Colombia the DIMAYOR, which would serve to manage Colombian professional football. They agreed to hold the first professional championship for the second half of the year. On August 15, Santa Fe played its first game in the professional championship against Deportes Caldas, match that ended 3–3. Santa Fe finished the league as the first champion of the Colombian first division, winning 12 of 18 games, drew 3 and lost also 3. The team was able to score 57 goals for, and received 29 against. The goalscorer of the team was the Spanish Argentine Jesús María Lires with 20 goals, second goalscorer of the tournament.[4]

Colours and badge

First badge of the club

The first badge of Santa Fe was designed by Ernesto Gamboa and Gonzalo Rueda with a clear British influence. Highlighting the Bogotá flag colors, red and yellow, combined to form the Holy Cross, symbol of faith and respect, referring to the name of the club.

There are many versions about the origin of the colours of the uniform. The most commonly accepted version is that Luis Robledo, one of the founders of the Independiente Santa Fe who was educated in England, was a fan of Arsenal, thus gives the team the red and white, which from 1941 became symbol of the club.

Although historically the uniform of Santa Fe has been red and white, the club has used other colors in its uniform.

Stadium

Main article: Estadio El Campín
Estadio El Campín on 13 September 2011

The stadium Nemesio Camacho, also known as El Campín, located in Bogotá, is the venue where Independiente Santa Fe plays their home games. Its capacity is 36,343.[5] Santa Fe's supporters traditionally tend to sit in the southernmost half of the stadium.

El Campín was inaugurated on August 10, 1938 at 57th Street with 30, having started its construction in 1935 on the initiative of the mayor of Bogotá, Jorge Eliecer Gaitán. The structure was handled by the German engineer Frederick Leder Müller. The stadium was designed to hold 10,000 spectators. The opening match was held in the 1938 Bolivarian Games, facing the Colombia national football team and the Ecuador national football team, with a 2–1 defeat for the local team.

In 1951, the year that Santa Fe begins to use it to its home games, the stadium expanded its capacity to 39,000 spectators. The second extension of El Campín occurred in 1952 with a dramatic transformation. The total capacity changed to 62,500 spectators, but was limited to 48,000 for security. The last major modification was made for the qualifiers matches for the 2010 World Cup in South Africa and for the 2011 FIFA U-20 World Cup.

Other grounds that have been used by Independiente Santa Fe for their home games have been: the Estadio Alfonso López Pumarejo, its first ground, the Estadio Municipal Los Zipas and the Estadio Luis Carlos Galán Sarmiento.

Supporters and rivalries

Santa Fe fans in the Estadio El Campín, holding the seventh largest soccer flag of South America.[6]

In the late 90's, the most notorious Barra brava of Santa Fe, La Guardia Albi-Roja Sur (White-Red South Guard) was created. It was one of the first fan-led organizations in Colombia that was fully formalized. In 2005, La Guardia Albirroja Sur made one of the largest soccer team's flag in the world. The flag, named the Lienzo de Fe was 350 meters long and 38 meters high, covering the southern end of the Estadio El Campín, the half of the stadium, where the team's fans locate in home games.

Clásico Capitalino

Santa Fe have a fierce rivalry with intercity team Millonarios FC, who also play in the same stadium as them. During this match Millonarios fans ubicate themselves in the northern part of the stadium much like Santa Fe's in the south.

Honours

As of 10 December 2015, Santa Fe has won 1 Copa Sudamericana trophy, 1 Copa Simon Bolivar, 8 Primera A titles, 2 Superliga titles and 2 Copa Colombia trophies.
