History
[edit | edit source]On 13 April 2021, the club under Honduran coach Hector Medina reached its first Copa Nicaragua and first top tier league final after defeating Deportivo Jalapa 4–3 on penalties after the game ended 1-1 after extra time.[1] The Copa Nicaragua final on 21 October 2021 saw Real Madriz lose 3-1 to Deportivo Walter Ferretti, with Roris Espinoza scoring the lone goal on 57 minutes.[2] However despite almost winning the Copa Nicaragua, the club was relegated from the primera division.
Real Madriz won 2025 Clausura Liga de Ascenso 3-2 defeating Juventus Managua, this allowed the club to be promoted to the first division after a three years absence. [1]
