History and development

Since its foundation in the mid-20th century, Comunicaciones has grown into a dominant domestic force.

Over several decades it became a frequent representative for Guatemala in regional competitions, gaining experience on the CONCACAF stage and raising its profile beyond domestic football.

Identity and organisation

Comunicaciones is widely recognised for cream-coloured shirts and the nickname Los Cremas. The club crest, colours and traditions are central to its identity and to multiple generations of supporters.
