History
editBarranquilla F.C. was founded on 8 April 2005 by a group of businessmen led by Arturo Char who considering that Barranquilla did not have a team in the Primera B, decided to give the city a new alternative. The club became a Dimayor member by purchasing the membership rights that formerly belonged to Johann and entered the Categoría Primera B championship immediately afterwards.[1]
Although Barranquilla F.C. has not won any titles in the Primera B, the club is best known for being a feeder team for top tier club Atlético Junior, which is also owned by the Char family.[2] Barranquilla F.C. serves the role of developing and providing playing experience to young players, with talented prospects being later promoted to the main squad of parent club Junior. It has been the starting point for players such as Carlos Bacca, Teófilo Gutiérrez and Luis Díaz, who were promoted to Junior and subsequently continued their careers abroad.[3]
