During the 1930s, España F.C. competed in the central zone soccer tournament that was held by the Salvadoran Sports Commission (Comisión Nacional de Educación Física) as Deportivo 33 (C.D. 33). They won two national tournament finals in 1937 (3–1 vs. C.D. Alacranes) and in 1938 (10–3 vs. C.D. Maya).[1] In 1938, C.D. 33 won the central zone in El Salvador. Since there was no official national tournament held that year, this central region zone title is considered a national title. On 30 August 1940, Deportivo 33 renamed and rebranded themselves as Atletico Espana. In 1940, España F.C. won the central zone tournament.[2] Since there was no official national soccer tournament in El Salvador that year, this championship is considered as the national title. After 1941, the club dissolved.
