Salcedo Fútbol Club, commonly known as Salcedo FC, is a professional football club based in Salcedo, Dominican Republic. The club was founded in 1992 and made its debut in the Liga Dominicana de Fútbol, the top-tier professional football league in the Dominican Republic, during the 2025-26 season.
History
Salcedo FC was established in 1992. For over a decade, the club operated outside the top professional tier, as the Liga Dominicana de Fútbol (LDF) itself was launched in March 2015. Prior to its LDF debut, Salcedo FC competed in the LDF 2da División Expansión, the country's second division. In the 2024 season, the club finished 5th in the Zona Norte standings, accumulating 18 points from 14 matches, with a record of 6 wins, 0 draws, and 8 losses, and a goal difference of +2.
A significant milestone for the club was its unanimous selection by the LDF board to compete in the 2025-2026 LDF season. This decision was based on the club's "general structures, seating capacity in home games, and history," indicating a recognition of Salcedo FC's operational readiness and suitability for top-tier competition.
Finishing the regular phase of the season with 18 matches played (9 wins, 5 ties, 4 losses), Salcedo ranked 3rd place out of 6 and was able to qualify for the Liguilla phase. Defined by determination and impressive offense led by club favorites like Daniel Jamesley,
Jairo Luis Alegria Flores, and Daniel Flores Salcedo held on to 6 wins, 5 ties, 4 losses with a goal difference of 3. This resulted in the club moving on to the LDF Semi-finals after finishing 3rd in the standings.
