Team Info
Unión Magdalena is a historic Colombian football club hailing from the coastal city of Santa Marta. They currently compete in the Colombian Torneo BetPlay Dimayor, the second division, with ambitions of returning to the top flight. The team plays its home matches at the iconic Estadio Eduardo Santos, a venue steeped in tradition. Founded in 1951, the club is famously known as *El Ciclón Bananero* (The Banana Cyclone), a nod to the region's banana trade. Their greatest achievement was winning the Colombian Primera A championship in 1968, a title that cemented their place in national football history. The club has produced legendary figures like Carlos "El Pibe" Valderrama, who began his career here. After periods of financial difficulty and relegation, the modern era has seen a concerted effort to rebuild. The club enjoys a fervent and loyal fanbase along the Caribbean coast, whose passion never wavers. Unión Magdalena represents more than a football team; it is a symbol of the identity and pride of the Magdalena region.
