May 8, 2005 is a fateful day in the history of Aurora FC, since it marks the date on which the Aurinegro team lost the category in the Nacaa LeagueHe started a dream that has lasted two decades: return to the highest category of Guatemalan football.
On Sunday, May 8, 2005, Aurora, the third most winning team in Guatemalaarrived conditioned at the Carlos Salazar son stadium, from Mazatenango, where he would face Suchitepéquez.
His season was not good and a defeat made him lose the category, although there were still some dates to close the championship.
With eight national league titles in its showcases, although the most recent had been won 12 years ago, the descent of a team like Aurora was unthinkable. However, after a series of bad results, the aurinegro picture was between the sword and the wall, and, for its bad fortune, Suchitepéquez proved to be a rival of weight.
The deer fired the military of the National League in a match that ended with a score of 6-4.
The result was sufficient to send to the basement from the accumulated table to a dawn to which neither its titles nor its history had prepared it for that outcome.
Since that tournament, 20 years have passed and, now, the military painting, after a rugged passage through the Second Division and several more seasons in the first, is just 90 minutes from achieving his dream return to the National League.
The promotion match between Aurora and Sacachispas will be held on Saturday, May 31 at 5:00 p.m.at the David Cordón Hichos stadium, in Guastatoya.
The winner will be creditor to get to the maximum circuit of Guatemalan football, while the loser must wait for at least one more year to make his dream come true.
The “military” arrive at this duel with the impulse of having crowned champions of the Clausura 2025 tournament, after beating Deportivo Mictlán in the grand final. However, since the end of the game, both players and coaching staff made it clear that the real goal is: the promotion to the National League.
On the other side, Sacachispas arrives motivated after a solid campaign. The Chiquimula picture failed to keep the title of the opening or the Clausura, but thanks to having reached the final in Opening 2024 he will be able to play the match to ascend to the highest category of Guatemalan football.
