Atlético Venezuela

Atlético Venezuela was a professional football club based in Caracas, founded on 23 July 2009 by Almirante Franklin Zeltzer, and its home ground was the Estadio Brígido Iriarte in the El Paraíso neighbourhood. The club won the Segunda División Venezolana and its Torneo de Clausura in 2009–10 and again in 2011–12, earning promotion to the Primera División in both seasons, though it was relegated back to the second tier at the end of 2010–11. Its first colours were orange and black, but after a change of owners the club adopted blue and red, the colours of the Ejército Bolivariano. In 2010 it won its first title through a penalty shoot-out against Caracas FC, and it later reached the quarter-finals of the Copa Venezuela in 2012 and qualified for the Copa Sudamericana in 2017. The club disappeared institutionally at the end of 2022.
