Municipal Grecia is an association football club based in Grecia, Costa Rica. Founded in 1998, the club will make their debut in the Liga FPD after being promoted from the Liga de Ascenso.
The team plays in the Estadio Allen Riggioni.
History
In 1998, the people from Grecia, led by former deputy Everardo Rodríguez, decided to give the people of the canton a new sports option. Feeling the need of having an own football club which competed in a non-amateur level. Having taken over the franchise of American FC, the club was founded on 16 August 1998. The club made its debut on 13 September 1998 by drawing 2–2 with Puriscal FC.
During its first decade, the team won the 2007 Apertura Championship in the Costa Rican Liga de Ascenso. On mid-2017 the club, managed by former Saprissa and Costa Rica captain Walter Centeno, defeated Jicaral to win the 2017 Clausura tournament, thus qualifying to a promotion play-off. Grecia would defeat Jicaral again to achieve the promotion to the Liga FPD for the first time.
Grecia har en lång historia i costa-ricansk fotboll och har vunnit fyra Segunda División-mästerskap, senast 2016-17. Klubben har även deltagit i Primera División vid flera tillfällen, med sin bästa placering på femte plats 1998-99.
Grecias nuvarande trupp består främst av unga inhemska spelare från staden och dess omgivningar. Laget är känt för sin starka försvarslinje och sin snabba kontringsförmåga.
AD Grecia är en viktig del av idrottskulturen i staden Grecia och har en lojal supporterskara. Klubben har också ett ungdomsakademi som har fostrat många talangfulla spelare genom åren.
