Alianza F.C. is a professional soccer club based in Panama City, Panama. Since 1999, it competes in Liga Panameña de Fútbol, the top tier of Panamanian football. The club was founded in 1963, and still owned by the Cardenas family. 
History.
"Alianza F.C." was founded on March 2, 1963 by a group of 12 young players that had represented Panama in the first CONCACAF Youth Championship. That date makes them the second oldest club in modern Panamanian soccer.
The club was supported by various benefactors such as the local police, Don Justiniano Cardenas, and the Espivak Company during its early decades. 
In 1980, the club was chosen among other eight clubs to participate in the first professional soccer league in Panama, which was called the "Liga Superior de Fútbol de Panamá".
As of 1989, the club joined to Anaprof's non-amateur football tournaments, which was interrupted by the disunity that arose in the local football environment, and was forced to compete in the so-called Linfuna League. After two seasons, the club returned to the Primera A of ANAPROF, where won promotion two seasons afterwards after beating Atletico Guadalupe 1–0. In 2003, they enjoyed their best season ever, reaching the Clausura finals before losing 5-1 to Tauro FC.
The club has always placed a strong emphasis on youth teams, competing at the U-12, U-14, U-15, U-16, and U-19 levels.

By 2012 the team start playing home matches at Luis "Cascarita" Tapia stadium looking to gain more fan support from the Juan Diaz neighborhood, Panama City´s east side.
