History
In 2009, local businessman Carlos Howden Pascal decided to invest in local second division soccer team A.D. Limonense, shareholders agreed to lease the team and were renamed "Limón FC". In 2010, the team quickly returned to Costa Rica top level division Primera Division.
By June 2011, Carlos Pascal was incarcerated and had his banks accounts frozen. In doing, he compromised the team's financial situation.
In 2013, he was released but his bank accounts were still frozen, Currently some players are receiving bonds as salary until the case is settled. Many players don't only play for Limón for income. Most of them work at the local port and various associated businesses.
Limon FC were dissolved in February 2022 because of debts to the CCSS.
