Chiriquí Fútbol Club was a Panamanian football team that played in the city of David between 1995 and 2002.

History[]

Chiriquí F.C. was founded on 1995 by a group business man from Chiriquí including fellow Colombian Enrique París Villegas. The team earned a spot to play in the ANAPROF season of (becoming the first club of the Chiriquí province to do so) during the time where the Panamanian league was divided between the ANAPROF and . Their home stadium was the Estadio Kenny Serracin in David and it was a baseball stadium, after 1999 they would play their home games in the Estadio San Cristobal of David.

Los lobos played a total of 7 seasons in the ANAPROF before disappearing in 2002. In most of the seasons the team would be placed in the bottom half of the general position (mostly the bottom positions close to relegation). Its best run was in where they qualified for the quarterfinals as 6th in the league, but they lost on aggregate against Árabe Unido. On 2001 the team finished dead last with a poor record (in the Apertura championship they did not win a single game) and were relegated to Primera A. Unfortunately los lobos suffered a severe economical problem and were forced to abandon the championship before it started. Their place in that tournament was bought by Denis Arce and his newly founded team Atlético Chiriquí who recruited most of the players from the Chiriquí F.C. squad for that championship.
