La Equidad was founded in 1982 by its namesake company
Seguros La Equidad, and immediately after its foundation it entered the Olaya Tournament, a traditional amateur football tournament in Bogotá. La Equidad's first appearance in the 1982–83 edition of the tournament was supported by
Independiente Santa Fe, which loaned a manager and several players of their youth ranks to take part in the competition, which was ultimately won by them. In 1993, La Equidad was officially constituted as an amateur club and joined the Bogotá Football League (
Liga de Fútbol de Bogotá), entering the
Categoría Primera C as well as the different youth tournaments organized by the regional amateur football league. In 2003, La Equidad turned into a professional club and changed its name to
Club Deportivo La Equidad, joining
DIMAYOR and entering the Colombian second tier competition
Categoría Primera B. In their first participation in Primera B, they made it to the semi-finals after an eighth place finish in the regular season. La Equidad earned promotion to
Categoría Primera A by winning the Primera B tournament in 2006 with
Alexis García as manager. The
Aseguradores won both of the tournaments making up the
2006 Primera B season, clinching their promotion as well as the second tier championship on 4 November 2006 after a 1–1 draw with
Centauros at the
Estadio Manuel Calle Lombana in
Villavicencio. They got their first victory in the top tier in the ninth round of the tournament, a 2–0 win over
Real Cartagena on 25 March. Thanks to this title as well as its consistent performances in its first two seasons in the top tier, La Equidad came to be among the top 100 football clubs in the world according to the rankings of the International Federation of Football History and Statistics (
IFFHS) in 2009. La Equidad made it to their second final series in the
2010 Apertura tournament, facing
Junior. Although they won the first leg played in Bogotá 1–0 with a goal by Peruvian footballer
Renzo Sheput, they were unable to hold on to this advantage and in the return leg in
Barranquilla they capitulated by a 3–1 score with which Junior won the title and La Equidad had to settle for another runner-up finish. On 15 January 2025, it was reported that 99% of the club had been acquired by the American-based consortium Tylis–Porter Group, led by real estate investor Al Tylis and
Club Necaxa executive Sam Porter, and also backed by actors
Eva Longoria,
Ryan Reynolds, and
Rob McElhenney (the latter two co-owners of
Wrexham A.F.C.) as well as
MLB pitcher
Justin Verlander and his wife, model
Kate Upton, and NYU professor and entrepreneur
Scott Galloway. Talks to purchase the club started in the second half of 2024, with the takeover being finalised in early 2025. According to the terms of the operation, in which the former owners Seguros La Equidad decided to keep the symbols, colors and identity to themselves, the club would change its name and colors by January 2026, with the
2025 season being the last one the club played as La Equidad. The club's last match under that name was played on 12 November 2025, in which it defeated
Deportivo Pereira 4–0 at
Estadio Metropolitano de Techo. In its final season in Categoría Primera A, La Equidad placed last in the aggregate table. On 10 December 2025,
Internacional de Bogotá was presented as the new club that replaced La Equidad. ==Honours==
