Xelajú

The club was founded in 1928 as Germania; after ten years of existence, their name would be changed to ADIX (Asociación Deportiva Independiente de Xelajú), and during that time the uniform colors were established as red jersey and blue shorts, a combination that remains to date. The team was renamed Xelajú Mario Camposeco in honor of local footballer Mario Camposeco who was the captain of the club in the 1940s, helped them win 10 consecutive Quetzaltenango department titles, and who was still an active player when he died in a plane crash in 1951.

The Superchivos have been Guatemalan champions seven times, in 1961–62, 1980, 1995–96, 2006–07, 2011–12, 2022-23, and 2024. Xelajú has won the Copa Centenario once, in 1972–73. In the 2007 Clausura tournament, they eliminated five-time defending champion Municipal in semi-finals, to reach their first final since the inception of the Apertura/Clausura format. They faced Marquense, losing the first match 0–1 and winning the second match 4–1, for an aggregate score of 4–2 which gave them their fourth championship. It was the first time since 1980 that two teams from outside of Guatemala City finished first and runner-up. The club currently has a kit deal with Spanish-based company Kelme. Past kit sponsors include Joma, Lotto, Vicnar, Puma, MR, Reto Sports, and Do More.

They have a fierce rivalry with Suchitepéquez, which is known as the Clásico del Suroccidente, one with Marquense known as the Clasico de Occidente, and inner department rivals Coatepeque known as the Derbi de Quetzaltenango. Their other known rivalry also consist of Antigua and a fierce rival with Comunicaciones which is known as El Clasico del Oeste.
