History

Founded in June 1983 as Deportivo Hospital Tomás Casas, the name was changed to Municipal Osa quickly. They won promotion to the Segunda División in 1996 and reached the top flight after 4 more years.[1] They won promotion after beating Municipal Liberia in a championship playoff.[2] Ironically, it was the same Liberia team that beat Osa in May 2003 to send them down to the Segunda División again.[3]

They spent a total of 3 seasons in the Primera División.[4]
