Internacional Fútbol Club de Palmira is a Colombian professional football team based in Palmira, Valle del Cauca. It was founded on 10 January 2024 and plays in Categoría Primera B, the second-tier competition of Colombian football.
Internacional F.C. was founded by the Martán family after rebranding the club Cortuluá and relocating it to Palmira, Valle del Cauca Department ahead of the 2024 season.
Cortuluá, which had been based in Tuluá, Valle del Cauca, started moving out of its hometown after their relegation from Categoría Primera A at the end of the 2022 season, citing the lack of financial support from successive local administrations. The club first moved to Yumbo, Valle del Cauca,[1] where it played its matches in the 2023 Primera B tournament. Cortuluá originally planned to rebrand to Yumbo Industriales F.C. within six months,[2] but this proposed change did not materialize.
At the end of 2023 Cortuluá requested another change of home stadium, planning to move to Palmira. The request was approved by DIMAYOR on 12 December 2023.[3] The club was ultimately rebranded as Internacional F.C. de Palmira on 10 January 2024.[4]
Internacional F.C. play their home matches at Estadio Francisco Rivera Escobar in Palmira, which has a capacity of 15,300 people. It is shared with Orsomarso, who also play their home matches at this stadium.
