Asociación Deportiva Municipal de Pérez Zeledón is a Costa Rican football team playing at the top level in the Primera División de Costa Rica.
It is based in San Isidro de El General. Their home stadium is Estadio Municipal Pérez Zeledón. Their nickname is Guerreros del Sur or The Southern Warriors.
Municipal Pérez Zeledón was founded in 1962 and they reached the Second Division in 1976.[1]
In 1988, Asociación Deportiva Municipal Generaleña won promotion to the Primera Division and in 1991 a second team from Pérez Zeledón, Asociación Deportiva Pérez Zeledón, also clinched the second division title, prompting to merge the teams into Asociación Deportiva Municipal de Pérez Zeledón which would go and represent the canton in the top tier.[1] In 2010, Puma Generaleña was founded as successor to AD Generaleña.[2]
The team were surprise winners of the 2004–05 Apertura in the Primera División, their first and only title so far, under the coaching of Carlos Restrepo against Saprissa defeated them on their own home stadium 0–1.[3] Although, they missed out on the overall championship title, losing against Alajuelense 1–4 on aggregate.[4] The club's top goalscorer that season was Ever Alfaro. Also in the team were William Sunsing and Géiner Segura,[5] who were both part of the Ticos along their path to 2006's World Cup held in Germany.
