Firpo's historical rival is Aguila. The Derby de Oriente (vs Aguila) is the most important game of the season.

The colours were adopted from the Argentinian side San Lorenzo de Almagro, of which Luis Ángel Firpo was a supporter. Overview Club Deportivo Luis Ángel Firpo is the second-oldest club in El Salvador. The club was founded on September 17, 1923, by a group of local citizens. Originally named Tecún Umán, the club was soon renamed in honor of Luis Ángel Firpo, a famous Argentine boxer, who became the first Latin American to fight for the heavyweight championship, knocking Jack Dempsey out of the ring on September 14, 1923. Some of the most prominent players from El Salvador, including Mauricio Cienfuegos and Raúl Díaz Arce, have played for L.A. Firpo. The team has won a total of ten championships, the first coming in 1988–89 and the most recent in the 2013 Clausura. The team plays its home games at Estadio Sergio Torres in Usulután. The team's mascot is the bull, a reference to Firpo, who was known as the Wild Bull of the Pampas.
