They are the women's football section of Independiente Santa Fe and they currently play in the Colombian Women's Football League, the top level women's football league in Colombia. To date, the club has won three league titles.

Like the institution's male counterpart, who were the first Colombian professional football champion in the 1948 season, the women's team obtained the honor of being the first team to win the Colombian Women's Football League, with their title in the first edition of the competition in 2017.[2]
