Club Social y Deportivo Escuintleca, also known as Juventud Escuintleca, is a Guatemalan football club based in Escuintla, Escuintla Department. They play their home games in the Estadio Armando Barillas. The club won its promotion to the top league after winning 2 first division titles in a row. Immediately after the club won the promotion, the owner decided to fire most of the team, including the coach, except the 2 captains Mario Archila and Abner Lara, two young players recently hired by the new management. Bad ownership has led to a last place standing in the current season. The club owner once again fired 5 of its players after a 4–0 defeat to Guatemalan heavyweight CSD Municipal, which resulted in a 6th player quitting in protesta.[1]
