109. C.D. Águila

We're joined by Steven Torres and journalist Rodrigo Arias to talk about the history, heritage and identity of one of El Salvador's biggest football clubs - C.D. Águila.

Founded in 1926, C.D. Águila became the representative football club of eastern El Salvador and the people who call that region home.

We cover the founding of the club, their golden era when they won the CONCACAF Champions' Cup, and the impact conflict has had on football in El Salvador.
