The original founders of the team were: Gonzalo Rueda Caro, Luis Robledo, Ernesto Gamboa, Luis Carlos Reyes, Guillermo Escobar, Tulio Gutiérrez, Roberto Haim, Eduardo Lleras, Alfonso Martín, Álvaro Martín, Eusebio de Mendoza, Julián Mendoza, Hernán Mora, Cesar Payan, Rafael Urdaneta y Pablo Valenzuela. Gonzalo Rueda Caro, also founder of the radio station HJCK, was the first president of the club.〔(Santafecito.com (Fan page) - Nace una institución 1939-1941 (in Spanish) )〕 The first championship in which the team joined went to the A.D.B. (Asociación Deportiva de Bogotá) tournament. The team was placed in the second category of the tournament, and played his first match against the ''Legión Militar de los Taxis Rojos'', match that ended in a 3–3 draw. The team finished the tournament as runners-up of the second category.〔 In 1942, Santa Fe was coached by Jack Greenwell, former Barcelona player and coach, notable for having won 3 times the Copa del Rey and the 1939 South American Championship with Peru. That year Santa Fe played in the first division of the A.D.B., which was canceled in the middle of that year. That same year also reached the final of the ''Torneo de Cundinamarca'', which lost against América de Cali. Jack Greenwell died on November 20 of that year. On 21 May 1948 was established in Colombia the DIMAYOR, which would serve to manage Colombian professional football. They agreed to hold the first professional championship for the second half of the year. On August 15, Santa Fe played its first game in the professional championship against Deportes Caldas, match that ended 3–3. Santa Fe finished the league as the first champion of the Colombian first division, winning 12 of 18 games, drew 3 and lost also 3. The team was able to score 57 goals for, and received 29 against.
