History Atlético Huila Femenino was formed in 2016. The División Mayor del Fútbol Profesional Colombiano (Dimayor) announced in early 2016 that there would be a professional women's football league in Colombia. However, it was not until 20 October of the same year that the official launch of the championship took place in Cartagena. Atlético Huila Femenino was officially presented in October 2016 in the city of Neiva. The club agreed to the dispute of the Colombian professional league by making use of its right to participate thanks to having sports recognition from Coldeportes and Dimayor.
The team entered a hiatus starting from 2020, when it withdrew from the domestic league owing to financial reasons. Although they returned to the league for the 2022 season, the team did not enter the league since 2024 as the club's owners opted to focus on the men's and youth teams.
