Comunicaciones origins date 1920s Club Comunicaciones was formed in 1949 after ColonelCarlos Aldana Sandoval, then Minister of Telegraphs and Communications, took charge of the team and renamed it Comunicaciones ("Communications" inSpanish).
The club colour is white, which they began using in their kit shortly after the club's foundation, though initially the uniform was cream. Their historic arch-rival isMunicipal and the two clubs compete in theEl Clásico Chapín, one of the greatest rivalries inGuatemalan football. Their other fierce rivals consist ofAntigua known as theEl Clasico Provincial and a rivalry withQuetzaltenango clubXelajú asEl Clásico del Oeste.
Since its inception, the Albo fans have been composed of the different strata ofGuatemalan society. In the 80s, organized support began to take more momentum, at that time by batons that were located in different sectors of the stadium that were felt with songs, chopped paper, balloons and blankets, marking a different pattern of support from the fans of that time inGuatemalan football.
It was at that time when the nickname of the "Millionaire Fans" was popularly printed by the thousands of fans and fans that the club has throughout the country. Currently the cream fans are the only one in Guatemala who have adopted the type ofSouth American breath in which everyone in the stadium sings in unison giving a unique atmosphere in the stands.
In the early 90s, the first organized support group called Fuerza Crema officially emerged, regularly located in the Preference area of the stadium, becoming the largest in the country with more than 2,500 members.[citation needed] It was until mid-1996 that after several differences between its leaders, the Albos force separated.
Some former members of the old group changed sectors in the stadium forming in the same year thebarra Vltra Svr (Ultra Sur), a name it adopted due to its location in the General South area of the property. This group is characterized by the songs it provides to the team throughout the match, in addition to receptions,flags and walks, something that was not customary inGuatemalan football.
The barra has large blankets, flags, umbrellas, hype with murgas, trumpets, dubbing and a huge hype brought fromChile to encourage the club. In its beginnings the bar even hosted more than 3,000 members in transcendental matches.[citation needed]
