Cortulua U20

Cortuluá was founded in 1967 by a group of people headed by Paraguayan former player and coach Hernando Acosta, and entered Categoría Primera B for its first season in 1991. In 1993, Cortuluá won its first title in the Categoría Primera B, being promoted to the Primera A for the following year. Its first game in the top flight was on 26 February 1994 at the Estadio Hernando Martinez Azcárate of nearby Buga against Envigado.

In the 2001 Copa Mustang Cortuluá won the Torneo Apertura (which at that time did not yet award a championship) and qualified for the 2002 Copa Libertadores. However, in 2004 the team were relegated to the Categoría Primera B.

In 2006, the United States Treasury identified the football club as one of ten businesses allegedly operating on behalf of one of the most wanted Colombian drug barons, Carlos Alberto Renteria Mantilla. The move by the United States authorities placed a freeze on any assets owned by the club within the United States, and prevented United States residents from having dealings with the club. Cortuluá was removed from the Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons List (also known as the Clinton List) on 24 May 2012.

After five years in the Categoría Primera B, the club was promoted back to the Categoría Primera A in 2009. Cortuluá qualified for the final of the "Torneo Apertura", surpassing Deportes Palmira, Deportivo Rionegro, and Atlético Bucaramanga in Group A of the semi-finals. In the final instance against Itagüí Ditaires, the first leg ended 3–1 with a win for Cortuluá, but it lost 2–0 in the second leg. In the penalty shootout Cortuluá won 6–5, thus winning the "Torneo Apertura" and qualifying to the Final of the year, where Cortuluá defeated Atlético Bucaramanga and returned to the top tier for the following season.

In the 2010 season, the team were relegated again and returned to the second division, where they played for four seasons until the 2015 season, when they were once again promoted in a special tournament played to increase the size of the Categoría Primera A to 20 teams. They came on top of Group B, ahead of Unión Magdalena, pre-tournament favorites América de Cali, and Deportivo Pereira and thus earned promotion for the 2015 season. In 2016, its reserve team placed third in the U-20 Copa Libertadores. On the final matchday of the first round of the 2017 Torneo Finalización, Cortuluá were once again relegated to the Primera B, after losing 2–1 to Once Caldas in Manizales with a last-minute goal.

After four years in the second tier, Cortuluá were able to return to Primera A at the end of the 2021 season, winning their semi-final group to clinch one of the two promotion spots. However, they were immediately relegated back to Primera B after a poor campaign that saw them end in last place of the relegation table of the 2022 Primera A. Their relegation was confirmed on 16 October 2022, following a 1–0 home defeat to Deportes Tolima.

Following the team's relegation from Primera A, the club's owner Ignacio Martán announced his intention to move Cortuluá out of its hometown, citing the lack of financial support from successive local administrations. On 14 December 2022 the General Assembly of DIMAYOR approved Cortuluá's proposal to move their home matches from Tuluá to Yumbo, Valle del Cauca Department, starting from 2023. The team played its matches in the 2023 Primera B tournament in Yumbo, planning to rebrand to Yumbo Industriales F.C. within six months, however, this proposed change did not materialize.

At the end of 2023 Cortuluá requested another change of home stadium, planning to move to Palmira. The request was approved by DIMAYOR on 12 December 2023. The club was ultimately rebranded as Internacional F.C. de Palmira on 10 January 2024.
