History
Vida was founded on 14 October 1940 with the name of Salvavida by Gregorio Ramos, José Lamelas and Valentín Vásquez. The name Salva Vida was initially put by Salvador Vacaro and Vicente D' antoni, founders of the brewery Cervecería Hondureña, S.A. The initial colors of the team were Red, White and Blue, but in recent times only red and white are used. The Club Salva Vida started when Gregorio Ramos decided to separate from the board of directors of Club Deportivo Atlántida and to form his own team. At that time the team Salva Vida was part of the League Dionisio de Herrera.
Later the soccer club was just called Vida in honor of Mrs. Vida Code de Castañeda. The story tells that during a walk that the executives and players were carrying out, Mrs. Vida, who did not know how to swim, fell into the water. Then Mr. Gregorio Ramos ask for aid with the phrase “un salvavida para Vida” (a lifesaver for Mrs. Vida) and from that afternoon and on the club has been referred to as Vida, since Cervezería Hondureña did not permit that they continued to use the name of their product.
