For the 2007/08 season, Guaros de Lara bought the former outstanding Colombian World Cup goal-keeper René Higuita, who returned to play football at the age of 41. In 2009 the club was sold in an effort to fight against the other clubs for the championship and changed its name to Club Deportivo Lara.
