History

Founded in 1998, Pachanga is known for its participation in the 2011 PFF National Men's Club Championship where the club reached the semi-finals round of the competition. In the 2011 season, the club joined the 2011 UFL Cup where the club reached the quarter-finals before a disheartening 1-nil loss to Global F.C.. They then entered the United Football League Division 2 as an expansion club.

The club successfully earned the promotion to the 2013 UFL Division 1 after they won against Agila F.C. on a 4–0 result.

Merger with Diliman F.C.

After the successful 2012 season which the Red Phoenix finished with no loss and one draw in 22 games, the club was sold by their owner to group associated with the Diliman FC. Alfredo Gonzalez cited reasons that it is a family decision to sell the club and since he was too busy with his work. The league announced that the club under new ownership will be named Pachanga Diliman Football Club.
