Club Deportivo Independiente Juniors is a football club based in the city of Sangolquí, Ecuador, and is a reserve team of the top-flight club Independiente del Valle. They compete in the Campeonato Serie B. The team plays its home matches at the Estadio Municipal General Rumiñahui, wearing the blue and white colors of their parent club. Founded as a direct feeder team, their history is intrinsically linked to the meteoric rise of Independiente del Valle's first team. While they cannot be promoted to Serie A, they serve the critical purpose of developing players for the senior squad, which has won the Copa Sudamericana and reached the Copa Libertadores final. Their presence in Serie B ensures young talents gain experience in a highly competitive professional environment. The current Independiente Juniors squad is typically filled with the academy's brightest prospects, playing the same possession-based, high-pressing style as the first team. They are consistently one of the strongest sides in Serie B, often challenging for the title despite the promotion restriction. The team is a fundamental pillar of one of South America's most successful youth models, a proving ground for future stars.
