History

From 1971 until 2015, Moca FC was the team with the most championships in the now defunct semi-professional football league, Primera División de Republica Dominicana. With 13 titles, Moca was the most popular club in that league. Its province is the "House of the Dominican Football".^{[citation needed]}

In 2015, after the LDF folded, Moca joined the new professional Dominican football league in the first division, Liga Dominicana de Fútbol.

Their classic rivals are Atlético San Cristóbal and Cibao FC.

2023 CONCACAF Caribbean Cup

Moca FC advanced to the Semi-Finals where they defeated S.V. Robinhood in leg 1 but lost in leg 2 in penalties.^[1] This resulted in Moca FC having to fend for title of 3rd place, which would still qualify them for the CONCACAF Champions Cup. On December 5, 2023, Moca FC won on aggregate 3–2 against Harbour View FC,^[2] clinching 3rd place in the 2023 CONCACAF Caribbean Cup. This is the first time Moca FC has ever advanced to the CONCACAF Champions Cup.
