The club's transformation began mainly in 2007, with the arrival of a group of entrepreneurs led by Michel Deller. This marked a change in management and a shift in investments towards infrastructure, talent acquisition, and player development. Independiente del Valle has since built a modern training centre and the Estádio Banco Guayaquil, while also professionalising various departments within the club.
The club's focus on developing young players has been a key aspect of their success. They maintain a school within their training centre for junior players and provide physical and psychological support to their athletes. The methodology of player development has also been influenced by European standards, with the club hiring foreign professionals to standardise concepts from the youngest age groups to the professional team.
Independiente del Valle's growth has been accompanied by impressive results on the pitch. The club reached the Libertadores final in 2016, won the Copa Sul-Americana in 2019 and 2022, and lifted the Recopa Sul-Americana in 2023, defeating Flamengo in the process. The club has also accumulated national titles and increased its presence in the Libertadores.
