History

The club was founded in the Rímac District by workers from the Inca Cotton Mill textile factory in the Malambo neighborhood. [3] It was the first club established in the bajopontino districts and one of the founding members of the Peruvian Football League. It competed in the Peruvian First Division from 1912 to 1921, winning the league championship in 1920. In the years that followed, it took part in the promotion divisions. It was one of the few Lima-based teams to defeat Sport Alianza during the latter’s peak years.

In 1970, the club won the Liga de Lima and qualified for the promotion round-robin to the Second Division alongside Santiago Barranco, Defensor San Borja and Atlético Chalaco, with the latter emerging as champions and securing promotion. The club ceased to exist in 1992 after failing to take part in that year’s Second Division tournament of the Liga Distrital del Rímac. [4]
