Club de Deportes Temuco is aChileanfootball club based inTemuco,Araucanía Region. It currently plays in theChilean Primera División B, holding home games at the newEstadio Municipal Germán Becker.
The club was founded on February 22, 1960, asDeportes Temuco and again on March 20, 1965, after a merger withGreen Cross. Until 1984, the club was known asGreen Cross – Temuco, and, in 2007, changed its name toDeportivo Temuco, only on that season.
In 2013, the club merged withUnión Temuco, but the name of Deportes Temuco was kept, along with the logo and traditional white and green colors, making it seem as Deportes Temuco absorbing Unión rather than a fusion. Thanks to the fusion though, Deportes Temuco left theSegunda División and returned to Primera B for season 2013–14, using Unión Temuco's place in that league.
Deportes Temuco's current stadium is theEstadio Municipal Germán Becker, a renovated 18,500 football stadium located at the "Pablo Neruda" street inTemuco, leased from Temuco City Municipality since 1965.
Deportes Temuco have also used other grounds during their history;
TheEstadio Liceo de Hombres de Temuco, was Deportes Temuco's home from 1963 until the end of the 1964 season.[citation needed]
The club had also played their official home games at theEstadio Municipal deGorbea &Estadio Municipal deLautaro when the G. Becker Stadium was re-built, in 2008.
In 2011 due to the poor condition of the G. Becker Stadium, the club had look again for an alternative stadium to play their home matches; this time D. Temuco played at theEstadio Pueblo Nuevo de Temuco
In 2015 the G. Becker Stadium went on to repairs again, in this occasion, in order to receive the Copa America's games in perfect condition. This time theEstadio Municipal de Villarrica and theEstadio Municipal deVictoria, were the "albi-verdes" choice to play their home matches. They also played one Copa Chile 2015 home game at theEstadio Alberto Larraguibel de Angol.[citation needed]
