Club Sport Rosario was aPeruvianfootball club, based in the city ofHuaraz. Sport Rosario was founded on October 4, 1965. The team played its home games atRosas Pampa stadium.
Sport Rosario was founded on October 4, 1965 in Nicrupampa, which is part of theIndependencia District of the city ofHuaraz,Ancash by the Mautino Ángeles family. The club's name makes reference toOur Lady of the Rosary who is the patroness saint of Nicrupampa. In 1995 it adopted the colors of the Argentine clubRosario Central.[1]
The club played at the local level for many years. Its first well known campaign happened in the2002 Copa Perú where it reached the departamental stage where it lost the final against theChimbote sideJosé Gálvez.[2] In2004 it would once again reach the departamental stage where they would lose in the semi-finals against that year's eventual championsSport Ancash.[1] In2007, Sport Rosario reached the Regional Stage as departamental runner-up where it was seeded in Group B againstUnión Tarapoto,Deportivo Davy andCarlos A. Mannucci. Unfortunately the club finished last in its group with two victories and four losses.
The club would not reach the final stages of the Copa Perú until2014 where it would reach the National Stage for the first time in its history as the regional runner-up with financial help ofGelacio Mautino. They were eliminated in the round of 16 byDefensor La Bocana. Because of their great campaign and financial stability they were invited to participate in thePeruvian Segunda División for 2015.[3] ThePeruvian Football Federation did not allow Sport Rosario to participate in the tournament.[4] Because of that the club did not participate in any competition in 2015 and presented a case against the Peruvian Football Federation at theCourt of Arbitration for Sport.[5]
In 2016 Sport Rosario started its campaign from theLiga distrital de Huaraz. It won its group with 12 points as well as the final group stage to become the district champion. It also won the Provincial Stage and Departamental Stage in Ancash. In April, the club president and primary financial supporter Gelacio Mautino, died in a car accident.[6] The team reached the first stage of the National Stage of the2016 Copa Perú where it finished 6th of 50 teams by defeating different teams from around Peru.
Sport Rosario defeated Deportivo Venus by a global score of 8-3 in the round of 16. It would also defeat Kola San Martín in the quarter-finals by a global score of 5-3 to reach the final group stage orFinalísima at theEstadio Nacional inLima. In theFinalísima Sport Rosario tied againstDeportivo Hualgayoc 1-1, defeatedEscuela Municipal Binacional 3-2 andRacing de Huamanchuco 2-1 to finish the group with 7 points and therefore winning a place in the2017 Torneo Descentralizado.
The Mautino Family reinforced the team for its debut in the highest flight of Peruvian soccer by hiring Argentine coachGerardo Ameli.[7] Other mediatic signs wereUruguayianforwardPablo Lavandeira,[8] who missed the2017 Copa Libertadores by moving fromDeportivo Municipal, andgoalkeeperSalomón Libman,[9] Peruvian international with 6 caps who was part of the2011 and2015 Copa America third place squads.
Sport Rosario finished second in group A duringTorneo de Verano behindFBC Melgar with 24 points. The highlight of the tournament was that the team went undefeated at home including a victory against the previous year championSporting Cristal. Ameli left the club to sign as coach of Deportivo Municipal[10] and took Pablo Lavandeira with him after the Torneo Apertura. Sport Rosario suffered to balance the team after Lavandeira's leave. Even though it was not able to fight for either the Apertura or Clausura championship it finished 7th in the over-all table with 65 points and thus gain a slot in the2018 Copa Sudamericana.
After their relegation in 2019, the club did not play in the2019 Copa Perú before being dissolved; a new club, namedRosario Fútbol Club, inherited Sport Rosario's history, but also never played professionally.
