Club Sport Unión Huaral, more commonly known asUnión Huaral, is aPeruvianfootball club, from the city ofHuaral. It was founded in 1947 and currently competes in thePeruvian Tercera División.
The Club Sport Unión Huaral was founded at the initiative of a group of enthusiastic young men who, meeting at the home of Don Nicolás Pintado, decided to form the neighborhood football team under the name of Club Unión, since most of them lived on Unión Street. This team would compete against teams from neighboring haciendas and neighborhoods.
In 1974, after defeating 17 Lima teams and defeating Deportivo Sider Perú ofChimbote in a third match on neutral ground, they won the Lima-North regional title and thus achieved their long-awaited promotion to thePeruvian Primera División. That year, the usual Copa final was not played, as the number of teams in the decentralized championship was increased from 18 to 22, allowing theCopa Perú champions of each region to be promoted directly.
The club won the First Division for the first time in1976 the second time in1989. They were the first club to take the Peruvian title out of the traditional strongholds ofLima andCallao provinces. They were runners-up in 1974. From winning the First Division, they qualified for theCopa Libertadores in 1975 and 1977, where they were eliminated in the First Round on both occasions.
The club has played at the highest level of Peruvian football on twenty four occasions, from1974 until1991,1993,1995 and from2003 until2006, when it was relegated to thePeruvian Segunda División being relegated in 2007. Unión Huaral won the second division in 1992, 1994 and 2002.
In the2011 Torneo Intermedio, the club was eliminated byDeportivo Municipal in the Round of 16. In 2013, the club had a great campaign in theCopa Perú finishing runner-up, losing the final against San Simon. They were once again promoted to the Peruvian Segunda División. However, they got disqualified during the2024 Liga 2 season, being relegated to thePeruvian Tercera División along withJuan Aurich.[1]
