San Agustín is a Peruvian football club, located in the city of Lima. The club was founded on August 9, 1970, with the name of club San Francisco, later was renamed Huracán Agustín and finally received its final name after becoming sponsored by the Colegio San Agustin.

History

Early Years

Club Deportivo San Agustín was founded on August 9, 1970, under the name Club San Francisco in the San Eugenio neighborhood of the Lince.

In 1972, the club was initially renamed Huracán San Francisco after relocating its headquarters to the district of San Isidro. In 1981, they competed in the Liga Mayor de Fútbol de Lima, finishing as runners-up.

In 1983, they acquired Huracán San Isidro and took part as an invited team in the 1983 Peruvian Segunda División under the name Huracán San Agustín, finishing second behind Unión González Prada.

From 1984 onward, the club adopted its definitive name, Club Deportivo San Agustín, after coming under the sponsorship of San Agustín School, led by Father Cesáreo Fernández de las Cuevas, who was the architect behind one of the most remarkable teams in the history of Peruvian football.

Promotion to the First Division

In 1984, they were unsuccessful in the Segunda División. However, that same year the 1984 Intermedia was created. Based on their league position, they competed in the Intermedio “B” group and advanced to the Promotion Playoff (Liguilla de Promoción), where they secured one of the two available promotion spots.

First Division

The club was the 1986 Torneo Descentralizado champion, when it defeated Alianza Lima in the finals.[1][2][3]

The club has played at the highest level of Peruvian football on twelve occasions, from 1985 Torneo Descentralizado until 1996 Torneo Descentralizado, when it was relegated.[4]

Revival

After 13 years of inactivity, the club returned to competition on January 11, 2011, under the name Asociación Deportiva San Agustín. They entered the Liga Distrital de Lince, winning the 2011 title and qualifying for the Interligas de Lima, where they were eliminated by Juventud América.

In 2012, San Agustín once again won the Liga Distrital de Lince and advanced to the Interligas qualifying rounds, but were knocked out by Atlético Tornado in the fourth phase of the Interligas. For the 2015 season, the club were crowned Liga Distrital de Lince champions again and qualified for the Interligas de Lima. They competed in the first phase but were eliminated by the other teams in their group: Social Pacífico, Juventud Santa Rosa, and ADC Jungla.

They won the 2016 Liga Distrital de Lince title, securing qualification for that year’s Interligas. After defeating Real Club de Lima 4–0, they reached the fourth phase, where they were eliminated in the group stage by Cultural Progreso.

For the 2017 season, the club chose not to participate, as the Liga Distrital de Lince was being held in a different district of the capital, far from its traditional base. Since then, the club has not competed in official tournaments.
