History

Founding

On February 7, 2007, Huancaína Sport Club was founded by the initiative of a beer company led by Raúl Rojas and Édgar Araníbar, which purchased the playing rights of Club Escuela de Fútbol Huancayo, who was at that time playing in the Liga Distrital de El Tambo. In 2008, the club changed its name to Sport Huancayo to better identify themselves with the city of Huancayo, where the club is based in.[2]

Copa Perú

Sport Huancayo participated in the Copa Perú, after being promoted from the Liga Distrital de El Tambo and Liga Departamental de Junín in 2008.

In the 2008 Copa Perú, the club got promoted to the 2009 Torneo Descentralizado, the top tier of Peruvian football, for the first time as Copa Perú champion, when it defeated Atlético Torino, Colegio Nacional Iquitos, and Cobresol in the Copa Perú's Final Stage.[3] It was also the first and only time the club won a national title.

In the 2009 Torneo Descentralizado, the club was fourth place and qualified to the 2010 Copa Sudamericana, with the successful coach Cristóbal Cubilla. Sport Huancayo got eliminated in the Second Stage of the Copa Sudamericana by Defensor Sporting of Uruguay.

In the 2011 Torneo Descentralizado, the club finished in third place and qualified to its first Copa Libertadores for the 2012 season. In the 2012 Copa Libertadores, the club was eliminated by Arsenal de Sarandí in the First Stage.[4][5] In the Peruvian tournament the club finished in sixth position, in this way, they managed to qualify for the 2013 Copa Sudamericana. In 2014, the club was saved from relegation after beating Caimanes 1-0 in the relegation play-off.[6]

In 2016, the coach Diego Umaña took charge of the team.[7] In the Copa Sudamericana the club was eliminated in the second round, after losing to Sol de America.[8] Since 2016, the club qualified for every Copa Sudamericana edition up until 2021. In 2018, they eliminated Unión Española in the first stage of the Copa Sudamericana, then they were eliminated by Caracas FC. In the newly created,2019 Copa Bicentenario, Sport Huancayo reached the final and lost to Atlético Grau on penalties. Their best result in the Sudamericana was in 2020, where they reached the Round of 16. In the 2022 season the club placed fourth in the league and qualified for the Copa Libertadores for second time. They got eliminated by Club Nacional of Paraguay in the qualifying stage.
