Club Deportivo Social Cultural Somos Olímpico
Peruvian football club
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Club Deportivo Social Cultural Somos Olímpico is a Peruvian football club located in the district of Santiago de Surco, Lima.
History
Founded on 27 July 1972, as Olímpico San Luis, the club reached the Peruvian Second Division in 2000 and changed its name to Olímpico Somos Perú. It won the Second Division championship twice in a row in 2004 and 2005 but was unable to gain promotion to the First Division due to regulations that prevented the Second Division champion from being directly promoted to the First Division.[1]
In 2006, it briefly merged with Aurora Miraflores and played under the name Olímpico Aurora Miraflores. In 2007, it relocated to Iquitos and played its final season in the Second Division as Loreto FC. In 2008, the club sold its license to Inti Gas (now Ayacucho FC) and ceased operations.[1]
At the end of 2008, the club was reactivated under its current name (CDSC Somos Olímpico) and plays in the Santiago de Surco district league.
