History
Club Unión Callao was founded in Callao in 1908. In 1942, its president, Luis Zegarra Albarracín, purchased the sporting category of Sportivo Águila, and that same year the club began competing in the Tercera División Regional de Lima y Callao, achieving two consecutive promotions to reach the Primera División Regional de Lima y Callao. In 1945, it won the title in that category and was promoted to the 1946 Peruvian Segunda División.[2]
The club was crowned Second Division champions in 1950, 1952, and 1954[3]. It competed in the Peruvian Primera División in 1951, 1953, and 1955. In the latter year, it was relegated to the Second Division and the following year to the Liga Provincial del Callao. It then played in the First Division of that league until being relegated in 1961, and did not take part in the Segunda División del Callao the following year. In 1963, it competed in the Tercera División del Callao, and after that season, it did not participate in official competitions again.
