history
The football club Club Deportivo San Marcos de Arica was founded on February 14, 1978 in the city of Arica , which now has almost 200,000 inhabitants in northern Chile near the border with Peru . The newly established association was initially named Deportes Arica , which it kept until 2005, before it was renamed to today's San Marcos de Arica . The club has the Estadio Carlos Dittborn at its disposal as a venue , which currently only has space for almost 10,000 spectators, but has a great history. The stadium was one of only four that hosted the 1962 World Cup in Chile . The choice fell on Arica because of its proximity to Peru, whereby the organizers expected that the Peruvian team would qualify for the soccer World Cup, which then did not happen. Thus, Arica was a World Cup venue in 1962, without any notable club from the city at all. One such was only founded in 1978 and played in the second Chilean football league, the Primera División B, from the first year after it was founded. After three years in this division, they reached first place in the second division season in 1981 and rose for the first time in the club's young history Chile’s highest football league, the Primera División . There Deportes Arica was able to hold for four years and reached an unexpectedly strong fourth place in the table during this time in the 1984 season. Only a year later, however, was relegated to the Primera División B.
In that league you found Deportes Arica from 1986 to 2005, before you were only third class for the first time. Along with relegation to the third division, the name was changed to San Marcos de Arica . Two years after relegation from Primera División B, San Marcos de Arica managed to return to the second highest Chilean division. 2012 succeeded then even after 27 years back promotion to the Primera División when they won the first place in La Liga and B together with ñublense and Everton de Viña del Mar rose. Back in the first division, however, you could only collect two wins and three draws, the rest were all defeats. The result was the direct relegation as the penultimate only before CD Cobresal , but as the last in the relegation table. Since the Apertura 2013 CD San Marcos de Arica has been playing in the Primera División B again.
