history
The Club Deportivo Palestino association was founded on August 20, 1920 by immigrants from Palestine . For the first time in a competition, the club took part in a tournament in Osorno . In the years that followed, CD Palestino did not make any major appearances. 1953 succeeded for the first time promotion to the Primera División , the top division in Chilean football. Only two years later, CD Palestino won its first national championship when in the Primera División first place was occupied by ten points ahead of second-placed Unión Española . In the very first season in the top division of Chile, the club was second behind record champions CSD Colo-Colo . Overall, Palestino finished three more times in second place in the Primera División. The championship title could only be won one more time. In the 1978 season they finished first with four points ahead of CD Cobreloa . With this title win, CD Palestino was qualified for the second time in a row for the Copa Libertadores , the most important competition for club teams in South America. At the 1979 tournament, the club survived the first group stage and only failed in the second group stage in a group with Club Olimpia from Paraguay's capital Asunción and Guarani FC from Brazil . Reaching the second group stage in the 1979 Copa Libertadores is CD Palestino's greatest success at international level to this day. Since then, the club's successes have been limited, they rose several times to the Primera División B and soon afterwards again. CD Palestino is currently playing in the Primera División, where they took eleventh place and thus a midfield position in the past season (2010).
