history
The association was founded on April 22, 1917. In the course of its existence, the footballers won the championship of the Liga de Fútbol de Colonia 24 times . In addition, in 1969, 1993, 1995, 1996, 1997 and 1998 you became masters at the departmental level. This made it the most successful football club in Colonia. In 2000, the club first appeared in the context of Uruguayan professional football. After a short membership in the Segunda División , in 2001, at the end of the year, they were promoted to the Primera División . The intermezzo there did not last long. The club initially finished fifth in the Torneo Clasificatorio , a qualifying tournament for the highest Uruguayan league played from February to May that year, which resulted from group victory in Group C in the Grupo del Interior , where Deportivo Maldonado was left behind. In the subsequent Apertura, they finished eighth out of ten teams. In the Clausura, they came in sixth. The club's most successful goalscorer this season was Mario Leguizamón with 14 goals scored. In the overall season standings, this also resulted in sixth place, which qualified them for the Liguilla Pre-Libertadores . This one ended however as bottom of the table. A qualification for the Copa Libertadores did not come to the climber. In the second first division year they finished 16th in Apertura and Clausura and avoided relegation in the subsequent relegation round only because the Juventuds team turned out to be even weaker. In 2004, when Miguel Ximénez was the most successful scorer in Plaza Colonias, they qualified for Apertura and Clausura, but ultimately finished tenth and last in the overall table.
In 2005, when Uruguayan first division football switched to the European season system with the rounds going back and forth over the turn of the year and therefore an intermediate season was completed, Plaza Colonia was classified as 16th and third from last. Due to the relegation regulation in this intermediate phase, however, the placement in the Torneo Apertura 2005/06 meant that the club had to go into relegation at the end of the year, where the relegation in the two relegation games against CA Cerro sealed by the return goal by Diego Godín on December 18, 2005 has been. Since 2006 Plaza has played in the second highest division of Uruguay, the Segunda División .
There are reports from August 2013 according to which Plaza Colonia did not want to report a team for the Segunda División for one year due to a lack of necessary investors in the upcoming 2013/14 season. In the end, however, you did.
After the team returned to the highest Uruguayan league in the 2014/15 season as second in the table in the Segunda División, they first established themselves there with a 13th place in the Apertura. The second half of the season then ushered in the greatest success in the club's history. The team around coach Eduardo Espinel finished fourth in the overall table, won the Clausura classification and thus secured participation in the finals for the championship. There they were defeated by the Apertura winner Club Atlético Peñarol , who were Uruguayan champions after this first final.
