history
The club was founded as a university team in 1901. The first members were students of the Colegio Nacional Ciencias del Cusco . Initially, the club mainly took part in regional championships and competitions. 1973 Cienciano first took part in the national title competitions. As ninth of eighteen they placed themselves in the secured midfield. At that time, eight points were missing for the championship round, and there was still a seven point difference up to the first relegation zone. A solid season followed in the following year. For the 1975 season, however, the team found itself in the table cellar. Third from last, they were lucky that it was decided before the season that only two clubs would be relegated after this season. Two years later, however, the impending decline could no longer be averted. With only six wins from thirty games, the last rank was the consequence. In two relegation games against Deportivo Municipal , the team still had the opportunity to save the disappointing season. After you had won one game and lost the second, a third encounter in a neutral place had to bring the decision. CS Cienciano lost and was finally relegated. Between 1978 and 1983 the team played second class; The return only followed in the 1984 season. In the league, which has since been reformed, it did not do well in the first year after the comeback in the southern zone. In 1986 the club moved into the intermediate round of the championship games, but was eliminated in the first round against Deportivo Municipal. Three years later, Club Sportivo Cienciano made it to the quarter-finals. After a 2-0 home defeat, the 2-1 win in the second leg against Universitario de Deportes was not enough to advance to the semi-finals. After the renewed Reforma of the league for the 1992 season, Cienciano moved as the sixth of sixteen teams in the qualifying round for participation in the Copa Libertadores . However, the club failed. From then on, CS Cienciano was often close to the top teams in the league. Nevertheless, they mostly stayed behind Alianza Lima , Universitario de Deportes and Sporting Cristal .
As the first and so far only club from Peru, Cienciano won the Copa Sudamericana in 2003 (in the final against River Plate ), the second most important competition in South American club football. In 2004 he won the South American Supercup , the Recopa Sudamericana , with the victory against the Boca Juniors .
The team plays their games in the Estadio Garcilaso de la Vega in Cusco.
