history
The association was founded on February 29, 1966 in the city of Concepción near the west coast of Chile . The new club came about through a merger of a number of amateur clubs from Concepción and formed the first nationally important club from the city. It was not until 1994 that Deportes Concepción faced competition from the CD Universidad de Concepción , which is now more successful than the more traditional Deportes Concepción.
In the first year after the association was founded managed Deportes Concepción by a first place in the Primera División B the rise in Chile's top division in football, the Primera División . There the young club from the economic metropolis established itself immediately and spent every year up to and including the 1981 season in the Chilean football club. In the 1975 season they achieved the greatest success in the club's history to date, when they finished the season as runner-up, only behind Unión Española . Six years later, however, you had to go back to the second division after you had only finished third from last in the Primera División in 1981. This was followed by three years in the second Chilean football league for Deportes Concepción, before returning to the Primera División for the 1985 season. Once again began a rather successful period for the club with the first division promotion, which culminated with the first participation in the Copa Libertadores in 1991 . Here they even survived the group stage in third behind Colo-Colo Santiago and LDU Quito from Ecuador , but before the second Ecuadorian club Barcelona SC Guayaquil . In the round of 16, however, was against the Colombian representative América de Cali .
In the following years it took exactly ten years before Deportes Concepción achieved a second participation in the most important competition for club teams in South American football. And in the 2001 Copa Libertadores you made progress in the group stage. Second behind Nacional Montevideo from Uruguay , but ahead of CA San Lorenzo de Almagro from Argentina and Club Jorge Wilstermann from Bolivia , they qualified again for the round of 16. But the Brazilian ex-title holder from Vasco da Gama Rio de Janeiro was too big a hurdle with 1: 4 after the return leg .
In the league, the club had meanwhile suffered relegation again, but managed to get back up straight away. From 1995 to 2002 they held in the Primera División, before they had to start again in the second division. After two years of the second division, the club had its last time in the Primera División between 2005 and 2008, from which it had to be relegated in the latter season. Nowadays you can find Deportes Concepción in the second-rate Primera División B.
