history
The association Corporacion de Deportes Melipilla was founded on January 24, 1992 in the city of Melipilla , which now has a little over 60,000 inhabitants in the Región Metropolitana de Santiago in central Chile . The newly founded club began to play its home games at the Estadio Municipal Roberto Bravo Santibáñez , which has space for 6,500 spectators. The stadium was built in 1942 and previously served as a home for other Melipilla clubs, some of which can also be regarded as predecessor clubs to Deportes Melipilla.
Deportes Melipilla only needed a year to make it to the Primera División for the first time . As second in Primera División B succeeded in the second division season in 1992, the jump into the first division, but there the club overtook the direct relegation. As a result, it was not until 2005 that Deportes Melipilla found back in the Primera División. Previously, they had secured promotion through the championship in Primera División B 2004. But again, the first class in Melipilla did not last long, because in the first year after returning to the top division, they were relegated from it. At that time, Deportes Melipilla was a real elevator team, because as a relegated team, you rose again immediately in the Primera División B 2006. And this time the team was able to secure relegation for the first time in a first division season. After tenth place in the 2007 season, however, the playing time was again less edifying and relegation to the second division followed.
Then things went steeply downhill for Deportes Melipilla. Relegation to the second division was soon followed by the Segunda División Profesional, the third highest division in Chilean football. Even in the Tercera División, the fourth division, it went for one season. Melipilla has now stabilized in the Segunda División Profesional and is currently in the midfield of the league.
