history
The Club de Deportes Temuco SADP was founded on February 22nd, 1960 in Temuco , a city with now about 260,000 inhabitants in the Región de la Araucanía in the Little South of Chile. On March 20, 1965, Deportes Temuco merged with the traditional club CD Green Cross from Santiago de Chile . In its previous history, Green Cross already had a Chilean championship from 1945. After the merger, the club was called Green Cross Temuco until 1984 . In that year, this collaboration ended, Green Cross itself was dissolved and Temucos sports club continued under the name Deportes Temuco .
Also in 1984 Green-Cross Temuco was relegated from the Primera División after having previously only spent a year there. The club had its longest first-class period between 1965 and 1980 with a duration of fifteen years. After relegation in 1984, it took eight years before Deportes Temuco managed to return to the Primera División. From 1992 to 1998 they played in Chile's elite league for six years. After four years of abstinence, they returned to the 2002 season, were again first class until 2005 and since then sank more and more into insignificance. Only two years after relegation to the first division, Deportes Temuco was passed through to the third highest division and missed the return to Primera División B for six years. In 2013, they merged with another club from Temuco, with Unión Temuco, and took over its place in the second division. So Deportes Temuco has been playing in Primera División B again, the second highest soccer league in Chile, since 2013.
