history

The association Deportivo Ñublense SDAP was founded on August 20, 1916 in the city of Chillán , which now has a little over 160,000 inhabitants in the Región del Bío-Bío in central Chile . In the early days, the club used a sports field in the city as its home base, and it wasn't until 1961 that the Estadio Nelson Oyarzún was built as a real stadium for the team. It is named after Nelson Oyarzún , a former coach who was very popular in the club. Since a renovation in 2008, the stadium, which was converted according to modern standards, offers space for 12,000 spectators.

Deportivo Ñublense can only boast a handful of seasons in the highest Chilean football league, the Primera División , in its history . After many years in regional football, the first leap into professional football was not made until the early 1960s, when they made their debut in Primera División B, Chile's second division. In the second highest division of the narrow country you found Deportivo Ñublense until 1976, before they finished in first place with one point ahead of fellow promoted O'Higgins Rancagua and thus made the leap into the Primera División for the first time in the club's history. There Deportivo Ñublense was able to secure relegation as thirteenth. In the following year, the first division newcomer managed to stay in the league with fifteen place, even if this time it was much happier. After the end of the regular season you had to play playout games against relegation, but won them against Coquimbo Unido and thus stayed in the first division. In 1979, however, the time had come when Deportivo Ñublense had to return to the Primera División B after three years of first-class performance. Previously, in the 1979 first division season, they finished last with just nineteen points from 34 games. As a relegated team, they finished second in the 1980 second division, only behind San Luis de Quillota, and managed to return directly to the top tier of Chilean football. There Deportivo Ñublense overtook in the 1981 season, however, with 16th place and just ten points reached the direct relegation.

After relegation from the Primera División 1981 Deportivo Ñublense was subsequently passed through to the Tercera División, Chile's third division, and spent the next two decades in constant shuttle operation between the second and third division. It was not until the early 2000s that the club was able to re-establish itself in the upper areas of Primera División B and even managed to return to the Primera División for the 2007 season. In this one ended his first season since 1981 on a surprisingly strong seventh place, which meant more than certain relegation. This seventh place is to this day Deportivo Ñublense's best placement in the top Chilean football league. The club has been playing in the Primera División since 2007 and has really established itself in this for the first time in the club's history. In the 2008 season , Ñublense also had his first international participation at all, when it took part in the Copa Sudamericana as a representative of Chile . Here, however, the end came in the first round against Club Sport Áncash from Peru .
