history
The Club Deportivo San Luis association was founded on December 8, 1919 in the city of Quillota , now with a little less than 70,000 inhabitants in the Región de Valparaíso in central Chile . The founding fathers were a group of students from the local university. The name of the newly founded club is also derived from this university, it comes from the founder of the university, the religious brother Luis.
The first decades of its existence San Luis de Quillota spent more as an amateur team of the university in the lower divisions of Chilean club football. It was not until 1955 that a first place in Primera B, one point ahead of Unión La Calera, made it possible for the first time to jump into the Primera División , Chile's first soccer league. There you could secure the league in the first year with twelfth place. The following year, however, they were bottom of the table with only seventeen points from 26 games and were relegated to the second division. This dominated San Luis de Quillota, however, and after the end of all game days was six points ahead of Santiago Morning in first place. This ensured the direct return to the Primera División. Back in the premier league, the club managed to stay there for nine years, the longest period of excellence in the club's history. From 1959 to 1967 San Luis de Quillota played uninterruptedly in the Primera División and achieved his best placement ever in the top Chilean division with tenth place. After that, however, relegation battle was announced in Quillota year after year, from which the club emerged successfully for a long time. It was not until 1967 that the transition back to the second class had to be started. They finished last in the Primera División, one point behind Unión La Calera and were relegated.
From 1968, San Luis de Quillota sat down in Primera B and was only able to make promotion to the Primera División again in 1980. However, relegation to the second division followed immediately after a year. From 1984 to 1987, the club had another four years of excellence, which should represent the team's last period in the Primera División for a long time. 1986 succeeded with tenth place also the setting of the 1959 placement record in the first division. A year later, however, San Luis de Quillota played a miserable season and got a meager fourteen points in thirty games, which with a gap of eleven points to the Rangers de Talca clearly meant last place and thus relegation from the Primera División.
From this descent, San Luis de Quillota was unable to recover. This was followed for many years for the club not only in Primera B, but also in the third, fourth and even fifth highest division in Chile. It was not until 2009 that he was promoted to the Primera División. In relegation games, San Luis prevailed against league rival CD Santiago Wanderers and after 23 years ensured the return to the highest level of Chilean club football. However, they did not really know how to convince there and were relegated after only one year. San Luis only managed to get 24 points. Thus missing already ten points to second-bottom to Everton de Vina del Mar . Since then, San Luis de Quillota has been part of Primera División B, Chile's second division.
