history
In 1954, Backus and Johnston , British owners of the local brewery, sold the resident company to Peruvian entrepreneurs who decided to set up a football factory club. There was already a football club in the village whose name was Sporting Tabaco . After the club was bought up by the local Cristal brewery , the club was renamed Sporting Cristal. The founding of the new club is dated December 13, 1955. In addition to Universitario de Deportes and Alianza Lima , the club is one of the most popular and successful clubs in Peru. Just one year after it was founded, the team was able to win the national championship.
successes
Her best years were in the 90s when she managed to win the Primera División four times (1991, 1994, 1995 and 1996). The greatest international success to date came in 1997 when the team advanced to the final of the Copa Libertadores . In group four of the preliminary round, they still happily prevailed with two wins and two draws in six games as third in the table and thus moved into the round of the last 16 against the winner of group two, the Argentine representative CA Vélez Sársfield . A 0-0 win in the first leg was followed by a 1-0 win in the second leg. After they had managed to turn the quarter and semi-finals against the Bolivian team Club Bolívar and the Argentinians from Racing Club Avellaneda after defeat in the first leg in the second leg, Sporting Cristal was in the final. Against the Brazilian club Cruzeiro Belo Horizonte they fought 0-0 in the first encounter, but had to break the dream in the second game with a 0-1.

Stadion
The club plays a large part of its home games at the Estadio Alberto Gallardo . The football stadium has a capacity of 18,000 spectators. The sports facility was built in the 1960s. In the first decades it was mainly used by amateur and lower-class teams. It was not until 1995 that Sporting Cristal took on the stadium and renovated it. On September 24, 1995, the club played a game there for the first time. Since then, the association has used it as a home. Only against Universitario de Deportes and Alianza Lima will the team move to the Estadio Nacional for security reasons .

Trainer
So far, Sporting has been looked after by 58 coaches from eight nations. The first person to hold this post was the Chilean Luis Tirado . He was a coach between 1956 and 1958. Alberto Gallardo took a seat on the head coach's chair in five different periods. Víctor Pasache and Juan Carlos Oblitas follow with four jobs each . So far, no coach has managed to hold his post for more than three seasons. The only non-South American in 1971 was the German Rudi Gutendorf . It was the latter who described the club's image problem in his autobiography: “Cristal is unpopular in Peru because it is the team of the rich. Against Alianza , the team of the poor - the popular ones - it is important to win today, to show who you are. … Every player from ›Cristal‹ receives piercing whistles. ›Every game here at home,‹ says Gutendorf, ›is more difficult for us than a game away. We are branded as the rich. The audience love the poor because they are themselves. ‹"
President
The first president in the club's history was Blas Loredo Bascones in 1956. He was replaced in 1960 by Alfonso Raul Villegas. Jaime Noriega Zegarra held this office for a total of eight years. He holds the record, followed by his predecessor Josue Grande Fernandez, who ran the club between 1972 and 1979. Francisco Lombardi Oyarzub is the only president to date to have held this post in two terms.
