History

[edit]

UTC was officially founded on 14 July 1964[1] by Oswaldo Silva Marín and Wílder Tejada Arribasplata, clerks at Universidad Técnica de Cajamarca,[1] known today as Universidad Nacional de Cajamarca (National University of Cajamarca),[2] with the aim of giving the university a place in the local soccer league.[1] Prior to that date, the club had been playing for three months in the local league alongside Club Juventud Victoria as one team, before the official foundation date.[1]

In 1970, UTC wins the local league of the District of Cajamarca and again in 1971 through 1974.[1] They would go on to also win the Liga Departamental de Cajamarca in that same time.

The club was 1981 Copa Perú champion, when it defeated Atlético Grau, Juventud La Palma, Deportivo Garcilaso, and Sportivo Huracán.

The club have played at the highest level of Peruvian football on twelve occasions, from 1982 Torneo Descentralizado until 1993 Torneo Descentralizado when it was relegated. In the 1985 Torneo Descentralizado, they were Runners-up and fell short to Universitario in the Liguilla Final stage by four points. They qualified for the 1986 Copa Libertadores as a result and got eliminated in the Group Stage with three points.

In the 2011 Torneo Intermedio, the club was eliminated by Real Garcilaso in the Round of 16.

In the 2011 Copa Perú, the club qualified to the National Stage, but was eliminated by Los Caimanes.[3]

UTC won the 2012 Copa Perú under manager Rafael Castillo after defeating Alfonso Ugarte in the final. The club won 2–0 at home in Cajamarca and lost 3–2 in Puno, but won due to a better goal difference. With the win, they qualified for the 2013 Torneo Descentralizado, the top flight of Peruvian football; they finished sixth and classified for the second international tournament in their history, the 2014 Copa Sudamericana. In 2018, 2019, and 2021 UTC qualified for the Copa Sudamericana and got eliminated in the First Stage in every edition.
