Cobreloa is a historic Chilean football club based in the mining city of Calama, competing in the Liga de Ascenso, the country's second division. The team plays its iconic home matches at the Estadio Zorros del Desierto. Founded in 1977 by workers of the Codelco copper mine, the club's colors are orange and blue, and its name literally means "Copper Rain," a direct reference to the region's mining wealth. Cobreloa's history is one of spectacular success, rising rapidly to dominate Chilean football in the early 1980s. The club's golden era saw them win multiple Primera División titles and achieve legendary status by reaching the final of the Copa Libertadores in both 1981 and 1982, led by icons like Victor Merello and Jorge Luis Siviero. The modern era has been more challenging, with the club fluctuating between the first and second divisions, but they remain a giant with a massive and loyal fanbase known as "Los Loínos." The team culture is deeply tied to the identity of the Atacama Desert region, with fans known for their unwavering support through long travels. Cobreloa is a club of immense tradition, striving to return to its former glory.
