Team Info
Club Deportes Cobresal is a unique and resilient football club from the mining town of El Salvador, competing in the Chilean Liga de Primera. The team plays at the Estadio El Cobre, a stadium situated at high altitude in the Atacama Desert. Founded in 1979, the club's colors are orange and blue, reflecting its connection to the copper mining industry. Cobresal's name literally means "Copper Salt," honoring the local mining operations. The club's history is a story of survival and triumph against the odds, culminating in their miraculous and historic Chilean Primera División championship in 2015. That title, won with a squad of experienced journeymen and local heroes, is one of the most romantic stories in Chilean football history. The modern era sees Cobresal consistently punching above its weight, often securing mid-table finishes and occasionally qualifying for continental competitions, all while operating with a modest budget. The club is a massive source of pride for the mining community, with a small but fiercely loyal fan base. Cobresal stands as a symbol of hope and achievement for Chile's smaller clubs.
