History
[edit]1975 National Runner-up
[edit]The 1975 Copa Libertadores squad featured Walter Seminario in goal, while the defense was led by Paraguayan Ángel Amidey Pereyra and Jorge Arrelucea. In midfield, Wálter Daga stood out, while the attack relied on Ernesto Neyra and José Leyva, who had previously finished as the top scorer of the national championship with 26 goals.[1]
Relegation to Copa Perú
[edit]In 1999, more experienced in the competition, Alfonso Ugarte secured its place in the National Stage with a 3–0 victory over Deportivo Tintaya, earning nine points and finishing ahead of the Cusco-based side and the multiple-time champion Deportivo Maldonado.[2]
Copa Perú Runner-up and Return to the Second Division
[edit]However, following an internal meeting, the club’s board dismissed both the manager and several players[3], later appointing César Gonzáles as Flores’ replacement.[4]
In the final, Alfonso Ugarte fell 2–0 to UTC in Cajamarca. Although the club won the second leg 3–2 in Puno after trailing 2–0, it was not enough to secure promotion back to the First Division, and the team instead returned to the Second Division.[5]
Crisis, Disqualification and Relegation
[edit]In 2023, Alfonso Ugarte faced serious financial difficulties, including unpaid salaries owed to players dating back to the previous season.[6]
The club’s first major issue arose on Matchday 20, when it was scheduled to host Unión Huaral at the Monumental de la UNA Stadium. The match was not played because the pitch was deemed unfit, leading the Huaral side to file a claim for the points.[7]
