History

Sporting Tabaco was founded on November 16 of 1926 , consisting mostly of workers and employees of Tabaco tight , state agency which monopolized trade Tabaco in Peru . Founded in the of Rimac District , its first president was Mr. Cristobal Jimenez, general manager of tight. The club was registered in the "third category" in which he participated in 1927.

The players were employees of the company. In the first championship of 1927, Tabaco won promotion to the "intermediate division" (a sort of second division) and one year of participation, in 1928 , the club won promotion to first division . It remembers the last game for the upgrade when Sporting Tabaco beat a team Lima called Unión Santa Catalina by 2 to 1.

From 1929 to 1955 , the Tabaco played in First Division , never relegated, was one of the teams leaders, but failed championship. in 1944 finished in last place but kept the class after beating Ciclista Lima (Champion II ) in the Championship promotion, popularly called "Tragic Wheel" because there was no relegation. According to some news sources, critics and fans believed the club Tabaco as a "large" in the Peruvian football, but well away from the classic teams and Universitario de Deportes , Alianza Lima , Deportivo Municipal and Sport Boys .

In 1931 , the Sporting Tabaco National won the runner-up behind the Alianza Lima and repeated that achievement in 1954 .

In 1954, the English proprietors of the beer company Backus and Johnston from the district of Rímac, decided to sell their firm to Peruvian investors. The new owners decided to form a local football club to represent the company.

Ricardo Bentín Mujica, with the support of his wife, was the man who is credited with achieving the company's goal. A club from Rímac, known as Sporting Tabaco, was already playing in the professional Peruvian First Division. Never having won a national championship, the club was in dire economic straits. Bentín decided to buy the club and search for a playing ground, so that the club could develop and be able to play better at the professional level. The club found a lot in the neighborhood of La Florida of 137,000 m².

On December 13, 1955 the club was officially renamed Sporting Cristal . The club from the Rímac district debuted in 1956 in the professional Primera Division and won their first national title that same year. Journalists called them the club that was born a champion (nació campeon). The team managed to win more titles over the years and was known as one of the best football clubs in Peru after Universitario de Deportes and Alianza Lima. A few years later, the club eliminated the word Backus from their name to demonstrate their economic independence.

In 1997, the team, led by Uruguayan coach Sergio Markarián, reached the finals of the Copa Libertadores, where they faced the Brazilian club Cruzeiro. The first leg was a home game, in which they ended in a scoreless draw; in the second leg, they lost 1-0. This is the closest a Peruvian team has come to the Copa Libertadores Final since 1972, when Universitario de Deportes had a similar fate playing against Club Atlético Independiente.

Recent head coaches include Juan Carlos Oblitas and Paulo Autuori. The Peruvian filmmaker Francisco Lombardi was the club's president throughout most of the successful 1990s.

Sporting Cristal changed its shirt color from blue to light blue. During a brief period between 1978 and 1981, they again used blue shirts. In 1982 they returned to light blue as the color of the club.
