History
Huachipato was officially founded on June 7, 1947 by workers of the Huachipato steel mill in Talcahuano, in southern Chile. This is where nicknames such as Los Acereros, Siderúrgicos and Campeón del Sur come from. The original colors were red, blue and white, and black and blue were adopted in 1967. The club reached the first division in 1966 and won its first national title in 1974, which gave it a spot in the 1975 Copa Libertadores. The second title came in the 2012 Clausura Tournament, which took it back to the Libertadores in 2013. The third Chilean title was in 2023, decided dramatically in the last round, with Huachipato confirming the championship with a one-point advantage. This secured participation in the 2024 Libertadores. In 2025 the club won the Copa Chile. The club has a tradition of developing players, such as Mario Salgado and Gonzalo Jara, and its top scorer is Héctor Mancilla, with 72 goals. It competed in the Copa Libertadores in 1975, 2013 and 2024 and the Copa Sudamericana in 2006, 2014, 2015, 2020, 2021 and 2024.
