The Club Deportivo Universidad Católica is a multi-sports organization from Chile representing the Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile that puts together 14 sport branches, being the most famous the football branch. The club has the best infrastructure in the country and has the most sport branches than any other club. Until the soccer branch became independent a few years ago, it was this branch that shared its earnings with the other branches, allowing them to survive and succeed. However, these actions prevented the soccer club to reinvest and compete aggressively at the domestic and international level, where there are other clubs with bigger budgets and funds to invest in players.
Since its foundation, the colors that identify the team are the white and the blue. While in their club's logo you can see these same colors with red, besides representing it with a cross, showing the club's Catholic character.
History
The club's foundation was in 1908. Even though the sports activities in the university began years before, the idea from Raúl Agüero in 1925 to gather sport activities from the university under the same name was the beginning of the formation of what became the Club Deportivo Universidad Católica. This way, it began to act as an organized identity and totally dependent from the university on 30 August 1927, when the then director, Monseñor Carlos Casanueva obtained the permits to use Campos de Sports de Ñuñoa for the sporting activities of the university.
It began its participation in the University Confederation of sports in 1928, participating together with the Universidad de Concepción, the Universidad Católica de Valparaíso and the Universidad de Chile.
On 19 April 1937 the university joins the Chilean Football Association. Because of this, a group of students from the university, got together in a house of studies in Santiago de Chile on 21 April 1937 to discuss the organization of the club. This would become the official date of foundation.
The football branch made its official debut on 13 June 1937 in the then Segunda División of Chilean professional football, in a game against Universidad de Chile, the longtime rival of the club, in the military stadium.
In the beginning part of the 1980s, it began the migration of some sporting branches to the Sporting complex named San Carlos de Apoquindo.
L'Universidad Catolica è nota per il suo stile di gioco veloce e spettacolare, che si basa su un forte lavoro di squadra e sulla capacità di realizzare tiri da tre punti. Tra i giocatori più famosi della squadra ci sono:
* Pedro Carreno
* Mauricio Araya
* Claudio Jorquera
* Enzo Ruiz
* José Miguel Bravo
L'Universidad Catolica è una delle squadre più seguite in Cile e ha una forte rivalità con il Colo-Colo, l'altra grande squadra di Santiago. Le partite tra queste due squadre sono sempre molto combattute e attirano sempre un grande pubblico.
Oltre ai successi nazionali, l'Universidad Catolica si è distinta anche a livello internazionale. Nel 1993 ha vinto la Coppa Sudamericana, diventando la prima squadra cilena a vincere un trofeo continentale. Inoltre, ha partecipato a numerose edizioni della FIBA Americas League, dove ha raggiunto le semifinali nel 2008 e nel 2011.
