History[edit]

Club Centro Deportivo Municipal was founded upon the initiative of three municipal directors ofLima,who intended to have a football team representing the municipality of the city. Thus Círculo Deportivo Municipal was formed, which in 1934 merged with another team to create Centro Deportivo Municipal, participating in the promotion tournament in 1935.

The club was officially founded on 27 July 1935 in the Municipality of Lima. After finishing second in the promotion tournament, the team won the right to play in thePrimera Divisiónin 1936, and obtained its first national title in 1938.

Deportivo Municipal was relegated in 1967, and promoted again in 1968. The club stayed in the top category until2000,when it ended last in the season. The team was relegated to the Segunda División, where it played until 2006, when promotion was achieved by winning the title with 45 points in 22 matches. They were relegated again in2007after a troublesome season with failing to pay its players for several months.

In the2011 Torneo Intermedio,the club was eliminated byJosé Gálvezin the quarter-finals. It reached the national stage of the2012 Copa Perúand was invited to play in the Segunda División once again.

On 2014, the club gained promotion to thePrimera División Peruanafor the first time in 7 years after beatingUnión Huaral.
