Unión La Calera History
On January 26, 1954, Unión La Calera was founded as Club de Deportes La Calera following the consolidation of the city’s three sports teams—Condor, Calera Comercio, and Tifón—into a single entity. The next year, Deportes La Calera and Club de Deportes Melón came together to form Unión La Calera. Club de Deportes Melón was initially established as a result of the merger between Cemento Melón and Minas Navo.
After playing in the Segunda División de Chile for the previous six seasons, the squad was promoted to the Primera División de Chile in 1961. They remained in this division until 1974. They were placed in the highest division in 1985, but the following year they were placed in the lowest tier.
Then, after a brief stay in the promotion division, they moved through the second level and the third level before ascending again to the highest category in 2011 and again in 2018. (Primera B). The palmares of Unión La Calera includes five championships from the second tier, including the 1961 and 1984 Segunda División de Chile titles as well as the 2017 Primera B title. Additionally, the team has been awarded two Tercera División de Chile trophies (1990 and 2000).
Red, which has been a component of the club’s uniform ever when they were known as Union La Calera, is the color that has become synonymous with the organization. They call Estadio Municipal Nicolás Chahuán Nazar their home field for matches played there. In spite of this, between 2017 and 2018, they played their home games at Quillota’s Estadio Municipal Lucio Faria Fernández because their previous stadium was undergoing renovations (which has a capacity for 7703 spectators).
Their most significant rival in the immediate vicinity is San Luis de Quillota. It is common knowledge that Sergio Jadue began his career as a sports manager with this group before assuming leadership of the ANFP in 2011. This fact has brought the organization a great deal of notoriety. In 2007, he was promoted to the position of chief executive officer at Unión La Calera Corporation. In June of 2009, he was selected to fill the role of President of the Club’s Board of Directors.
After 26 years of hard work, his direction helped Unión La Calera achieve top-tier status in the year 2010. After he left, the squad experienced a brief period of success in the first half of 2011, as evidenced by their advancement to the semifinals of the Torneo Apertura. The participants Ramón Ignacio Fernández, Braian Rodriguez, and Gonzalo Barriga stood out as some of the most notable in that competition.
