History

The club was founded on 30 August 1958.

In 2005, the club was runner up of the Primera Division Apertura tournament, losing the final to Unión Española. However, the club had a dismal Clausura tournament, and were one spot away from being relegated.

Coquimbo won the 2018 Primera B and returned to the Primera Division for the 2019 season after 14 years of absence. The club has a great return in the 2019 season, finishing fifth in the league table and qualifying to continental competitions for the first time in 28 years.

In 2020, the club had a poor season in the Primera Division, and were eventually relegated. However they had an excellent Copa Sudamericana campaign, where they reached the semi-finals and were eliminated by the champions, Defensa y Justicia, but eliminated notable teams like Atlético Junior and Sport Huancayo on their way to this stage.
