History
Pre-1930 chronologyDescription: Before the 1930 World Cup, Sport Progreso already had a documented club history extending from 1912 through the tournament era. Footballopedia now keeps that pre-1930 story as a season-aware chronology rather than treating 1930 as the club’s starting point.
Chapter 1Description: Sport Progreso was founded in Rímac in 1912 by textile workers and became Peruvian champion in 1921 and 1926.
Chapter 2Description: After leaving the top flight in the 1930s, the original club fell through the local divisions and disappeared in 1958.
Chapter 3Description: A revival entered the Magdalena district league in 1983 but disappeared again after 1990. Later heritage use of the name has been linked with Deportivo Tejidos La Unión.
