Club Social y Deportivo ColoColo (Spanish pronunciation: [colo colo]) is a Chilean football club
based in Macul, Santiago. Founded in 1925, they play in the Chilean Primera Divisin, from
which they have never been relegated.[1] The team plays its home games at the 47.347
seat[2] Estadio Monumental David Arellano since 1989.[3] Colo-Colo is regarded as the most
successful club of Chilean football.
Colo-Colo has won more Primera Divisin de Chile (31) than any other Chilean club and a
record eleven Copa Chile titles. It was the first Chilean team to win a continental tournament
conquering the 1991 Copa Libertadores[4] after beating Olimpia 30 on 5 June with Mirko
Jozi as manager.[4] Next year, the club went on to win two international titles that were 1992
Recopa Sudamericana[5] and 1992 Copa Interamericana,[6] completing the club's three
international honours.
The club's most winning player is Luis Mena with eleven titles,[7] the historic top scorer is Carlos
Caszely with 208 goals,[8]and the player with most appearances is the former
goalkeeper Misael Escuti with 417 games.
Colo-Colo is the team with most supporters in Chile,[9] and holds a long standing rivalry
with Club Universidad de Chile. The club also holds a traditional rivalry in matches against C.D.
Cobreloa and Club Deportivo Universidad Catlica. The IFFHS placed the team into the top 30
club ranking in 2007.[10] In 2009, that same institution named the team as the 20th century's top
club of its country, and also within the top twenty clubs in South American football history.[11]

History[edit]
19251933: Foundation and early years[edit]
David Arellano, the founder of the club
One of the first Colo-Colo line-ups, 1925
The team was founded in early 1925 by Magallanes' footballer David Arellano, who led a group
of young players leaving the club after institutional problems.[12][13] Finally, on 19 April, Arellano
and the other youths officially established the club after meetings and negotiations, where Luis
Contreras chose the name Colo-Colo for the club, [14] which refers to the
homonymous Mapuche cacique Colo Colo.
The team began to play friendly games, but in 1926, Colo-Colo took part in the Metropolitan
League of Honour, where they were proclaimed champions and earned the nickname of
"invincible".[15] The following year, Colo-Colo became the first Chilean football team to
participate in a tour across Europe. However, on 2 May, during an exhibition match
against Real Unin Deportiva at Valladolid, the team founder and captain David Arellano was
critically injured after suffering a collision with an opposing player that caused him Peritonitis.
[16]
The inflammation would lead to his death the next day.[17] Despite the great impact caused by
the death of Arellano, the club won the tournament of the Central League of football then
renamed Asociacin de Football de Santiago in the 1928,[18] 1929[19] and 1930[20] seasons.
In the 193132 season, Colo-Colo suffered its first institutional crisis because of financial
problems, which led to a salary reduction for first team footballers and board members, with
their consequent resistance.[21] The team played another tournament final that season
against Audax Italiano. However, due to a collapse of a platform at the Estadio Italiano and
subsequent roughhousing by fans, the game was suspended while the "Albos" were winning
21. That day's tragedy resulted in 130 injuries and three deaths.[22] The match was canceled
and the champion position for that year remained vacant. [22] Other authors however declared
that both Audax Italiano and Colo-Colo were declared champions.[23][24]
19331973: Beginnings in professional football[edit]

One year later, six Santiago based clubs along with Colo-Colo decided to create the first
professional league within the country, which was established in 1933.[25] On 23 July, the team
won the Campeonato de Apertura (precursor of the Copa Chile), after defeating Unin
Espaola 21.[25] However, in the first Primera Divisin official tournament, Colo-Colo finished
first alongside Magallanes, which forced the "Cacique" to play a tie-breaker match that ColoColo lost 21.[26] In 1937 the team was undefeated,[27] leading to their first league title.[28] Two
seasons later, in 1939, Colo-Colo won the league title for the second time now under the
guidance of the Hungarian coach Francisco Platko,[29] with the highest scorer being Alfonso
Domnguez, who scored 20 goals in 24 matches.[30] After another title in 1941 with Platko as
coach,[31] the club went on two win honours in 1944[32]and 1947.[33] The following year Colo-Colo
organized the South American Club Championship precursor of the Copa Libertadores in
Santiago,[34] which brough together the 1947 champions of the continent. In 1945, the club had
the worst season in its history, finishing penultimate in eleventh place only ahead of
weak Badminton.[35]
In the early 1950s, club's president Antonio Labn hired Newcastle United striker George
Robledo for 25,000,[36] who with his goals led the team to the tournaments of 1953[37]and 1956.
[38]
During that decade, the club acquired a terrain at Macul, where construction of the Estadio
Monumental began (inaugurated in 1975).[39] Despite of that acquisition, the directive invested
in a headquarters located at Santiago Centro address Cienfuegos 41 in 1953. The next
decade saw Colo-Colo win honors in 1960[40] and 1963.[41] The 1963 team broke two
records: Luis Hernn lvarez scored 37 goals in a single season,[42] which was the highest
number of goals scored by a footballer of Colo-Colo during a single season. [42] The second new
record was the highest number of goals scored by a club (130) in one football season. [43] In the
late 1960s, the club played several seasons where their rivals Universidad
Catlica and Universidad de Chile dominated.[44] However, the team won its tenth honour in
1970.[45]
Colo-Colo 1973 and 1980s dominance[edit]

In 1972, now under the orders of coach Luis lamos [46] and with figures like Carlos
Caszely and Francisco Valds,[47] the club won another championship.[48] It also obtained the
country's attendance record of 45.929 people for a single season.[49] That team was the basis of
the so-called "Colo-Colo 73", the first Chilean team to reach a Copa Libertadores final, where it
lost against Independiente of Argentina.[50] After Colo-Colo's brilliant campaign, the club went
into a competitiveness and institutional crisis not being able to win another league title until
1979.[51] That team featured the talented Brazilian midfielder Severino Vasconcelos alongside a
returning Caszely.[52]
In the 1980s, the club obtained the league titles of 1981 and 1983 [53] with coach Pedro Garca,
and the 1986[54] and 1989[55] honours under Arturo Salah. The 1987 Alianza Lima air
disaster claimed the lives of sixteen players and Colo-Colo was the first to help the Peruvian
team, loaning them 4 players.[56] Nonetheless the team won four Copa Chile titles in that
decade. During that period, the greatest disappointment was at the continental tournament
level with the team only exceeding the first stage in the 1988 Copa Libertadores. On 30
September 1989, the Estadio Monumental was inaugurated with an opening match
against Pearol, that Colo-Colo won 21,[3] with goals by Marcelo Barticciotto and the
striker Leonel Herrera, the son of a 1970s legendary former defender of the same name.
19911999: International success[edit]

The 1990s was the most successful decade in the club's history for the national and
international honours achieved. Croatian Mirko Jozi arrived as coach, leading the team
towards its first Bicampeonato for winning two national titles in a row.[57] On 5 June of that year,
after beating Olimpia 30 at Monumental with two goals by Luis Prez and one by Leonel
Herrera, Colo-Colo became the first Chilean team to win a Copa Libertadores. That same
season, the "Albos" lost the Intercontinental Cup final against Yugoslavian club Red Star
Belgrade, after being defeated 30 in Tokyo.[58] At the local level, the club won the 1991 league,
its third-consecutive title thus achieving its first Tricampeonato.[59]The following season, the club
won the Recopa Sudamericana, after beating Brazil's Cruzeiro in a penalty shootout, and also
obtained the Copa Interamericana, after winning 31 against Puebla in Mexico. The last title
won by Jozi in Colo-Colo was the 1993 league title, thus closing a successful spell in South
America.[60]
After Jozi's departure, came a little drought in national titles, but the team managed to get an
unforgettable 3-0 win over arch rivals Universidad de Chile in 1995. The team was champion of
the 1994 Copa Chile and reached the 1994 Copa Libertadores quarterfinals. The following
season saw the arrival of Paraguayan coach Gustavo Bentez, who obtained the 1996,[61] 1997C[62] and 1998[63] honours. The team advanced to the semifinals of the Supercopa
Libertadores in 1996, and of the Copa Libertadores in 1997, being eliminated both times by
Cruzeiro. In 1999, Colo-Colo lived a similar situation to 1994, finishing fourth in the Chilean
league and having three coaches during that single season: Brazilian Nelsinho Baptista, the
caretaker manager Carlos Durn and then Fernando Morena of Uruguay, who remained until
2001.
1999present: Bankruptcy and recovery[edit]

In 1999, after Bentez's departure, the club entered a serious financial crisis. In January 23 of
2002, after years of economic missmanagements under the leadership of Peter Dragicevic as
president,[64] the club was declared bankrupt. Justice named Juan Carlos Saffie as syndic
responsible for the institution allowing it not to lose its legal status. [64]Despite the bankruptcy,
under Jaime Pizarro as coach key player in the obtaining of the 1991 Copa Libertadores
Los Albos won the Torneo de Clausura, with an almost completely juvenile squad.[65] Three
years later, in 2005, the joint-stock company Blanco y Negro[66] took over the administration,
concessioning all club assets for thirty years in exchange for paying all debts through an
opening process at the Santiago Stock Exchange.[64] In the first half of 2006, the judiciary court
sentenced the end of bankruptcy.[64]
Colo-Colo squad celebrating the 2006 Torneo de Clausura obtaining.
With the Argentine Claudio Borghi as coach since 2006, and with players like Matas
Fernndez and Humberto Suazo, Colo-Colo obtained a Bicampeonato winning
the Apertura[67] and Clausura tournaments.[68] The squad reach another international final,
the Copa Sudamericana, losing 21 to Mexico's side Pachuca. That season, El Cacique was
recognized by the IFFHS as the world's club of the month.[69] The following season Colo-Colo
won two more consecutive tournament, winning a Tetracampeonato for winning four back-toback championships, being the first Chilean team to achieve that. [70]
After Borghi's departure, the club obtained its 28th title after defeating Palestino in the 2008
Torneo de Clausura finals under the coaching of Marcelo Barticciotto, and with Lucas
Barrios as principal scorer, who equaled Luis Hernn lvarez record of highest number of
goals scored by a Colo-Colo footballer during a single season with 37 goals. [71] The following
season, the club became the first professional team to play in Easter Island.[72] After a
poor Torneo de Apertura 2009 not reaching the play-offs for the first time Los Albos started
the Clausura very close to relegation positions. However, the team reached the tournament's
finals against Universidad Catlica, beating them 42 in Santa Laura, with players like Esteban
Paredes, Macnelly Torres and Ezequiel Miralles, coached by Hugo Tocalli.[73] Colo Colo's last
championship was in 2014 after winning the Torneo de Clausura. It was the team's 30th
Chilean League title.
Badge, colours and kit[edit]
Colocolo bust at Estadio Monumental David Arellano.
For more details on this topic, see Uniform of Colo-Colo and Badge of Colo-Colo.
The club's badge represents Mapuche chieftain Colo Colo, an important Wall Mapu member
who battled in the Arauco War against the Spanish empire (15361818).[74] On 19 April 1925,
when the club was established, Luis Contreras one of the players that founded the club
defined the team's badge, in representation of the chief and the country's indigenous people.
Throughout its history, Colo-Colos uniform has been a white shirt and black shorts. The
uniform was originally designed by Juan Quiones following the recommendations of David
Arellano. In 1927, during the clubs tour in Europe, Arellano tragically died while playing against
Real Unin Deportiva (currently Real Valladolid). It was decided then that the badge will wear a
black horizontal band over it forever, to represent the institution's eternal mourning. For that
reason, the club was nicknamed The Mourners during the 1930s.
The teams away kits have varied along its history, from green between 1927 and the mid1970s and to red from 1975 to 1988. Nowadays the away kit is an all black uniform.

Colo-Colo (1989present)
Colo-Colo initially played on a field called Estadio El Llano but in January 1928 moved to
the Campos de Sports de uoa. The team later moved to Estadio Nacional where the club
played from 1939 to the late 1980s. In 1946 the club bought a stadium from Carabineros de
Chile then called Fortn Mapocho that was closed because of security reasons. It was
intended to build a 30,000 seat stadium at the site. However, a municipal ordinance prohibited
construction in the area. For that reason, Colo-Colo sold the stadium in order to raise funds for
the future Estadio Monumental.
In 1956, club's president Antonio Labn acquired a 28ha terrain at Macul, close the intersection
between Vicua Mackenna and Departamental. The new stadium was originally planned with a
capacity of 120,000. Due to the work's high cost and lack of a government subsidy the project
was halted. In 1960, after Chile's successful proposition to hold the World Cup, several
congressmen proposed to build a 52,000-seat stadium in Colo-Colo's site. However, the 9.5
Valdivia earthquake and a willingness from congress to veto any public funding to nongovernmental entities stopped the initiative.
Colo-Colo's brilliant campaigns of 1972 and 1973 allowed the stadium construction to resume.
It was inaugurated in 1975 in a 10 league win over Deportes Aviacin with Juan Carlos
Orellana becoming the first player to score a goal in Monumental's history.[75]However, the
stadium was closed due to lack of basic services and infrastructure. It was not reopened until
1989 thanks to Hugo Rubio's transfer to Bologna which allowed the club to receive US$1
million. The stadium was called Monumental David Arellano in honour of its founder and its
definitive inauguration was in a match against Uruguay's Pearol which Colo-Colo won 21.
[3]
Marcelo Barticciotto scored the first goal.
Since its definitive opening, the stadium has seen the 1991 Copa Libertadores and 1992 Copa
Interamericana obtentions as well as several league titles. Monumental's public record
attendance was in 1992 during a derby match with Universidad de Chile which registered an
attendance of approximately 70,000 fans.[76] That record was closely followed in August 1993
during a 20 exhibition match win over Real Madrid with a 67,543 attendance.[77] Several
remodeling works and stricter security brought down the total capacity to 47,347.
It's worth noting that the Chilean national team has used the stadiums in some of its games
since 1997, both in friendlies and in games leading to the qualification to the 1998,
[78]
2010 and 2014 World Cups. The stadium was also used during the 2015 Copa Amrica.

Main article: Garra Blanca
Colo-Colo is the club with the largest following in Chile, with approximately 42% of the
total Chilean football fans according to research published in August 2012 by Spanish
newspaper agency Marca,.[79] The study showed a 4% growth in comparison to a 2006
research by Fundacin Futuro that ranked the club in first place with the 38% of the
preferences, leaving its rival Universidad de Chile in second place.[80]
Since the early 1960s, the club has organized fan groups, which evolved in the mid-1980s into
the so-called Garra Blanca They attended Colo-Colo's games and generally rioted, especially
in derbies, turning Estadio Monumental surroundings into battlefields against the military
police. In 2000, the group was declared as Barra brava.
