Atlético Torino
Club Atlético Torino is a Peruvian football club, playing in the city of Talara. The club were founded 1957 and play in the Copa Perú which is the fourth division of the Peruvian league. They are the record holders for the Copa Perú, with 5 titles.
Atlético Torino was founded on March 20, 1952, at Avenida H-44 in Talara by Cosme Maldonado Luna, his wife Adelaida Agurto, and a group of young football enthusiasts who sought to participate in the traditional inter-neighborhood tournaments of the time and establish a club that would represent them.
The club’s name was chosen through a vote among the founders, with the proposal made by Juan Arica emerging victorious. He suggested the name “Torino” as a tribute to Torino Football Club of Turin, Italy.
In 1952, the club registered in the Second Division of the Liga Distrital de Pariñas and achieved promotion to the top local division that same year. During its amateur era, it won league titles in 1963, 1965, 1968, and 1969. In the latter year, it played the final against Sport Blondell, defeating them 1–0 to claim the championship.
In mid-1970, Atlético Torino won the Copa Perú for the first time, finishing ahead of clubs such as FBC Melgar of Arequipa and CNI of Iquitos in the final standings. The Talara-based side secured the title with one match remaining in the final hexagonal stage after defeating Unión Ocopilla of Huancayo 2–1, with both goals scored by Luis “El Pollo” Ramírez.
During that campaign, César Vázquez Pinillos served as club president, while Paraguayan coach César Cubilla managed the team. That same year, Torino made its debut in the Peruvian First Division, finishing in 11th place among 14 participating teams. Its first relegation came in the 1973 Torneo Descentralizado.
Two years later, the “Taladro Norteño” won its second Copa Perú title. However, due to the enactment of Law 20555, there was no promotion to professional football that year, meaning the club’s return to the First Division had to wait until 1977. In that season, Torino captured its third Copa Perú after defeating Sportivo Huracán in a playoff match. The championship-winning squad, coached by Carlos Bustinza, regularly lined up with Ricardo Valladares; Felimer Rojas, Percy Maldonado, Humberto Sanjinés, Pedro Lolandez; José Novoa, Luis Vitorena, Raymundo Vargas; José Zapata, Francisco Montero Chunga, and Humberto Correa.
In the 1980 Torneo Descentralizado, Torino finished as national runner-up, earning qualification for the 1981 Copa Libertadores. The club was placed in a group alongside Sporting Cristal and Chilean clubs Cobreloa, the reigning Chilean champion, and Universidad de Chile, that country’s runner-up. During its international campaign, Torino suffered a heavy 6–1 defeat against Cobreloa in the city of Calama and was eliminated in the first round. That same year, the club was relegated.
