Anniversary of Lima: the soccer map of a city that lives with more than a century of soccer | INFOGRAPHIC

Lima beats every weekend with a chant in a grandstand, with the shout of a goal on a stoneware, with the bet paid in some street with two stone arches. The capital of Peru turns 489 years old and has lived it for more than a century with a ball at its feet, since the people of Lima challenged the sailors of Callao, since Lima Cricket and Unión Cricket starred in the first soccer match on national soil in 1895, although some historians claim that already 20 years (1872) before, people were running behind a ball.

Celebrate Lima and the alliance members celebrate on Cotabambas Street where the club was founded 122 years ago. Celebrate the ‘U’ on its centenary with the San Marcos legacy in its history and the Lolo de Breña as the insignia of its history. Cristal is happy and her Rimense tradition that was born in Jr. Trujillo. And thus, dozens of clubs that have been born in these streets.

And each space has its soccer past, like before the galleries on Av. Grau, there was the first soccer field, the Santa Sofía. Or in the Municipal Palace it was once decided to found a club like Deportivo Municipal.

Today we live in the splendor of a National Stadium, which had a life of its own that November 15, 2017 with the World Cup qualification. Every weekend is synonymous with football in Lima, but the passion is lived every day.
