History

Its first uniform consisted of vertical green and white stripes, similar to the uniforms worn by the stud's jockeys. It later changed to the current uniform, dark blue and white vertical stripes. The closeness between players earned them the nickname Los íntimos ("The intimates").

Alianza participated in the Peruvian football league since the first season 1912, winning its first title in 1918. During its first years, it played irregularly against other teams from Lima and the port of Callao. Its matches against Atlético Chalaco from Callao stirred interest as a clash between limeños and chalacos. Sport Alianza had started to become a popular team drawing large support.

Three-peat and relegation

While the Alianza stud changed owners and locations continuously, the team was forced to constantly relocate in turn, until 1928, when under the new name Alianza Lima, the club settled in the third block of the Manco Capac avenue in the La Victoria District, where it would stay and become emotionally attached. La Victoria is a district of the Lima Province in Peru and one of the districts that comprise the city of Lima. ...

That same year they played against the Federación Universitaria (University Federation) for the first time, which would be later renamed Universitario de Deportes and become their greatest rivals in what is today the most important Peruvian derby. Universitario de Deportes is a Peruvian football club located in Lima. ...

The 1930s brought great joy and frustration to the team. In 1931, 1932 and 1933, Alianza Lima won three championships in a row for the first time in Peruvian football. But the memory of this achievement should be tainted by the relegation in 1938. After a year in the Second Division the team returned to the first level and has stayed there ever since.

Titles

Alianza Lima has traditionally fought for the first places in Peruvian leagues, and yielded great players to the country. During the 1940s, 1950s, 1960s and 1970s, Alianza would win 10 championships, with two in a row in 1977 and 1978, when its players formed almost the entirety of the Peru national football team.

1980s decade

Main article: 1987 Alianza Lima air disaster

In 1987, Alianza Lima was first in the standings with a few matches left, and it looked like a new title would be obtained, but tragedy would get in the way. On 7 December of that year, Alianza made a trip to Pucallpa to play against Deportivo Pucallpa for the league. The match was won 1-0, with Carlos Bustamante scoring. The team took a charter flight for the round trip. The return flight departed on 8 December in a Peruvian Navy Fokker F27 airplane, which crashed into the sea when it was a few kilometers away from the Lima-Callao Airport, close to the Ventanilla district in Callao.

Alianza Lima was close to relegation in 1988, but it managed to hold on in the last matches. In the next few years, despite being competitive, it failed to obtain a title. This drought extended until 1997, which closed 18 sad seasons without winning a single championship and having lost a very promising team.

The titles and the centenary

In 1997, Alianza Lima obtained its first title since 1978, under Colombian manager Jorge Luis Pinto. In 1999 it came in second place, after losing to Universitario in the finals. In the early hours 2000, tragedy struck again, when the young captain, Sandro Baylón died in a car accident after crashing with a post.

In 2001 the club celebrated its centenary and obtained the national title after beating Cienciano in Cusco, after penalty kicks. Later on, Alianza Lima would win the 2003 and 2004 championships, after defeating Sporting Cristal in both finals, this time under Argentinian manager Gustavo Costas.

Fans

The fans from Alianza Lima are mostly people who life in the populous and poor areas of Lima like El Augustino, San Juan de Lurigancho, Lince, Chorillos, San Luis, parts of San Martin de Porres and other poor neighbourhoods but most of the fans come from the notorious neighbourhood of La Victoria. Throughout whole Peru the poor will mostly support Alianza Lima this gives the club the nickname "Los Del Pueblo" (The Team of the People).

The main fan organization is known as "Comando Sur". They receive this name because they locate themselves in the Southern Bleachers of the Stadium. The word Sur (which means "south" in Spanish) is written with a v because the letter "U" identifies their eternal rival (Universitario de Deportes).

Comando Sur is not one group of fans but it's an organization of groups of fans: barras bravas. The neighbourhood you came from decides to which barra you are part of. Since every district has more neighbourhoods every barra has a name for example: if you are born in Chorillos you can be part of AsALto, VandALos, MALicia or Los ALiados.

The biggest barra brava is Barraca Rebelde named after the notorious street a few blocks from the stadium.

If you say to someone in Peru you're in a barra brava of Alianza Lima (but actually every barra brava) they will consider you a criminal because barra bravas of Alianza Lima have a reputation of violence, the most known is the conquering, sacking and almost razing the old stadium of Universitario Lolo Fernandez. More recently is the sensational stealing of almost all the flags and instruments of Trinchera Norte, the organization of barra bravas of Universitario.

There is a strong rivalry between Comando Sur and the Trinchera Norte (the biggest fan organization in la "U"). When a derby between the 2 teams is played there are massive fights which the police always fails to control and deaths are common since the fights escalate into gun shootouts between gangs. It is highly recommended you don't go watch this game unless you're with an expert because both barras can be seen as huge gangs and will rob and wound people who they come across. However this battles are common throughout the year, derby or no derby, in the slums of Lima daily there are bitter fights between gangs who support Alianza and gangs who support Universitario. In many countries the term local derby, or simply just derby (pronounced der-bee in American English and dar-bee in British English after the English city) means a sporting fixture between two (generally local) rivals, particularly in Association Football. ...

When games in Lima are played in the stadium of the rival team all supporters always meet each other on match day at the home stadium of the team, in this case Matute, and walk to the stadium where the game is played. They are escorted by police but this is only to prevent them from rioting completely, shops on the way are always looted and bypassers mugged. They always walk on grand boulevards so they are stronger. It's highly recommended you stay out of the way of these Caminatas and turn in a street or take a bus out of there. It has happened that 2 Barras meet each other on their Caminatas, It's rare because they only take large boulevards but it happens, this always results in massive fights and deaths.
