[edit] History

The club was founded on July 28, 1927 by a group of young enthusiasts from the city Callao who got together to fulfill the dream of Gualberto Lizárraga, form a football club. The day before Peru's independence day, July 27, they met. At midnight, the group sang the national anthem of Peru. Afterwards, they began forming the club and Gualberto Lizárraga became president. The group then unanimously voted for the club name to be Sport Boys Association.

The team's original uniform was not pink but striped red and yellow.

Sport Boys was the first Peruvian football club to feature cheerleaders. Many of them, including Anelhí Arias, Shirley Cherres, and others that have become famous Peruvian celebrities.

[edit] Stadium

Sport Boys play their home games at the Estadio Miguel Grau. It has a capacity of about 15,000. Before this stadium was built, they had to use the 5,000 spectator capacity Telmo Carbajo, a stadium that was in bad condition and unfit to host soccer matches. It was the first stadium in Callao. Sport Boys were forced to play there games in the Estadio Nacional, where they would be far away from their fans.
