UNIVERSIDAD CATOLICA - UNIVERSIDAD DE CHILE

Club

EL CLASICO UNIVERSITARIO

The rivalry between the 2 universities unfolded when Universidad Católica was formed in 1937. Some students from the Club Universitario left the club to create Club Deportivo Universidad Católica. The Clasico Universitario was the most important rivalry in Chile until the beginning of the 70's. From that time Colo Colo started to win a lot of titles while La U and Catolica experienced some tough times. Fans generally come from all walks of life but La Catolica has a reputation for being elitist and the team of the rich and their stadium is located in the richest part of Santiago (las condes).
