Club Deportivo Social y Culturual Willy Serrato Puse[1] commonly known as Club Willy Serrato is a Peruvian football club based in Pimentel, Lambayeque.

History

The Club was founded in 2012 after a group of businessmen from the region bought Club Corporación Espinoza's place in the local district League. The Club was named after Willy Serrato Puse who is a prominent politician.[1] In the 2012 Copa Perú, it was eliminated in the Regional Stage. In the 2013 Copa Perú, the club classified to the National Stage, but was eliminated by Unión Huaral of Huaral, Lima in the semifinals. Because of its good performance in the Copa Perú, it was invited to play in the Peruvian Segunda División when the league was expanded to 16 teams.[2]

Colours and badge

Willy Serrato's colors and badge are very similar to English club's Manchester City F.C. to the point of including the Premier League and UEFA Champions League badges on the left and right shirt sleeves respectively during the 2013 season.[3]

Stadium

The Elías Aguirre stadium from the Occidente stand

Willy Serrato plays in the multi-purpose stadium Estadio Elías Aguirre which has a capacity of 25,000. Built between 1968 and 1970 by the municipality of the Chiclayo Province, it was named after the 19th century Peruvian sailor Elías Aguirre Romero. The municipality transferred administration of the stadium to the Instituto Peruano del Deporte. The stadium was renovated for the 2004 Copa América and again for the 2005 FIFA U-17 World Championship in which artificial turf was installed. The stadium is also home to many football clubs of the Chiclayo province that compete in the Ligas Distritales. In 2013, the stadium was closed for renovations in preparation for the 2013 Bolivarian Games to be held in Trujillo. Estadio Francisco Mendoza Pizarro, located in Olmos is its alternative stadium.

Supporters

The club has many local supporters within the districts of Olmos and Pimentel. One of the biggest organized groups is the Banda D' Willy.[4]
