Professional era

Three consecutive finals would be the perfect example that ADT wanted to enter professional football at the end of the seventies. And the third time was the charm. In 1979, it qualified for the Copa Perú the third consecutive time for the final along with Aguas Verdes de Zarumilla, Centenario de Ayacucho, Defensor Lima, Deportivo Garcilaso and Universidad Técnica de Cajamarca.

After finishing fourth in 1977 and 1978, it won the Copa Perú for the first time. This is a summary of the journey that the Celestes made until writing their most glorious page. As a result of winning the Copa Perú, ADT were promoted to the Primera División for the first time.

The following year, in its first season in the top flight, it achieved its best campaign in the first division, as it entered the final playoffs and finished as the third best team of the year, coming very close to qualifying for the Copa Libertadores by finishing two points behind Atlético Torino, which was classified as runner-up for that cup. In the following seasons its performances did not go beyond regular until 1990, the year in which it won the Central Region, qualifying for the pre-league where it would be eliminated by Alianza Lima. It remained in the first division until the 1991 season, when, upon eliminating the regional tournaments, the number of teams was reduced and the club could not enter the next season. It participated in the 1992 Zonal Tournament, but did not qualify for the final playoffs and was relegated to the Copa Perú.
