History
editFounded on 11 April 1992,[1] Cuniburo only reached the Segunda Categoría in 2008, where they narrowly missed out promotion in the final rounds.
After not competing in the 2021 season due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Cuniburo returned to an active status for the 2022 season, with a new board and with a new manager being Argentine Germán Corengia.[2] In that year, they won the Segunda Categoría and achieved promotion to the Serie B for the first time ever.[3]
Cuniburo finished the 2023 Serie B in the third place, only three points behind Imbabura. On 13 October 2024, the club achieved a first-ever promotion to the Serie A after a 2–0 win over San Antonio,[4] and lifted the trophy three days later, after a 5–2 routing of 9 de Octubre.[5]
