Estudiantes Lau Chun is a Peruvian football club originally located in the district of La Molina (Lima), before moving to Barranco.
History
[edit]Founded by Jorge Lau Kong, president of the Lau Chun bookstore company, who used the name of his father, Enrique Lau Chun, to create a football club that initially played in the amateur league of the La Molina district, in Lima, with players from the Lau Chun bookstore factory.[2]
The club was promoted to the second division in 1988. They won the second division championship in 1991 but were unable to reach the first division due to a reduction in the number of teams in the top tier.[1] In 1993, they relinquished their second-division status to Centro Iqueño, with a promise of a merger between the two clubs that ultimately never materialized.[3] Lau Chun continued to play in the second division until 1994, but financial difficulties forced them to sell their license to Lawn Tennis FC.[1]
The club reappeared in 2013 under the name Club Estudiantes Lau Chun, playing in the Barranco district league.[1]
