Twice a year Lima stops for the fixture that carries the country's oldest grudge: Alianza Lima against Universitario de Deportes , first played in 1928 and settled so far, by wins, at 143 to 128 in Alianza's favour. Alianza came out of a stable — the club took its name from the Alianza horse yards on Cotabambas street, founded on 15 February 1901 by immigrant workers in the Chacaritas district. Nobody has ever let the other forget it.

Sporting Cristal came later and the record there is tighter, 76 wins to 68.

The club settled on the third block of Manco Cápac avenue in La Victoria in 1928 and never moved. The ground that stands there now, Estadio Alejandro Villanueva — Matute to everyone who goes — opened on 27 December 1974 and holds 33,938. Bigger nights are taken across town to the Estadio Nacional del Perú.

The worst of it came in December 1987, when the aeroplane carrying the squad went down. Alianza finished the season with boys from the youth team, and Teófilo Cubillas, long gone by then, came back to play for the club again.

Twenty-five Peruvian championships have followed the founding, the most recent in 2022, though the count is argued over — the federation has never recognised the 1934 title. Abroad the club has less to show.
