History

[edit]
Club Gualberto Villarroel logo

Founded on 16 July 1968 as Club Gualberto Villarroel as an honour to Bolivia's 39th president Gualberto Villarroel, the club first reached the Primera A of the Oruro Football Association in 2015.[1] In 2021, the club did not participate in any tournament due to financial problems.[2]

In January 2022, following the relegation of San José, the club was sold to José Sánchez Aguilar,[1] and started a new project under the name of Gualberto Villarroel San José. Despite incorporating the name of the traditional club, it was not a merger between both sides.[3]

Protests from San José supporters in GV San José's opening match against Deportivo Kala in April 2022

After adopting the colours, uniform and symbol similar to the original San José, the club announced José Peña as manager and Paulo Folster as president in February 2022.[4] They played their first match after the change in April 2022, with several supporters from San José protesting on the stands.[5]

After missing out a place in the Copa Simón Bolívar in 2022, the club qualified to the tournament in the 2023 season. In that competition, they reached the finals, facing San Antonio Bulo Bulo[6] and winning the title on penalties.[7]
