The club has had several restructurings since its formation in 1922.
Juan Aurich (1922–1992) The first incarnation of the football club was founded by a group of workers of the
hacienda Batán Grande on 3 September 1922 as
Club Deportivo Juan Aurich, after the owner of the
hacienda, Juan Aurich Pastor. Due to the financial strain created by playing in the top flight, Juan Aurich de Chiclayo also folded as its predecessors. Juan Aurich defeated Atlético Minero 2–1 and remained in the first division. In the
2009 Torneo Descentralizado, the club made a huge improvement with manager
Franco Navarro. They finished first in the first stage of the season and were one of the favorites to reach the finals. As leading team of the first stage, they started first in their group of the second stage. However, in October, two months before the end of the season, the club and Navarro terminated the manager's contract. The club hired
Luis Fernando Suárez to finish coaching what was left of the season.
Alianza Lima, which was second of the group at the start of second stage, surpassed Juan Aurich and failed to advance to the finals. At the end of the season the club finished third on the aggregate table, qualifying for the
2010 Copa Libertadores. The club continued with Suárez into the 2010 season, which began on a high note after they eliminated
Estudiantes Tecos in the first stage of the 2010 Copa Libertadores. They advanced to Group 3 of the competition with Copa Libertadores defending champions
Estudiantes de La Plata, Alianza Lima, and
Bolívar. They did not advance to the following stage as they finished third behind Estudiantes and Alianza Lima. In the
2010 Torneo Descentralizado the club's performance suffered which led to Suárez's exit from the club but they managed to obtain the last berth to the
2011 Copa Sudamericana under
Juan Reynoso. In mid-2010 he became
Anonymous Society.
First professional title The following season they achieved their greatest success yet. The club started by hiring Colombian
Diego Umaña after Reynoso resigned from the managing position. Under Umaña's direction, they returned as contenders for the title and successfully reached the finals of the
2011 Torneo Descentralizado. They lost the first leg at home 1–2 against Alianza Lima and were in danger of losing the chance to win their first professional championship. Surprisingly, in the second leg they held their own against Alianza at the
Estadio Alejandro Villanueva and achieved a narrow 1–0 win with a memorable goal from
Ysrael Zúñiga in the second half. As both teams had won a match of the finals, a third leg was forced to be played in the
Estadio Nacional. A scoreless draw at the Nacional led to a penalty shootout. The final score of the shootout was 3–1 in favor of Juan Aurich. They were the first club outside the
Lima Region to win the Torneo Descentralizado since
FBC Melgar in 1981. ==Colors and badge==
