Beginnings Founded in 2008 as
Club Inti Gas Deportes Ayacucho, the club took over from
Olímpico Somos Perú, which was then playing in the
Second division. Under the guidance of Colombian coach
Édgar Ospina, they reached the top flight as runners-up in the second division.
Inti Gas in 2009. In 2008, the club received sponsorship from the gas provider Inti Gas. They relocated to
Huamanga,
Ayacucho but they decided to play their home games in
Ica because another Second Division team already had their home ground in Ayacucho and security issues that have risen. They were runners-up of the
2008 Second Division and were promoted to the
2009 First Division. Ayacucho has recently sought to permanently keep the club in its city. However, because both teams drew on points, they entered the semi-finals of play-offs, against Sporting Cristal again. This time, Ayacucho lost 2–6 on aggregate, and placed third in the league. They would qualify for the Copa Libertadores for the first time but were eliminated by
Grêmio in the second stage. In the
2021 season, Ayacucho barely qualified for the
Copa Sudamericana and qualified for the Group Stage, after defeating
Sport Boys in the first stage. Ayacucho placed third is its group and was eliminated. 2022 would start the downfall of Ayacucho. In the Torneo Apertura of the
2022 season, Ayacucho placed last. On the aggregate table, they placed 17th, going to the relegation play-off, their only hope in staying in the Liga 1. Ayacucho played with
Unión Comercio, and lost 3–0 in the first leg but came back 2–1 in the second but still lost 2–4 on aggregate, getting relegated to the
Liga 2. In 2024, Ayacucho benefited from a court decision that required the
Peruvian Football Federation to reinstate the club in the 1st division from the
2025 season. But the experience was short-lived, the team was relegated back to the 2nd division at the end of the season. ==Stadium==
