History
Santiago City were founded in 2020 and entered the Chilean football leagues at tier 5 in the Tercera B. The club's president Jorge Sotomayor expressed a desire for the club to be promoted to the top tier. In their first season, they were promoted as champions. Their next season, they finished third in Tercera A. In November 2023, Sotomayor sold the club to a local lawyer. However, in December 2023 the Asociación Nacional de Fútbol Amateur de Chile (ANFA) suspended Santiago City for 3 years for failing to comply with media access requirements and for attempting to censor press coverage of the club. Specifically for cutting the electric cables that the media used. The club appealed against the sanction but their appeal was rejected and they were thrown out of the Tercera leagues. A further appeal in January 2024 to the ANFA Council of Presidents was successful and the ban was lifted.
