History

The team was founded on 21 May 1978 by the merger of Cavancha and Estrella de Chile.{{cite web |url =http://www.anfp.cl/noticia/21084/club-deportes-iquique-celebra-36-anos-de-historia |title = Club Deportes Iquique celebra 36 años de historia | work = ANFP | date = 21 April 2014 | access-date = 26 July 2015}} The following year Iquique competed in the Segunda División, winning it and securing promotion to the Campeonato Nacional.{{cite web | url = http://www.elhincha.cl/noticias/deportes-iquique-la-historia-de-los-dragones-celestes/ | title = Deportes Iquique, la historia de los Dragones Celestes | work = Elhincha.cl | date = 23 February 2014 | access-date = 1 August 2015 | archive-date = 23 September 2015 | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20150923235406/http://www.elhincha.cl/noticias/deportes-iquique-la-historia-de-los-dragones-celestes/ | url-status = dead }}{{cite web |url =https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ku-LVfw8dTg |title = Deportes Iquique 2 – Ferroviarios 1 (1979) | access-date = 1 August 2015}}

In its first season at top level, the club finished in 14th place out of eighteen teams and won the Copa Polla Gol, beating Colo-Colo in the final at the Estadio Nacional.{{cite web |url =http://www.estrellaiquique.cl/prontus4_nots/site/artic/20090404/pags/20090404001009.html |title = Iquique quiere revivir la historia | publisher = Estrella de Iquique | date = 4 April 2009 | access-date = 1 August 2015}}{{cite web |url =https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yKWNuUXrvFQ |title = Deportes Iquique campeón Copa Polla Gol 1980 | access-date = 1 August 2015}}

Between 1981 and 1987, Iquique remained in mid-table positions. In 1988, they reached the qualifying stages of the 1989 Copa Libertadores after finishing in third place in the league. However, they lost to Colo-Colo in the final of the qualification tournament.{{cite web |url = http://www.cdf.cl/cdf/site/artic/20150204/pags/20150204123124.html |title = La receta de Don Nelson para un Iquique glorioso | publisher = CDF | date = 27 August 2014 | access-date = 1 August 2015}} That season, Juan José Oré was the tournament's leading goalscorer with eighteen goals.{{cite web |url = http://depor.pe/futbol-peruano/juan-jose-ore-10-datos-tecnico-campeon-nanjing-2014-1023515 |title = Juan José Oré: 10 datos del técnico campeón en Nanjing 2014 | publisher = Depor.pe | date = 27 August 2014 | access-date = 1 August 2015}}

In 1991, following a poor campaign where the team finished in the bottom of the table, they were relegated to the second division. They returned to the top flight for one season in 1993, and again for two seasons in 1997.{{cite web |url = http://pasionceleste.cl/wp_Sitio02/index.php/2015/05/21/feliz-cumpleanos-dragon-historia-en-37-datos/ |title = Feliz cumpleaños Dragón: Historia en 37 datos | publisher = La Tercera | date = 29 September 2009 | access-date = 1 August 2015}}{{cite web |url = http://www.latercera.com/contenido/82_71737_9.shtml |title = Primera B: Iquique se "codea con los grandes" tras 10 años | publisher = La Tercera | date = 10 November 2008 | access-date = 1 August 2015}} However, in 2002, the club was relegated to the third division and then declared bankruptcy.
