Corporación Deportiva de la Costa, better known as Deportivo UnicostaorUnicosta, was a professional Colombian football club based in Barranquilla, that played in the Categoría Primera A until its 1998 season. They played their home games at the Estadio Romelio Martínez.

History[edit]

Deportivo Unicosta was founded by businessman Enrique Chapman in 1995 and entered the Colombian second tier tournament Categoría Primera B that same year, earning promotion to Categoría Primera A by winning the 1996–97 Primera B tournament. There they topped the final group, placing ahead of Lanceros Boyacá, Deportivo Pasto, and Atlético Córdoba, and promotion was clinched with a draw in Tunja against Lanceros on 1 June 1997.[1][2]

Their first tournament in the top tier was the 1997 Adecuación, in which they only won four matches and barely managed to avoid relegation with a 3–2 away victory over Millonarios on the final day of the regular season.[3]

In the following season, Deportivo Unicosta placed last in the Torneo Apertura with 30 points in 36 matches and also last in the Torneo Finalización with 7 points in 14 matches, being relegated to Categoría Primera B.[4] The club folded in 1999, and its participation rights in DIMAYOR were sold to Deportivo Soledad, which replaced Unicosta in Primera B.[5]

Stadium[edit]

Deportivo Unicosta played its home matches at Estadio Romelio MartínezinBarranquilla, which had formerly been used by Junior.[6]
