===First seasons===
On 5 May 1979, Cobresal was officially founded as an [[Amateur football|amateur club]], with Luis Sugarret as the first president. The club began to play friendly matches in preparation for the first game of the club against a professional team.

On 14 December 1979, Cobresal postulated to the [[Asociación Nacional de Fútbol Profesional de Chile|National Association of Professional football]] for play in the [[Primera B (Chile)|Second Division]]. For this was necessary that the Club Deportivo Hospital, a club of [[El Salvador, Chile|El Salvador]], a mining camp of the [[Atacama Region]], offered its affiliation to the [[Asociación Nacional de Fútbol Amateur|ANFA]].

When Cobresal postulated for play in the [[Primera B (Chile)|Second division]], one of the requirements was an appropriate stadium with a grass field. This was a great problem for the club, because [[El Salvador, Chile|El Salvador]] is located in the middle of the [[Atacama Desert]] it would be expensive to place grass. But the directive and the population's people achieved the construction of a new stadium that would have grass in the zone of the Sausalito field. Finally, after nearly a year of construction, [[Estadio El Cobre|El Cobre Stadium]] was opened on 1 June 1980.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.worldstadiums.com/south_america/countries/chile.shtml |title=Stadiums in Chile |publisher=Worldstadiums.com |access-date=21 September 2011 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130117012801/http://www.worldstadiums.com/south_america/countries/chile.shtml |archive-date=17 January 2013 |url-status=dead }}</ref>

Years later, the capacity was increased to 20,752 persons to conform with [[CONMEBOL]] rules due to the participation of Cobresal in the [[1986 Copa Libertadores]], despite the village's population being only a third of the stadium's capacity. In 1999, the artificial lights were installed to facilitate television broadcasts. The current capacity is 12,000 people, due to the elimination of standing-only zones for security reasons.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.estadioseguro.gob.cl/estadio/el-cobre.html |title=Estadios &#124; Estadio Seguro |access-date=4 April 2017 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170404130624/http://www.estadioseguro.gob.cl/estadio/el-cobre.html |archive-date=4 April 2017 |url-status=dead }}</ref>
