Non-City ... Alfonso Ugarte Football Club

Bored and looking around the internet I found a football club bearing the family name of Ugarte. They are based in the Peru in the city of Puno and they are called, Alfonso Ugarte Football Club also known has Alfonso Ugarte de Puno who play at the Estadio Enrique Torres Belón (Capacity: 20,000) stadium. There nickname is the 'Red Devils' could do without that I would prefure them playing in Blue.  They play in the Copa Peru a kind of three division better explained by Wikipedia below
The Copa Perú is a football tournament in Peru. Despite its name, it is not entirely an elimination-cup competition, but rather a series of league tournaments done within a year whose ultimate level is an elimination round. It guarantees its winner promotion to the professional First Division and its runner-up promotion to the promotional Second Division.
They finish mid table last season but the fans are expecting more this upcoming season with new major investment into the club. Peru's Tank Corporation is to pump cash looking for promotion to the second division and then the goal is the Peruian Premier League.

Alfonso Ugarte has had a long standing rivalry with Diablos Rojos and Unión Carolina.
