Cuniburo Fútbol Club is an Ecuadorian professional football club from the city of Cayambe. Founded on 11 April 1992 they play in the Serie B.
History
Founded on 11 April 1992, Cuniburo only reached the Segunda Categoría in 2008, where they narrowly missed out promotion in the final rounds.
After not competing in the 2021 season due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Cuniburo returned to an active status for the 2022 season, with a new board and with a new manager being Argentine Germán Corengia. In that year, they won the Segunda Categoría and achieved promotion to the Serie B for the first time ever.
Cuniburo finished the 2023 Serie B in the third place, only three points behind Imbabura. On 13 October 2024, the club achieved a first-ever promotion to the Serie A after a 2–0 win over San Antonio [es], and lifted the trophy three days later, after a 5–2 routing of 9 de Octubre.
