O'Higgins Fútbol Club is a professional football club from Rancagua, Chile, representing the O'Higgins Region. Founded in 1955 following the merger of O'Higgins Braden and América de Rancagua, the club is commonly known as O'Higgins de Rancagua and carries the nickname “El Capo de Provincia.” The club's professional football operations are organised through O'Higgins S.A.D.P., a Chilean Sociedad Anónima Deportiva Profesional. O'Higgins has traditionally played its home matches at Estadio El Teniente in Rancagua and is closely connected with the region's mining heritage, particularly the El Teniente copper mine. The club achieved its most significant sporting success by winning the 2013 Apertura championship, its first top-flight national title, and subsequently won the 2014 Supercopa de Chile. O'Higgins also has a strong focus on youth development and operates a football academy and youth teams through its Fútbol Joven structure. Its Monasterio Celeste sports centre in Requínoa serves as an important training and development facility for the club. The organisation also operates women's football and community-oriented programmes, seeking to use sport as a means of education, development and regional integration. O'Higgins' stated mission is to provide sporting opportunities and generate pride and emotion for the community of the O'Higgins Region while developing elite athletes and promoting values such as perseverance, courage, commitment, unity, loyalty and professionalism. The club's official headquarters are at Cuevas 226 in Rancagua, while its Monasterio Celeste complex is located in Requínoa. O'Higgins continues to combine professional football, youth development, women's football, community engagement and regional identity as it competes in Chilean national competitions.
