学生体育俱乐部

The club was established at the initiative of a group of students of Escuela Normal Juan Pringles, on June 20, 1920. After commemorating the anniversary of Manuel Belgrano's death, they met to form a club, being Carlos Pino elected as president. The club was named "Sportivo Estudiantes" ("students" in Spanish), adopting the green and white colors that represented hope and purity respectively.^[]

The Government of San Luis donated the club a land on Constitución street of the city. In August 1920 the "Unión Puntana de Football" (current Liga Sanluiseña) was established, being Estudiantes the first champion ever. The format was a single round-robin tournament, with all the games played at "Cancha del Internado" (located in the Infantry Regiment of the city).^[]

Estudiantes' first venue was located on Bolívar street, between Sucre and San Juan streets. Estudiantes became the first club in the city to have its own stadium.

In the 2000s, Sportivo Estudiantes was notable for having won 3 consecutive promotions to upper divisions, starting with the 2012 Torneo Argentino C (5th division) championship until its most recent achievement when the team got promotion to the 2nd division, Primera B Nacional, in November 2014. With only one fixture remaining to the end of the Torneo Federal A season, Estudiantes qualified to play in the second division after winning Andino de La Rioja by 1–0.
