Alianza Petrolera is a professional soccer club based in Barrancabermeja, Colombia. Founded in 1991, the club has a relatively short but eventful history. They currently play their home matches at the Daniel Villa Zapata stadium, which has a capacity of around 10,000 spectators. Despite being a relatively young club, Alianza Petrolera has achieved some notable accomplishments. They have had successful campaigns in the Colombian second division, earning promotion to the top-flight league, Categoría Primera A, on multiple occasions. The club's nickname is "El Aurinegro," which translates to "The Gold and Black." This nickname is derived from their traditional team colors of gold and black. An interesting fact about Alianza Petrolera is that they have a strong connection to the oil industry, as their name suggests. Barrancabermeja, the city where the club is based, is known for its oil production, and the club's name reflects this local industry.
