6 football clubs with cricketing origins

#4 Lima Cricket and Football Club

Lima Cricket and Football Club is a Peruvian sports club based in the city of Lima. Having been founded by English immigrants in the 19th century, it is one of the oldest clubs not just in Peru but in entire Latin America.

Right from the start, the club played both cricket and football in addition to rugby union. Although rugby union is not played anymore, the two sports mentioned before continue to be played and thrive in the Peruvian capital. Cricket and football naturally remain the focus of the club, but other sports like basketball, tennis and field hockey have also been played in recent years, making it a truly multi-sport club.
