Club Deportivo San Antonio Bulo Bulo is a Bolivian football club based in Entre Ríos, Cochabamba. Founded in 1962, they play in Primera División.

History

Founded on 31 October 1962, San Antonio won their first title in the Primera A AFC only in 2021.[2] They first appeared in the Copa Simón Bolívar in that year, being knocked out in the quarterfinals by García Agreda.[3]

After winning the Primera A title again in 2022, the club qualified to the 2023 Copa Simón Bolívar. In that competition, they reached the finals, facing GV San José,[4] but lost the title on penalties.[5] Six days after losing the title, however, they achieved promotion to the Primera División for the first time ever, after winning the promotion/relegation play-offs against Libertad Gran Mamoré.[6]
