A memorable 1996 Copa Libertadores run. Twelve time Chilean First Division champions. Notable ex-players such as Marcelo Salas, David Pizarro, Faustino Asprilla, and Flavio Maestri. These are a few of the distant memories of the Universidad de Chile soccer team which is currently going through its lowest moments. Despite its history, “La U” has put up with dismal results, bankruptcy, and even a cancelled match due to termite infestation. Uncertainty now roams the club after zero bids were placed yesterday to buy the beleaguered club. Creditors are undergoing intense negotiations today in order to seek a resolution before a June 12th or the club will be dissolved.
