Club Deportivo Panta Walon is a futsal club located in the Bellavista District, in Callao, Peru. They play in the Liga Futsal Pro, the top tier division of the Peruvian futsal league system, and have won a total of 8 titles.[1]
Deportivo Panta was founded on July 16, 2000, in the district of Bellavista, Callao, with the name of Panta NPA within the Panta family at the initiative of José Panta. That same year he registered, participated and was champion of the Bellavista Futsal District League. Some time later the club briefly ventured into street football.[2]
In 2010 the club bought Deportivo Ingeniería's place in the División de Honor and began to participate professionally. That same year it closed a commercial agreement with Universidad César Vallejo, which became its main sponsor. However, the agreement did not last long and in 2012 they joined forces with the sports brand Walon Sport and as a consequence the club changed its name to Panta Walon.[3]
Since his debut in 2010, Panta has played in ten División de Honor finals. They won the championship eight times (2010, 2011, 2013, 2014,[4] 2017,[5] 2018, 2022 and 2023), defeating his classic rival Primero de Mayo on three of them (2013, 2017 and 2018) and lost three finals (2012, 2015,[6] 2016[7]), all of them with Primero de Mayo. There were also champion of the summer tournaments in 2013 and 2014[8] and won the Torneo Apertura in 2018.
Panta has participated in the Copa Libertadores de Futsal in six occasions (2015, 2017,[9] 2018,[10] 2019,[11] 2022 and 2023). Despite being local champion in 2010 and 2013, they could not participate in 2011 and 2014 since the tournament in the North Zone was not organized. The Cup was not played in 2012, they did not qualify for the 2014 edition, so it was finally runner-up in the 2014 División de Honor which allowed them to qualify for the 2015 Copa Libertadores in which it reached the semifinals of the North Zone. Its best result was achieved in the 2019 edition in which it reached 4th place.[12] [13] [14] In 2022 the team reached the quarterfinals in the Copa Libertadores de Futsal, losing in that instance to Cerro Porteño of Paraguay. Their participation in the local tournament began on May 31, beating Palermo FC 4–2. In the semifinals they faced Hermanos Rey, whom they defeated by an aggregate score of 4–1, thus winning the right to play the final against Universitario de Deportes. The first leg of the final was played on October 25, the result was a two-goal tie,[15] everything was decided in the second leg on October 27. Panta would defeat Universitario 3-0 and became champion for the seventh time in its history.[16] [17]
