[edit]The Mariscal Braun Club was founded on August 25, 1952 by the workers of the Cervecería Boliviana Nacional (CBN), the name is a tribute to marshal Otto Philipp Braun.

In the Amateur era of football, Club Mariscal Braun won its first title in the La Paz Football Association in the year 1982 after beating Litoral. In 1988, Mariscal Braun achieved his second star at the expense of Chaco Petrolero. Starting in the late 1980s, it was where the 'Cervecero' team began to position itself among the best teams in the city, demonstrating identity and good team play.
For four consecutive years (from 1990 to 1994), Mariscal Braun was runner-up in the AFLP tournament after losing in the finals against Litoral, Chaco Petrolero (twice) and Always Ready . The 'Blanquinegro' team began to establish itself among the best. Finally, in 1996 and 1998 the story of achieving 2 more sub-championships is repeated. La Paz F.C. (Former Atlético Gonzales) and Litoral were the executioners in those exciting finals. It was from the following year, where the destiny of the club would change.
In 1999, under the presidency of Dr. Luis Alípaz, Mariscal Braun achieved his third title in the AFLP, after beating Litoral. That same year he participated in the 'Simón Bolívar' promotion tournament where he won the runner-up position (defeat on penalties) against Club Atlético Pompeya. Despite this, the 'Cervecero' team manages to win the indirect relegation in a dramatic final to San José, in the first leg they lost in Oruro 1:0 and in the return manages to win 2:1 in the Global they were even (2:2) so it was defined in the penalty kicks where Braun was victorious by 4 to 3 and manages to climb to the Bolivian Primera División for the first time.
