The Club Universitario de Deportes has taken a big step in the advancement of Peruvian football with the inauguration of its High Performance Center, with which they will seek to exploit and improve the performance of their young players so that they can shine in the first team and subsequently be sold to foreign clubs.
The gyms and training rooms at these facilities not only have the appropriate equipment, but also display motivational phrases and images of players who shone in the cream shirt.

In one of the rooms, former "merengue" players Raúl Ruidíaz and Edison Flores can be seen, who wore the cream "skin" and won some titles.
The 'Pulga' was part of the team that won the championship in 2009 and 2013. Meanwhile, the 'Orejas' lifted the Copa Libertadores sub-20 in 2011.
