The Sport Boys Association, commonly referred to as the Sport Boys or simply the Boys, is a Peruvian association football club based in the port city of Callao, founded on 28 July 1927. The Boys currently participate in the Peruvian Primera División, the top flight of the Peruvian football league system, and are based in Estadio Miguel Grau alongside two other clubs in Callao, Academia Cantolao and Universidad de San Martín de Porres. Their biggest rivalry is with Atlético Chalaco, known among fans as the Clásico Porteño.

The Sport Boys are historically considered the fourth most prominent club of Peruvian football with 6 national titles and the most continental appearances after Lima's big three clubs, Universitario, Sporting Cristal and Alianza Lima. Their most recent title was in 1984, where they beat Colegio Nacional Iquitos to qualify for the 1985 Copa Libertadores. This was the first title in the professional era of Peru's top flight.[1]

The Boys' original uniform had red and yellow stripes before they switched to the current pink and black color scheme. They are also the first football club in Peru to feature cheerleading.
