The Club Deportivo Audaz Octubrino is a professional soccer team from the city of Machala in Ecuador. Its stadium is called "9 de Mayo" and has a capacity of about 10 000 people. In Copa America 1996 it staged some group stage games.
The best ever success for Audaz came about in the 1987- season being its president Teofilo Oyola Cevallos ,when they finished 3rd in the Ecuadorian league, only losing out to Barcelona Sporting Club (Guayaquil) and Filanbanco (Milagro). That season Audaz was renowned as especially strong at home, beating, among others, El Nacional, Barcelona and Club Sport Emelec. Audaz Octubrino won the Ecuadorian B-league in 2000 and then played one season in the premier league. Since then it didn't do too well.
In march 2006 the club ceased to exist due to financial problems, having been in debt of more than 130 000 US dollars. The city of Machala was left without professional soccer team for the first time since the foundation of Audaz in 1948.
