About Argentinos Juniors in brief
Argentine football club Argentinos Juniors is based in La Paternal, Buenos Aires. The club currently plays in the Argentine Primera División. It is one of the eight Argentine first division teams that have won the Copa Libertadores. The most remarkable sign of this team is the power of its youth teams, which unveiled some of the most talented footballers in Argentinian football history, with Diego Maradona as the greatest example of all. It has been described as \”one of Argentina’s most distinctive football clubs\”. The club was founded in the Villa Crespo neighbourhood of Buenos Aires on 14 August 1904, by a group of anarchist boys that were part of club \”Mártires de Chicago\” The club immediately adopted the red and white colors as an homage to deputy Alfredo Palacios, the first congressman elected from the Socialist Party in Argentina. In 1921 the team secured promotion to the top division, making its debut in the 1922 season, where Argentinos finished 6th. In 1943 Hector Ingunza made his first appearance to become the top scorer in the club’s history with 143 goals. In 1954 Argentinos secured the highest scoring team by far, making it the highest team in the team’s history by far scoring by far. In 1955 the team won the competition after a 7-0 victory over rivals Boca Juniors. The team was recognized as one of the most important football teams of South America by FIFA. The first match played by Argentino Juniors was against Club La Prensa, which it lost by a catastrophic scoreline of 12–1.
In 1931 Argentinos joined 17 other clubs in forming a breakaway professional league, a move that marked the beginning of the professional era of Argentine football. In 1934 the amateur league was broken up and Argentina once again had a unified first division. In 1940 Argentinos enjoyed a good campaign in a new stadium, which culminated in winning the 2nd division, but the club were not allowed promotion because their ground did not meet the requirements of the PrimeraDivision. In 1948 Argentinos suffered another injustice at the hands of the AFA when they had to play at another ground, even though they had done so for several years in official games between 1943 and 1943. They eventually qualified to the end of season playoff for promotion to top league and were eventually abandoned after 7 rounds when a players strike interrupted the 11 rounds of the competition. They finished 2nd in the league having scored 88 goals instead of the 88 goals scored by the other teams. In 1951 the club was runner-up in 1926 behind champions BocaJuniors. In 1927 the two separate football associations were reunified and Argentinos played in a massive 34 team league. Later, the league was expanded to 36 and Argentino managed to keep its place until 1930. In 1937 Argentinos succumbed to relegation in 1937 after finishing second from bottom of the table. After a brief stunt in Villa Urquiza, the club returned to Caballito, then moving to Fraga and Estomba streets in Villa Ortúzar.
