Team Info
Racing Club de Avellaneda, one of Argentina's traditional "Big Five," is based in Avellaneda, Buenos Aires Province, and competes in the Primera División. Their home is the Estadio Presidente Juan Domingo Perón, commonly called El Cilindro. Founded in 1903, the club's colors are light blue and white. Racing earned the nickname *La Academia* (The Academy) for its stylish play in early domestic football. The club's golden era arrived in the 1960s, winning the Primera División in 1961 and, most famously, becoming the first Argentine club to win the Copa Libertadores in 1967, followed by the Intercontinental Cup the same year. After a long title drought, Racing experienced a renaissance in the 21st century, securing several league titles, including the 2014 Primera División championship. Currently, Racing is a consistent force at the top of Argentine football, known for an attacking style and a squad featuring both established Argentine internationals and promising youngsters. The fan base is massive and passionate, filling El Cilindro with an electrifying atmosphere. Racing Club stands as a historic institution with a renewed competitive edge.
