Argentinos Juniors

Asociación Atlética Argentinos, popularly known as Argentinos Juniors or simply Argentinos, is a centenarian multi-sport institution founded on 15 August 1904 in the La Paternal neighbourhood, Autonomous City of Buenos Aires, Argentina. It competes in the Superliga Argentina.

Its most prominent discipline is football, in which it is recognised by FIFA as one of the 11 classic clubs of Argentina, and it is known above all as a club that has produced numerous footballers of international standing such as Diego Armando Maradona, Fernando Redondo, Juan Román Riquelme, Claudio Borghi, Esteban Cambiasso, Sergio Batista, Juan Pablo Sorin, Fernando Cáceres, Leonel Gancedo, Diego Placente, Nicolás Pareja, Néstor Ortigoza, Lucas Biglia, Lucas Barrios, Federico Insúa, Leonardo Pisculichi, Andrés D'Alessandro and Fabricio Coloccini (among others). For this reason, it is recognised by both the AFA and the specialised press as the "Semillero del Mundo" ("Nursery of the World").

It has 3 properties of its own in the city of Buenos Aires totalling 15 hectares, for its many social, cultural, recreational and sporting activities: the "Las Malvinas" Multi-sport Complex in the La Paternal neighbourhood, the Training and Development Centre for Amateur Football (CEFFA) in Bajo Flores, and its football stadium, the "Diego Armando Maradona", located in La Paternal.

In its history it has won 3 titles in the Argentine Primera División, becoming champion for the first time in the 1984 Primera División Championship. It would later win the 1985 Nacional and subsequently the 2010 Clausura. Internationally it was the fifth of the eight Argentine teams to win the Copa Libertadores de América, having won it in its first participation, in 1985, which allowed it to take part in the Intercontinental Cup (which it lost on penalties to Juventus of Italy in what FIFA designated as the best match in the history of that competition) and the Copa Interamericana, which it won in December 1986. It also reached the semi-finals of both the 1989 Supercopa and the 2008 Copa Sudamericana.

It is the twelfth team in the all-time table of the Argentine Primera División and has played the majority of its seasons in that division.
