Kimberley de Mar del Plata

Club Atlético Kimberley, better known simply as Kimberley, is an Argentine sports club founded on 6 July 1921. Among the activities it is devoted to are football (mainly), basketball, swimming, futsal, roller skating and taekwondo, among others. Club Atlético Kimberley is one of the most important institutions in the city of Mar del Plata.

In football, it has taken part in the Primera División on six occasions, one of its greatest feats being the 5-0 thrashing of champion Independiente in 1970. It currently takes part in the Torneo Federal A (third tier). It is also the record champion of the Liga Marplatense de Fútbol with 17 championships won. It was also champion of the 2013 Torneo del Interior and of the 2023/24 Torneo Regional Federal Amateur.

In basketball it is affiliated with the Asociación Marplatense de Básquetbol, where it has won 10 official titles, making it the third most successful club behind Unión and Quilmes, and it takes part in the Liga Federal de Básquet of the Confederación Argentina de Básquetbol (CAB). It was also the first club in the city to sign foreign players to compete in the Asociación Marplatense de Básquetbol tournament, with the acquisition of the American Reed Rickie in 1975.

The team became known outside its country for a curious reason: for the 1978 FIFA World Cup the France national football team did not have its official kit and had to use the shirt of the Mar del Plata club to play against the Hungary national football team; this was to avoid confusing the kits on black-and-white televisions. In that match, the France national team ended up beating Hungary 3 goals to 1 wearing Kimberley's colors. It was the fourth time that a local team lent clothing to a national team. One of the shirts used in that match is in the FIFA Museum, and the fate of the remaining garments is a mystery. It is also a club known for lending its sports facilities to important Argentine Primera División teams and facing them during the typical summer pre-seasons.
