Club Almagro is a sports club from Argentina. Its main office is in the Almagro area of Buenos Aires. However, its football stadium is located in José Ingenieros. The club's football team currently plays in the Primera Nacional. This is the second-highest football league in Argentina. The team is often called Tricolor because of its three main colors.
Club History
Club Almagro was started on January 6, 1911. It began in the Almagro neighborhood of Buenos Aires. The club still has sports places there for its members. But the football stadium, which can hold 19,000 people, is in José Ingenieros. This area is part of Greater Buenos Aires.
In 1919, there was a big change in Argentine football. Two different leagues were playing at the same time. One of Almagro's older teams, called Columbian, was in the official league. Columbian was having money problems. So, Club Almagro suggested they join together. Columbian agreed to this idea.
Because of this, Almagro changed its name to "Sportivo Almagro". This helped the club keep playing in the top division. They started playing under their new name in the seventh game of the season.
Almagro played in the first division for one year in 1938. They earned this spot by winning the second division tournament. Later, in 1968, the team won another second division tournament. But they had to play in a special playoff with other teams and did not get promoted that year.
The Tricolores have spent most of their time in the second division. They also played a few years in the third division. In 2000 and 2004, they won promotion to the Primera División. This is Argentina's top football league. However, both times, they were sent back down to the second division after only one season.
In 2000, Almagro returned to the Primera División. They won against Instituto de Córdoba in the promotion playoffs. The final score was 2–1 over two games.
