Club History
Club Almagro was started on January 6, 1911. It began in the Almagro neighborhood of Buenos Aires. The club still has sports facilities there for its members. But its football stadium, which can hold 19,000 fans, is in José Ingenieros, Buenos Aires. 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, Columbian Football Club, was in one of these leagues. Columbian was having money problems. So, Club Almagro offered to join with them. This helped Columbian Football Club keep playing. After this, Almagro changed its name to "Sportivo Almagro." It continued to play in the top division.
Almagro played in the first division 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 extra games against top division teams. They did not win those games, so they did not get promoted that year.
The team, often called Tricolores, has spent most of its time in the second division. They also played a few years in the third division. In 2000 and 2004, Almagro won promotion to the Primera División. This is Argentina's top football league. However, both times, they were sent back down after just one season. In 2000, Almagro returned to the Primera División. They beat Instituto de Córdoba in special playoff games.
