Racing club

Racing Club, popularly known as The Academy, is a sports center based in Avellaneda, a city located in Greater Buenos Aires, Argentina. It was founded as a soccer club on March 25, 1903, with the particularity of being the first Argentine club created entirely by Creoles.

The colors that identify the institution are light blue and white, used in honor of the national colors of the Argentine Republic.

Its main sporting activity is men's soccer, which is played in the Professional Soccer League, although it also competes at a professional level in other sports such as women's soccer, basketball, futsal, hockey, and beach soccer; while tennis, boxing, volleyball, handball, judo, figure skating, aikido, artistic gymnastics, taekwondo, muay thai, sibpalki, athletics, swimming and ornamental diving are practiced at an amateur level.

In the amateur era it won nine local championships, seven of them in a row, being the first team in the world to be seven-time champion, the only Argentine team and the only one from the entire continent in history (in 1913, 1914, 1915, 1916, 1917, 1918 and 1919); added to two more tournaments in 1921 and 1925. Of these nine championships in total, five of them were achieved undefeated. He also collected nine national cups in that era (five Dr. Carlos Ibarguren Cup and four Honor Cup), being the top winner of both competitions; and three international cups (two Aldao Cup and one Cusenier Honor Cup).

As a result of all these achievements, it received the popular nickname “The National Football Academy”, which identifies it to this day.

In the professional era, which began in 1931, he won another nine championships (1949, 1950, 1951, 1958, 1961, 1966, 2001, 2014 and 2019); another six national cups (Beccar Varela Cup, Competition Cup, British Competition Cup, Super League Champions Trophy, Professional League Champions Trophy and the International Super Cup); and three other international cups (Copa Libertadores de América, Intercontinental Cup and Supercopa Sudamericana).

In this era, in addition, it was consecrated as the first Argentine team to achieve a three-time local championship, the first Argentine world champion, the first champion of champions of America, the champion of the most extensive Copa Libertadores of America in history and the first Super League champion of champions.

Statistically, it is the fourth Argentine team with the most titles in history (39), it is the second team with the most national cups (15), it is the third team with the most Argentine soccer championships (18) and it is the fourth team with the most international cups (6).

It is considered one of the so-called five greats of Argentine soccer, from the moment the AFA ordered the implementation of the so-called "proportional vote" in 1937, which consisted of giving greater decision-making power to those clubs with the largest number of partners, seniority, call and number of titles. Of the five big ones, he was the first to win a national cup and the first to win an international cup.

His classic rival is Club Atlético Independiente, with whom he disputes the Avellaneda Clásico. The rest of the teams considered big (Boca Juniors, River Plate and San Lorenzo de Almagro) are also historical rivals of the club and the matches it plays with them are also considered classic.

The club has two social headquarters: the main one in Avellaneda and an annex in the Villa del Parque neighborhood, in the City of Buenos Aires. It also has a total of 160 subsidiaries, of which 25 of them are abroad.

History

For full development see Racing Club Chronology of Avellaneda

It all began in 1898, in the Barracas al Sud neighborhood (today Avellaneda) when some young workers from the Ferrocarril Sud began to get together to practice soccer. On May 12, 1901, they formed the Football Club Barracas al Sud, which a year later, on March 16, 1902, would fragment to form the Colorados Unidos del Sud. After reaching a peace agreement between the two institutions because none of them achieved the desired flight alone, they would be convinced that they should come together in a single, larger and more powerful club. This is how, in a meeting held on March 25, 1903, one of the young members of both clubs: Germán Vidaillac, of French descent, would show those present a car magazine from the Gallic country whose cover read the word: RACING. The motion would be resoundingly approved by all, thus the Racing Football Club would be formed, with its statute approved on February 7, 1904 and Arturo Artola being its first President. In 1905, the club would affiliate with the Argentine Football Association, becoming the first purely Creole registered institution. On December 18, 1910, after winning the second division final against Boca Juniors 2-1 in front of 4,000 people, Racing was promoted to the Argentine First Division, precisely on the Centennial of the May Revolution, changing its colors in homage to the same as the Argentine flag: light blue and white.

Symbols

Since the year it was founded (1903) the club used different symbols to identify its official documentation. This can be verified in the first minute book of the club, where its pages are sealed with a laureate shield inside which there is a ball from the beginning of the century XX surrounded by the legend «Foot Ball Racing Club – Barracas al Sud», the name that the current Avellaneda received until 1904. This seal is the first sign of identity in the history of Racing. Years later, in 1912, as documented in the club's official correspondence, a similar version appeared with the same disposition of the previous seal, with other laurels and the inscription "Racing Foot Ball Club - Avellaneda". With the run of the 10s, the first photographs with racinguista symbols appear, in which a monogram made up of the initials "R.C." in an intertwined way. Starting in 1928, the final official coat of arms of the institution was disseminated, which would continue practically unchanged to this day. It has a design in the shape of a modern French shield, with 7 interspersed vertical stripes (4 light blue and 3 white), and the word "Racing" in capital letters at the top.

All the historic shields of the Avellaneda Racing Club.

The colors that identify Racing Club are the celestial and white in honor of the patriotic colors of the Argentine Republic.

Clothing

For full development see Uniform of the Racing Club of Avellaneda

The first shirt of the institution was white to reduce costs. On July 23, 1904, through an assembly, it was decided that more colorful clothing should be used. For this reason, a yellow and black cane was designed, but its similarity with the Uruguayan Peñarol shirt encouraged its change after only a week of its debut with these colors. The second shirt proposed by Don Alejandro Carbone, was light blue and salmon checkered and was used until 1908. The third shirt was blue with a white stripe on the chest and was used until 1910 (the year in which promotion to the first division was achieved). winning the final against Boca). Finally Pedro Werner proposed in a new assembly after the promotion in 1910 to use, in honor of the centenary of the Primera Junta, the national colors of the Argentine flag.

Its previous denominations arose because its structure is cylindrical, perfectly round and gives a 360º turn. It is located on Mozart and Corbatta streets in the town of Avellaneda in the south of Greater Buenos Aires. It is the first stadium in Argentina to have all of its stands covered. It is also the second largest stadium in the country. Between the Racing Club and Independiente stadiums, there are only 3 blocks away (300 meters) that separate them.

The dimensions of the playing field are 105 × 70 meters. Initially, it housed up to 120,000 people, but various renovations reduced that capacity, and today there is a capacity for 17,000 spectators in the upper tray, 6,000 seats between preferential stalls and boxes in the central areas of the lower tray and 30 000 popular standing room seats: 19,000 on south header and lower tray sides; 2,000 in the upper south tray and 9,000 visitors in the north.

In that year, within the framework of date 21 of the First Division Championship, the current stadium was inaugurated, with a capacity for 120,000 people, in a match against Vélez Sársfield where the Academy would win by the slightest difference. In 1966 new lighting towers were inaugurated (the best in South America), for which an international friendly (Siemmens Cup) was played against the world famous Bayern Munich team of Franz Beckenbauer, Gerd Müller and Sepp Maier, ending 3-2. in favor of José's Team.
