Racing Club de Avellaneda

Racing Club is a professional sports club based in Avellaneda, Argentina. The institution is mostly known for its football team, which competes in the Primera División, the top tier of the Argentine football league system. Founded in 1903, the club joined the Argentine Football Association two years later and played its home matches at Alsina y Colón, the current site of its stadium, El Cilindro. Historically, it is regarded as one of the Big Five of Argentine football.

History
The club was officially established on 25 March 1903 under the name Foot Ball Racing Club was officially founded. Racing affiliated to Argentine Football Association (AFA) in 1905 and began to compete in the lower division championships organised by the body. After a failed attempt to promote to Primera División at hands of River Plate, Racing finally promoted in 1910 after defeating Boca Juniors in the final. The 1910s was a golden age for Racing so the team won a seven consecutive league titles (a record that remains unmatched to present days) between 1913 Argentine Primera División and 1919. Besides, Racing won nine national cups and two Rioplatense cups to totalise 18 titles won within the decade. That huge success earned the club the nickname "Academia" (Academy of football), known for a creole style of play that set the standard and taught its rivals how the game should be played. == Stadium ==
Stadium
Racing's stadium history reflects its growth and challenges over time. Around the early 1900s, the club relocated to a new pitch on Miguel O'Gorman Street (now 25 de Mayo). This ground featured a modest wooden structure affectionately known as La Caseta Multifunción (The Multipurpose Booth), which served various practical roles during the club’s early years. However, due to frequent flooding at this location, Racing returned in 1906 to its previous grounds at Alsina y Colón. Following the 1946 season, when the government of Juan Perón, through Finance Minister Ramón Cereijo, granted a loan to build a more modern venue, the team left this stadium. In 1950, Racing inaugurated its current home, Estadio Presidente Perón (President Perón Stadium) and popularly known as El Cilindro (The Cylinder). Today, it stands as the second largest stadium in Argentina, behind only River Plate’s Monumental. ==Players==
