Club Almagro is an Argentinesports club fromJosé Ingenieros, Buenos Aires, although its headquarters are in theAlmagro district. Thefootball team currently plays in thePrimera Nacional, the second division of theArgentine football league system.
Almagro was founded on 6 January 1911, in theAlmagro neighbourhood ofBuenos Aires. The club still has its sports facilities there for its members, but the football stadium (with a capacity of 19,000) is located inJosé Ingenieros, in theTres de Febrero Partido ofGreater Buenos Aires.[citation needed]
In1919 there was a new splitting in Argentine football, so both leagues were played at the same time: officialAsociación Argentina de Football (with one of Almagro predecessors,Columbian, as one of its teams) and dissident "Asociación Amateurs de Football". During that season, Columbian was going through a severe economic crisis, disputing its last game v.Boca Juniors in the 6th fixture. Some executives of recently promoted Club Almagro, led by Miguel de Zárate made Columbial a merger proposal, which was accepted.[citation needed]
Therefore, Almagro renamed "Sportivo Almagro" and continued playing in Primera División (debuting in the 7th fixture vsPlatense) under its new denomination, which avoided the club to be disaffiliated.[1][2][3][4][5][6][7]
Almagro played one year in first division in 1938 after winning the firstsecond division tournament that awarded a promotion. Later the team won the 1968 second division tournament, but had to participate in the "reclasificatorio" tournament with first division teams and other second division teams and didn't win promotion.[citation needed]
TheTricolores played most of the time in second division, a few years in third division, but in 2000 and 2004 they won the promotion to Primera División, only to be relegated both times after only one season playing at the top level.[citation needed]
In2000 Almagro returned to Primera División after beatingInstituto de Córdoba by 1–0 (2–1 on aggregate) at relegation playoffs (named "Promoción" in Argentina).[citation needed]
