The Club Atlético Independiente (in German: "Independent Sports Club") is a football club from Avellaneda , an industrial suburb of the Argentine capital in the province of Buenos Aires . The two-time World Cup winner is the record winner of the Copa Libertadores with seven titles won between 1964 and 1984 .

After Boca Juniors and River Plate and Racing Club , Independiente is the fourth most successful club in the first division of Argentina with 16 championship titles . Local neighbor Racing is the “arch rival” of the “red devils”. The two stadiums are less than 300 meters apart and the Avellaneda Derby is the game of the year for fans.

The founding meeting of the Diablos Rojos (red devils) took place on January 1, 1905. However, not enough members were present, and so the formal act of founding was postponed to March 25, 1905. The first club president was Aristides Langone.
