The Club Atlético Rosario Central , shortly Rosario Central , is a football club from Rosario , Santa Fe Province , Argentina .
history
The Central Argentine Railway Athletic Club was founded on December 24, 1889 by English railroad workers. Colin Calder was the first club president. After the "Central Argentine Railway" merged with the "Buenos Aires Railway" in 1903, the name was changed to Club Atlético Rosario Central .
The original kit colors were red and white. They were later changed to blue and white, before the colors blue and yellow, which are still valid today, were introduced. The team initially played in the local Rosario league. In 1939, together with city rivals Newell's Old Boys , they entered the Argentine league. In the years 1942 and 1951, the club had to relegate, but could achieve promotion again in the next season.
In 1971 and 1973, Rosario Central won the Argentine Championship ( Nacional ). In the 1974 season, Mario Kempes moved from Instituto Atlético Central Córdoba to Central. The next title was only achieved after the transfer from Kempes to Valencia CF. With the former player Ángel Tulio Zof as coach, Central won the championship again in 1980 ( Nacional ).
The club had to relegate in 1985. Rosario Central returned to the top division in the next 1986/87 season and even won the championship ( Metropolitano ). Central was the first team in Argentina to win the championship title as a promoted team.
In 1995 Rosario Central won the Copa Conmebol , the only international title to date.
