The Club Atlético Peñarol - usually short Peñarol [ peɲaˈɾol ] and in German-speaking countries mostly called Peñarol Montevideo - (nicknames: Manyas , Aurinegros , Carboneros and Mirasoles ) is a sports club from the Uruguayan capital Montevideo , which is internationally known for its football department. With five wins at the Copa Libertadores and three world cups , Peñarol is one of the most successful football clubs in the world.

The origins of the club go back to the Central Uruguay Railway Cricket Club (CURCC), founded by British railroad workers on September 28, 1891 . Since 1915 the association has been called Peñarol , after the district of Montevideo of the same name . Since the first season, the club has played continuously in the highest performance class of Uruguayan football. In 1933 the first women's soccer game was also played . Since the establishment of a new system in 1996, with the exception of a few youth teams, it has not been possible to set up a women's team.

In addition to football, there are also departments for futsal and boxing . In the past, Peñarol was also extremely successful in basketball , motorcycle sports , cycling , show goal, chess , table tennis , pool and fencing . Numerous clubs around the world have adopted the name Peñarols over the years. The 39 most are located in small Uruguayan towns. There are 23 Peñarols in Argentina, 20 in the rest of America and three in Europe.

History of the football department

The early years

1891-1913: CURCC

Frank Henderson was the first President of the CURCC, serving from 1891 to 1899

Poster from 1900 announcing the game between Peñarol and Albion FC

The British Central Uruguay Railway had existed in Montevideo since 1878. On September 28, 1891, 118 workers and employees of the company founded the Central Uruguay Railway Cricket Club (CURCC) - 72 of them were British, one German and 45 Uruguayans. Even today, the club's players are known colloquially as “Englishmen”. In view of the fact that the name was too complicated to pronounce for the Spanish-speaking supporters, the name Peñarol was popularly established for the association after the settlement in front of Montevideo , the name of which in turn goes back to the Italian-born farmer Juan Bautista Crosa, who comes from the northern Italian city of Pinerolo came from. Just one year after it was founded in 1892, the football division emerged, which quickly replaced the original sports of cricket and rugby . The first game was played against a selection of an English high school and could be won 2-0 by the new club.

The CURCC crew in 1905

In 1895 Julio Negrón was appointed as the first Uruguayan team captain ; up to now the English had always taken on this task. In 1900, CURCC, together with Atlético Uruguay , the German Football Club and Albion FC, established the Associación Uruguaya de Fútbol (AUF) with the Uruguay Football Association League, making it the country's first amateur league. The first game on June 10, 1900, CURCC won 2-0 against Albion and the club's first official league goals were scored by Juan Peña and William Davies . It finally succeeded in securing the championship title - a success that could be repeated in 1901. In 1903, CURCC was the first team in the league to score more than ten goals in a game with a 12-0 win against Triunfo. After the first championship titles for Nacional and a one-year league break due to civil war-like conditions, the black and yellow also won the titles of 1905 and 1907. Until 1907, the chairmen of the Central Uruguay Railway were also club presidents, but the new chairman Charles W. Bayne referred to the continuing economic problems as well as the additional work for him and did not accept the post. This was the starting point of a long-standing conflict between the company and the association, which ultimately led to the separation of the former.

In 1908, CURCC left the league in protest against the new fixture list, but returned in 1909. In the same year there was a sensational incident when supporters of the CURCC set fire to a car intended to transport the players of the opposing teams. As a result, tensions in relation to the railway company intensified. After winning the championship in 1911, a commission of inquiry was convened with the aim of reforming individual areas of the association. The commission made proposals to also work with partners and players outside the company and at the same time proposed that the club be renamed Peñarol. This suburb of Montevideo was home to most of the Uruguayan workers on the Central Uruguay Railway and, in turn, was named after the northern Italian city of Pinerolo . In June 1913, these ideas were rejected at an association meeting because the board wanted to distance itself from prejudices about Peñarol, which had shaped the image of a socially weaker, violent suburb. In November of the same year, the fans of the football division were interviewed and it became apparent that they were willing to follow the club even in the event of a restructuring. The resulting motions were received by the board on November 15th. On December 13, 1913, the football division finally broke away from the railway company and was named CURCC Peñarol. A few months later, on March 12, 1914, it was officially renamed Club Atlético Peñarol, which was confirmed two days later by the UP and the government of Uruguay. Thus the club was listed as the legitimate successor of the CURCC.

1914–1931: Permanent dominance in the amateur league

The first few years under the new name were less successful for the club, although they could play at the top of the league. In 1915, 1916 and 1917 the second place in the table was achieved and during this time the opening of the Las Acacias stadium in 1916 was one of the club's historical highlights. In 1918 and 1920, the footballers managed to win the championship twice before the black and yellow split off from the AUF together with Central Español and the Montevideo Wanderers FC as a result of serious differences and founded the Federación Uruguaya de Football (FUF). This organized over a period of two seasons (1923 and 1924) a parallel running championship, which Peñarol was able to win in the second year. In retrospect, however, this victory is not counted as an official Uruguayan championship win. In 1926 the two league systems were reunited and the FUF was dissolved. Peñarol was able to secure the season that was played that year, but due to the transitional conditions prevailing at the time, it is only a Copa del Consejo provisional.

After a gaming tour through Europe for the first time in 1927 , Peñarol was also named Uruguay's most successful club in 1928 and 1929. Also in 1929, the club appointed Julio María Sosa as its first honorary president and played the following year in the first game at the Estadio Centenario , defeating Club Olimpia 1-0.

Professional era

1932–1957: First successes

On April 29, 1932, the AUF officially introduced professional football and the league was redesigned accordingly. The first game of the new era was played by Peñarol against River Plate Montevideo and at the end of the opening season the black and yellow were able to secure their first professional championship title - five points ahead of runner-up Rampla Juniors FC . After two second placements in the following years, the club achieved the rarity of four state championships in series in the years 1935 to 1938. The 1939 season was marked and overshadowed by the first ever strike by professional footballers in Uruguay, and in 1943 Peñarol acquired extensive outdoor facilities for sporting use. Five years later, in 1948, the Union of Mutualists of Uruguayan Footballers organized a major labor dispute, as a result of which the season had to be broken off. In 1955 the multi-purpose sports hall Palacio Peñarol opened on the land bought twelve years earlier . Overall, Peñarol secured eleven championship titles in the 26 years from 1932 to 1957.

1958–1968: Dominance in South America and the crown of the world

Player from CA Peñarol with the 1966 World Cup

The decade from 1958 to 1968 is the most successful and most titled in the history of the Manyas . Of the eleven national championships played, nine could be won, with 1958 to 1962 even winning five times in a row ( Quinquenio de Oro ) and equalizing the league record of rival Nacional (1939 to 1943). In 1960 Peñarol qualified as the reigning champion for the newly founded Copa Libertadores , which soon became the most important South American club soccer competition, comparable to the European UEFA Champions League . The club played its first game in this new mode on April 19, 1960 against the Bolivian club Jorge Wilstermann and won 7-1. The first goal of the game was also the first goal in the history of the Copa Libertadores and was scored by Peñarols Luis Borges. After defeating CA San Lorenzo de Almagro in the semifinals, the team from Montevideo also won the final against the Paraguayan club Olimpia and was officially the best team on the South American continent.

Cheering players from CA Peñarol winning the Copa Libertadores in 1966

The mood was clouded by the clear defeat (0-0 and 1: 5) in the final of the newly created World Cup against the winner of the European Cup, Real Madrid , but Peñarol managed to rise to the top in 1961. A little less than a year after triumphing at the Copa Libertadores, the club also managed to win the second edition. Towards the end of the same year, after three play-offs (0: 1, 5: 0, 2: 1) against Benfica, they finally won the World Cup. For the Copa alignment in 1962, the defending champion Peñarol was the clear favorite, but the club failed in the final at FC Santos . In 1963, for the first time in five years, no title could be won, after which success in the championship returned. In 1965 and 1966, the players again managed to move into the finals of the now extremely highly regarded Copa Libertadores. If you failed in the former at the Argentine CA Independiente , the record winner of this competition, the CA River Plate, based in Buenos Aires, could be defeated in 1966 . Peñarol also prevailed in the World Cup in comparison with Real Madrid and for the second time in five years - 1961 and 1966 - won the title of best continental and best football club in the world. This golden decade came to an end with the win of the two national championships in 1967 and 1968. It was during this period that Peñarol set a remarkable record: from September 3, 1966 to September 14, 1968, the team remained unbeaten in 56 games. This represents an unchallenged record in the Uruguayan league as well as in comparison to all other professional clubs in South America. Even in the amateur field, only CA Boca Juniors managed a longer series. Peñarol's streak broke after losing to Liverpool Montevideo .

1969–1979: a good decade

In its second and last edition, the CA Peñarol secured two games (0-0, 4-1) against Racing Club Avellaneda in 1969 to win the Intercontinental Cup. However, this success was not officially recognized by CONMEBOL until 2005. The following year they reached the final of the Copa Libertadores, but lost to Estudiantes de La Plata from Argentina . In 1972 the team traveled to Europe in the middle of the year. There, at the end of June 1972, they participated in two meetings of the Trofeo Ibérico with little success . This was followed by a series of friendly matches between July 3, 1972 and August 10, 1972 in Yugoslavia, Poland and Greece. Opponents were the teams from Sparta Prague , Dynamo, Partizan Belgrade , the Polish national team, Radnički Niš , Sloboda Tuzla , Velez Mostar and Olympiakos. This was followed by participation in the Trofeo Princípe Juan , the Copa 50 Aniversario de Tenerife and the Torneo Ciudad de Sevilla , while the championship had already started again in Uruguay .

After four second places in a row in the championship, the striker Fernando Morena was signed in 1973 , who would develop into the club's most important goalscorer in the following years. From 1973 to 1975 three championship titles were won in a row. in addition, the CA Peñarol was the first Uruguayan club in 1974 to win a game in the Copa Libertadores in Argentina when the CA Huracán was beaten 3-0 in Buenos Aires . After two more second places in the league, two more top positions followed at the end of the decade. In the first of these two, in 1978, Morena set two extraordinary records: With 36 goals, he was crowned top scorer with the most goals to date and scored seven goals in the game against Huracán Buceo - another mark that was never reached again.

1980–2000: Twenty more successful years

The 1980s began for the Aurinegros with two championships in 1981 and 1982. Two extremely popular players played a major role in the first: Rubén Paz , who was top scorer with 17 goals, and Fernando Morena , who previously played for Valencia CF and for the record fee at the time the equivalent of 1,029,000 US dollars back joined his former club. 1982 also achieved the fourth triumph at the Copa Libertadores , when the Chilean Club de Deportes Cobreloa could be defeated (0-0, 1-0). In mid-December of the same year, Peñarol therefore competed in Tokyo in the game for the World Cup against the winner of the European Cup of National Champions Aston Villa . After a 2-0 win, the team was once again able to call itself the best in the world and was the first team to win this competition three times. The 1983 season turned out to be a bit more mixed, but again the team played their way into the final of the Copa Libertadores and defeated rivals Nacional in the semi-final group. In the final, however, they were defeated by the Brazilian club Gremio Porto Alegre . 1985 and 1986 more championship titles followed, with the latter in particular being of a very special nature: Due to economic problems, Peñarol was unable to play the first game of the season, which led to a corresponding loss of points. It was agreed, however, to set up a decisive match if Nacional should outbid the black and yellow in the end with less than two points. In fact, Nacional was one point ahead of Peñarol first in the table, so it came to an agreed clash, which Peñarol finally won 4-3 on penalties . Despite worsening various financial difficulties and an extremely young team with an average age of just 22 years, the Manyas secured their fifth Copa Libertadores in 1987. Was defeated America de Cali of Colombia who were consecutively for the third time in the final and lost for the third time. If the first leg ended with a defeat (1: 2) for Peñarol, they managed to equalize in the second leg with a 1: 0, so a third play-off was necessary. This was played in the Estadio Nacional de Chile in the Chilean capital Santiago de Chile and a last-minute goal by Diego Aguirre in the 120th minute decided in favor of the black and yellow 1-0. The club received the Copa Libertadores trophy in that stadium for the third time after 1966 and 1982. For the next six years, however, this should be the last title ever for the club.

The club experienced another heyday in the 1990s. These began, however, with a further intensification of the crisis at the institutional level and also with a temporary continuation of sporting failure. Under these circumstances, on September 28, 1991, the club's centenary was celebrated. In response to this, Nacional founded the “Comisión del Decanato” in the following year, which openly refused to celebrate the anniversary, but again presented the arguments of Nacional regarding the founding of the association and thus broke up the old dispute again. By signing the dangerous midfielder Pablo Bengoechea and under the direction of the new coach Gregorio Pérez , at least the sporting worries were resolved relatively quickly and between 1993 and 1997 they could even celebrate the second Quinquenio de Oro in the club's history. After a third place in 1998, another championship title followed the following year. In addition, the CA Peñarol moved into the final of the Copa Conmebol in 1994 and 1995 .

2001 - today: mediocre

The first decade of the new millennium was very mixed for the club from a sporting point of view. Although he regularly reached top table positions, but only in 2003 he was able to win the championship. The club had not experienced such a negative streak in over 70 years of Uruguayan professional football. The worst result in a decade to date dates from the 1930s and 1940s, when only two titles were made between 1939 and 1948. In the 2005/06 season, the first round of rounds ( Apertura and Clausura ) established in the course of the league's changeover to the European mode , the UP Peñarol even deducted twelve points as a disciplinary measure, so that the team only finished 16th. Ranked. In the following years, however, a renewed establishment on the top positions of the table and in 2010 the renewed victory in the championship. On August 24th of the same year, Peñarol was invited against Real Madrid in the sold-out Estadio Santiago Bernabéu , but had to admit defeat to the Europeans 2-0 in the game for the Trofeo Santiago Bernabéu . In June 2011, the team moved back to the final of the Copa Libertadores for the first time since 1987 and met FC Santos there . In the course of the tournament, Peñarol prevailed against top-class opponents - including the record winner CA Independiente and the defending champion SC Internacional . After a 0-0 draw in the first final game in front of a home crowd, the Uruguayans had to admit defeat 2-1 in the second leg. With this tenth final appearance in the Copa Libertadores, Peñarol set a new tournament record.

Champion 2010

After starting the Copa Libertadores 2012 with unsatisfactory results, Jorge Goncalvez replaced Gregorio Pérez on February 27, 2012, despite a previously achieved second place in the Torneo Apertura 2011 on an interim basis as a coach. On March 1, 2012, Jorge "Polilla" Da Silva was the new coach of Peñarols , as expected days before the press was released . In the 2012/13 season, the Aurinegros won the Torneo Apertura for the first time in 16 years. Also in the season-end table they kept the table lead after a second place in the Clausura. So you played against the Clausura winner Defensor for the championship. In this duel they got the upper hand on June 4, 2013 due to a hat trick by Antonio Pacheco with 3-1 and became national champion. After the season, coach Jorge Da Silva ended his engagement. Diego Alonso was announced as the new coach on June 18, 2013 . He was given a one-year contract. His coaching team consisted of the assistant coaches Fernando "Petete" Correa and Edgardo Adinolfi as well as Fernando González as goalkeeping coach and Mauricio Marchetti (preparador físico). On October 5, 2013, Alonso made his coaching position available after a hitherto unsatisfactory season with only one win and two draws from six league games. The successor to the coach position was since October 6, 2013 Jorge Gonçalves . With him, the Aurinegros took 8th place in the table after the 2013 Apertura. On January 27, 2014, less than a week before the start of the Torneo Clausura 2014, club president Juan Pedro Damiani announced the dismissal of Gonçalves. With Jorge Fossati , who took over the coaching position at the end of January 2014 with his coaching staff consisting of assistant coaches Sebastián Avellino and Leonardo Martins and goalkeeping coach Sergio Navarro , they finished second in the Clausura. With that, the Aurinegros finished 5th in the overall annual table for the 2013/14 season . Following a 2-1 defeat in Clásico , he resigned from his post on November 9, 2014 after 20 wins, ten draws and nine defeats from 39 competitive games. He was succeeded on November 11, 2014 - initially as an interim solution until the end of Apertura - Paolo Montero . On December 23, 2014, Pablo Bengoechea was introduced as the new head coach from 2015. His coaching team consisted of Óscar Aguirregaray and José Enrique De Los Santos (both assistant coaches), Modesto Turrén ("preparador físico") and goalkeeping coach Oscar Ferro . Robert Lima took over the team of the Tercera División.

The 2015/16 season ended Peñarol as first in the overall table. In the subsequent championship (semi) final, which was held between the Apertura winner Peñarol and the winner of the Clausura Plaza Colonia , the "Aurinegros", trained by Jorge Da Silva , prevailed 3-1. This made them Uruguayan champions of the 2015/16 season.

Rivalry with Nacional

Since the beginning of the 20th century there has been a very strong rivalry between Club Atlético Peñarol and Club Nacional de Football, which is also based in Montevideo . The support for both clubs traditionally divides the country and the annual games ( called Clásicos ) between these teams have immense social significance. In terms of their importance, they can only be compared with the Argentine superclásicos between CA Boca Juniors and CA River Plate . The Revierderby ( FC Schalke 04 against Borussia Dortmund ) comes close, but in contrast to the national one, is limited to only regionally limited supporters and effects.

The first Clásico was held in the first amateur season on July 15, 1900 and the CURCC won 2-0. On November 1, 1911, the black and yellow won the game for the Honors Cup 7-3; this is still the most goal-scoring encounter in the history of the derby. Under the new name CA Peñarol, the club first appeared on December 14, 1913, just two weeks after the club was redesigned against Nacional. During the amateur era, they easily had the upper hand in the Clásicos' balance sheet - a trend that Peñarol turned around after professional football was established in 1932. One of the most famous derbies took place on October 9, 1949. The first round of the Uruguayan Cup was played and Peñarol led 2-0 at halftime. As a result, the Nacional team decided not to run back onto the field after the break, but rather secretly left the stadium through the back doors of the dressing rooms. Their fans later argued that there had been disconformities with the referee, while Peñarol's supporters believed that Nacional's fear of further goals was the cause of the escape. In 1954 Peñarol won 5-0 and secured the highest derby victory. So far, both teams have competed against each other in 241 league games - if you add the various national and international cup competitions, the number of games adds up to 503. The balance is shown in the table below:

Games	Wins Peñarol	draw	Wins Nacional	Goals Peñarol	Gates Nacional
503	180	160	164	643	603

Another permanent point of friction between the clubs, especially between the supporters, is the question of the older football club. The Club Nacional de Football, founded in 1899, claims this title for itself and argues that CA Peñarol was only founded in 1913 as an independent football club and could not be regarded as the successor to the CURCC, since it was dissolved. CURCC existed eight years before Nacional.

Through the legitimation of the UP and the Uruguayan government, Peñarol is officially considered the legitimate CURCC successor in a line.

Jerseys

From the start of the match, the CA Peñarol's jersey colors were almost entirely black and yellow and differentiated in vertical stripes. This color scheme was derived from the Uruguayan railway signs and level crossing barriers and was thus directly related to the origin of the association as a works team for the Central Uruguay Railway. The first home jersey was divided into a black right side and a black and yellow striped left side with sleeves of opposite colors as well as black shorts and socks . This design was revived for both the Clausura (back round) 1996 and the Copa Libertadores 1998. In 1901 and 1908 shirts with black and yellow squares were used. The home jersey dates from 1905 in its original design and its design has only changed minimally since then, for example in the sock color and the width and the number of vertical stripes.

The first verifiable away shirt from 1891 had small squares in black and orange. Generally speaking, it can be said that the colors and shapes have been much more creative over the years - for example, 1984 with black and yellow horizontal stripes and completely monochrome for 13 years (1995 to 2008 black, 2001 to 2008 yellow, 2004 to 2008 gray). In the 1960s and 1970s, completely different colors were used, especially in international friendly matches, such as green tops in 1971 in the Montevideo Cup against FK Inter Bratislava . Since September 2009, the famous first home shirt has been the team’s away kit. In the mid-1950s, CA Peñarol was the first club in the world to introduce jersey advertising .

A special curiosity in connection with the jerseys of the CA Peñarol was a friendly match between the national teams of Brazil and Argentina on June 3, 1919 in Rio de Janeiro . The so-called Copa Roberto Chery was played in memory of Roberto Chery , the former goalkeeper of Peñarol, who had died shortly before just one day after the final of the Campeonato Sudamericano 1919 . In honor of Chery, the Argentinians wore the national jerseys of Uruguay and Brazil the Peñarols dress. The game ended 3-3 and the trophy was then given to Peñarol. Numerous football clubs in South America have adopted the extremely popular design of the jerseys from Peñarol over the years and also have black and yellow vertical stripes. These teams include, for example, Olimpo de Bahía Blanca , Club Almirante Brown , Club Guaraní and the Deportivo Táchira Fútbol Club .

badges and flags

Both the club's official flag and its coat of arms were designed and drawn by the architect Constante Facello , who was on the board of the CURCC. Little changes were made over the decades and the two colors were always retained. Both club symbols each have five black and four yellow stripes. Since its second version, the coat of arms has had eleven stars to symbolize the eleven players on the soccer field. Below is the development of the coat of arms:

Songs

When the club was renamed, Segundo Espinosa rewrote the text of the Irish marching song It's a Long Way to Tipperary , published two years earlier, in 1914 and created the first hymn for CA Peñarol on the same melody. She is not too well known these days; However, the official anthem of the Argentine CA River Plate was slightly modified as early as 1918 , where it is still in use today. At home games of CA Peñarol the fans in the stadium mainly sing the catchy song Tu bandera amarilla y negra . In January 2011, during the presentation of the squad for the new Clausura, the club's management also presented the new anthem with the title Campeón del Siglo - shortly before that, CA Peñarol from the International Federation of Football History & Statistics was named the best South American club of the 20th century. The song was composed by Roberto Martinez Barone with the help of Raul Medina, Julio Pérez, Damián Dewaily, Felipe Castro, Florence and Gabriel Groba Pasquet.

The Club Atlético Peñarol has a very large following. A survey published in the Uruguayan newspaper El observador by the consultancy FACTUM in 2006 showed that 45 percent of Uruguayans consider themselves fans of Peñarol. If you compare the survey with similar statistics from other countries in South America, it can be seen that CA Peñarol has the largest percentage of the country's population as followers when viewed continentally.

The Ultrà movement of Peñarol fans is called La Caterva Aurinegra and has the worst reputation of any Uruguayan supporters. The fighting and street riots provoked by this group have led to the deduction of a total of 31 championship points over the years and subsequently to the loss of three championships for the club (Apertura 1994, Clausura 1997 and Clausura 2002). In addition, you even had to play a relegation match against Liverpool Montevideo in 1995 because of the low number of points , but it was won.

Sports facilities

Las Acacias / Estadio Centenario

Since 1916, the CA Peñarol played its home games in the specially built Las Acacias stadium , which was later renamed the Estadio Contador José Pedro Damiani in memory of the long-time club president . Inadequate infrastructure and the number of spectators, which were far too low (12,000 seats), were the reason why a game against Rampla Juniors FC in August 1997 was the last encounter of the professional team there. Since then, the club has played in the state-owned Estadio Centenario with almost 74,000 seats, which is rarely sold out. In 2006 negotiations were in progress with the investor group Ficus Capital about the construction of a stadium that would meet new international standards and have a capacity of 40,000. Alternatively, a corresponding conversion of the Estadio Contador José Pedro Damiani would be conceivable. The not unproblematic economic and institutional situation of the association makes the short and medium term implementation of a corresponding project difficult.

Complejo Deportivo Washington Cataldi

This sports complex, better known under the colloquial name Los Aromos , is located northeast of Montevideo on the Ruta nacional n ° 8 Brigadier Gral artery. Juan A. Lavalleja. It is the training ground for the club's first football team and was laid out from 1945 to 1947 according to the plans of the architect José Donato. The approximately four hectare area underwent a fundamental redesign and redesign in 1980.

Palacio Peñarol Cr. Gastón Güelfi

The multi-purpose sports hall Palacio Peñarol Cr. Gastón Güelfi, often simply called Palacio Peñarol as an alliteration , occupies a block of streets in the center of Montevideo - framed by the streets of Magallanes, Cerro Largo, Minas and Galicia. The building with a floor area of ​​3,896 square meters is named in honor of the late Gastón Güelfi , who was president of the association from 1958 to 1972, and has a characteristic yellow-colored exterior painting. Peñarol acquired the corresponding property in 1943 from the import and export company Ramón Bonvehi, but it was not until the early 1950s that planning began during the tenure of President Constante Turturiello. A fundraising campaign among the club members managed to cover 80 percent of the construction costs of this sporting, cultural and social center. Under the leadership of the manager Don Carlos Balsán, the club organized another campaign in 1952, which enabled the members to acquire individual square meters of the planned hall and consequently to acquire the title of “partner in the Palacio Peñarol”. The support was so great that the necessary financial resources for equipping and setting up were available without any problems. In 1955 the hall was finally opened, in which the CA Peñarol now has its administrative offices and a club history museum as well as boxing matches, indoor soccer tournaments and soccer salsa - mostly free of charge as thanks to the fans for the help in the past. It used to be the same with basketball games and track bike and motorcycle races. The Palacio Peñarol is also booked as a popular venue by numerous artists and music groups.

Centro de Alto Rendimiento

For the 118th anniversary of the club, the CA Peñarol built the Centro de Alto Rendimiento (CAR) on Avenida Giannattasio in 2009, one of the most modern sports complexes in South America. In addition to five football pitches, it has a fitness studio , a gym with artificial turf and its own gymnasium, which is open to all athletes in the youth classes. The CAR was opened on September 28th by club president Juan Pedro Damiani, who presented it to the press. The day before, the members were honored with medals on the premises in recognition of their careers.

Estadio Campeón del Siglo

→ Main article : Estadio Campeón del Siglo

On September 28, 2012 (121st club anniversary), the club presented the construction plans for its new, own arena. The stadium, which has not yet been named, is to be built on Ruta 102 on the eastern edge of the city, 15 kilometers outside of Montevideo, and will accommodate 40,005 spectators. The new building is to be financed through the sale of permanent seats and VIP boxes in the stadium as well as a loan from the Banco de la República Oriental del Uruguay. According to current estimates, the total costs are around 40 million US dollars (approx. 30 million euros). The stadium is to have a 105 m × 68 m playing field, a conference hall for up to 70 people and numerous shops and also serve as the club's headquarters and museum. The box grandstand should consist of 107 so-called palcos, each of which should offer space for 16 fans (a total of 2,660 spectators). A grandstand with 9,444 seats will be located below this. The main grandstand opposite will have 11,141 seats and the two grandstands at the front will each have 8,380 seats. The stadium meets the official requirements of FIFA .

On March 28, 2016, the opening game between Peñarol and CA River Plate (4: 1) took place.

Other sports

basketball

The basketball division of CA Peñarol had its roots in Club Piratas, a small basketball club founded in late 1920. This went on in 1931 in Peñarol and nine years later, 1940, took place a first participation in the official league games of the Federación Uruguaya de Basketball (FUBB) in the fourth division. Within a few years he achieved rapid sporting advancement and in 1943 he entered the first division. In that season they temporarily occupied third place in the table and in the following year 1944 Peñarol won his first championship. Just one year later, however, the club from Montevideo was one of a group of clubs that wanted to split off from FUBB and open their own league with a professional character. This project failed and Peñarol reintegrated in 1947. After another championship title in 1952 and two victories in the winter competition in 1953 and 1955, a period of sporting decline followed, which found its negative climax in 1968 with relegation to the second division. However, they quickly rose again and only five years later the black and yellow were able to celebrate their third championship success, followed by their fourth and fifth successes in 1978 and 1979, as well as repeated triumphs in the winter competition in the same years. The 1979 season was also Uruguay's first professional season. The undoubtedly most successful two years of the CA Peñarol's basketball division were 1982 and 1983, when the double again succeeded at national level and the South American Champions' Cup was won in 1983 . In the final, the Brazilian CA Monte Líbano lost .

Nonetheless, there was another decline in 1985. In combination with economic problems, this led to the club's final resignation in 1997.

Cycling

Since the establishment of the Vuelta Ciclista del Uruguay, which takes place during Holy Week and is organized by the Federación Ciclista Uruguaya, as the largest cycling race in Uruguay in 1939, athletes from CA Peñarol have always participated. At first it managed to get very good results. Dante Sudati (1952), Aníbal Donatti (1953), Luis P. Serra (1954, 1955) and Juan B. Tiscornia (1956) won the event five times in a row in the 1950s - a unique success in the history of the race for a club. In addition, he won the team championship in 1956 and 1959. Between 1964 and 1989, however, there was a drop in performance and subsequently no top placements on the tour. This only changed when the record winner Federico Moreira won the races of 1990 and 1991 and the club was team winner again in both cases. This return to the top of South American cycling was continued with another double triumph in 2002 - alongside the team, Gustavo Figueredo won the individual standings.

With a win for José María Orlando in 1990, Peñarol was also able to celebrate a success at the Rutas de América - just like the tour on the UCI America Tour 2010 classified in category 2.2. A black and yellow athlete stood on the podium five times at the end of the Eastern Millar Miles : Atilio Francois 1952, Aníbal Donatti 1953, Mario Debenedetti 1954, Juan B. Tiscornia 1956 and Walter Llado 1961.

Futsal

In 1968, the CA Peñarol established a division for futsal , the indoor version of football. In the first decades of its existence, the team celebrated numerous national and international successes, which were crowned by winning the Club World Cup in 1987. As a result of the restructuring of sport and its incorporation into the FIFA statutes , the club competed in official tournaments organized and advertised by the AUF from 1995. Already in the first year of the new system it was possible to achieve the championship title - an achievement that could be repeated in the following two years and in 1999. Also in 2003 and 2004 Peñarol was first in the table; the U-20 team secured the title three times in a row in 1998, 1999 and 2000.
