Club flag

The Club Nacional de Football , Nacional for short (nicknames: Bolsos , Tricolores , Albos , Bolsilludos ) and known in German-speaking countries as Nacional Montevideo , is a football club from Montevideo , Uruguay . The club colors are red-blue-white. Together with local rivals Peñarol , “El Decano” has dominated the Uruguayan championship so far .

history

Foundation phase

The Club Nacional de Football was founded on May 14, 1899 . On that day, the members, players and the respective management staff of the Barrio Unión- based Uruguay Athletic Club and the Montevideo Football Club gathered in the house of Dr. Ernesto Caprario next to the seat of today's Teatro Verdi and decided to merge the two clubs. Thus, at the same time, the first Creole association in Latin America came into being. When determining the club colors, reference was made to the blue-white-red Artigas flag .

The first game of the newly founded club was a friendly game played on June 18, 1899 against Internacional in Punta Carretas . In the years that followed, competitions were held on the field there, until after the founding of the Uruguay Association Football League in the following year a right to use the Gran Parque Central was granted. In 1901, Nacional was accepted by the league and first took part in the championship after the club had received an invitation to play in the Argentine league. Right in the first season, Nacional managed to win the Uruguayan runner-up behind the Central Uruguay Railway Cricket Club . At that time the brothers Amílcar , Bolívar and Carlos Céspedes also joined the club. While the players initially wore red shirts with blue collars, arm cuffs and pockets, the fading red color of the sports shirts was changed in March 1902 to white jerseys with a breast pocket and a coat of arms with the tricolor. In 1902 and 1903 they won the first two Uruguayan championships and remained undefeated in both seasons.

After no championship took place in 1904 as a result of the civil war, Nacional succeeded in winning its first international title the following year, when they defeated the Argentine club Alumni in the Copa de Honor Cousenier on September 10, 1905 . In that year, however, a tragedy also occurred within the association when the two brothers Carlos and Bolívar Céspedes succumbed to smallpox . In the following years, the success was initially not due to this loss.

The 1910s and 1920s

Only in 1912 did it succeed in gaining another, third championship title. During the tenure of club president José María Delgado, who took over the management of the club in 1911, a successful period followed with numerous championship honors at national and international level, in which Abdón Porte, a player, led the team as captain, who later ended his career in 1918 killed himself at night in the center circle of the home stadium and, like the Céspedes brothers, was to become one of the club's symbolic figures. When the eleventh league title was won in 1924, it fell in a phase of Uruguayan football that was marked by disagreements. At that time, the organizational structure of Uruguayan football was divided into two associations at the end of 1922, as the FUF split off from the AUF and played its own championship at the same time. From 1917 onwards, Héctor Scarone, probably the best player in the world in the first half of the century, was one of the most important players of the "Bolsos" at that time . When in 1925 no championship was played as a result of the association disputes, Nacional completed a 153-day European tour in the South American winter half-year from March to August that year, which took the team to 23 European cities in France, Italy, Spain, the Netherlands, Austria, Czechoslovakia and Belgium , Switzerland and Portugal. There she competed in 38 games against various teams and won 26, lost only five and ended seven games with a draw. The goal balance was also clearly in favor of Nacional at 130: 30. After the decision of the then Uruguayan President José Serrato , called Laudo Serrato , the split of the associations was ended. Nacional played from then on again in the Primera División Uruguay, but had to wait there until 1933 before they could celebrate a championship win at the end of the season. As early as 1927, beginning in January, the club carried out another major tour, this time to the USA and the Antilles. The association's delegation was headed by President José María Delgado . The coach at the time was Emilio Servetti Miter . For the first ten encounters of the tour, the club is said to have received a sum of 40,000 pesos. A total of 22 games were played on this tour in the USA, Mexico and Cuba. The sporting record was again impressive with 16 wins, one defeat and two draws with 78:24 goals. Three more games were not finished. After professional football took hold in Uruguay in 1932, Nacional succeeded - as already indicated - in the following year again in championship honors and left their long-term rivals Peñarol behind. This was the time of the team called La Máquina Blanca .

Quinquenio de Oro

Under the direction of the coach Héctor Castro , another extremely successful chapter in the club's history began at the end of the 1930s, the so-called Quinquenio de Oro , the five golden years. From 1939 to 1943 Nacional succeeded in winning the championship in series. Nacional striker Atilio García was at that time even seven times in a row (1938-1944) top scorer of the Primera División.

The 1950s to the present

Five national championship titles in the 1950s, three in the 1960s, and four in the 1970s were won by Nacional in the following decades. In 1971 they also won the first intercontinental title in the club's history when, after winning the Copa Libertadores in 1971, they also brought the World Cup to Montevideo that year. In 1980 and 1988, these double victories were repeated in both competitions. National championships, on the other hand, were no longer won in the 1980s and 1990s with the same regularity as in previous years. Nevertheless, there are two titles in each of these two decades. In the 21st century, Nacional has once again taken a dominant position in Uruguayan football and has already won eight championships. The last title was secured by the Bolsos in the past 2011/12 season under coach Marcelo Gallardo , who then left the club. On June 23, 2012, the commitment of the previous Defensor coach Gustavo Díaz as the new Nacionals coach was announced. The 2012/13 season was completed under Rodolfo Arruabarrena , who had replaced Díaz and the interim coaching team that followed him in the course of the Clausura, as third in the table with qualification for the Copa Libertadores 2014 . Arruabarrena resigned on December 15, 2013 after a 1: 2 home defeat to Fénix and the associated third place in the table after the completion of the 2013 Apertura from his post. The next day it was announced that Gerardo Pelusso will take over the vacant coaching position at Nacional in his second term. Pelusso's second phase at Nacional ended on April 28, 2014. After a 5-0 defeat in Clásico against rival Peñarol, he offered to resign, which the club officials accepted. Álvaro Gutiérrez , the team's coach in the Tercera División, took over the interim head coaching role of the professional team until the end of the Clausura 2014. He led the team to another 3rd place in the table after the Clausura. In the annual overall table for the 2013/14 season , they finished 2nd behind the Montevideo Wanderers . The 2014/15 championship title was followed by a 2nd place in the overall annual table in the 2015/16 season.

Jerseys

Nacional is one of the few clubs in the world that has been using the same colored jerseys since 1902, almost since the club was founded. The shirt sponsor has been the sporting goods chain Macri Sport Center and the Uruguayan telecommunications company ANTEL since at least the 2009/10 season .

Fans

Like its main national competitor Peñarol, Nacional has an enormous fan potential within Uruguay. In terms of the number of supporters, the two clubs are well ahead of all other clubs in the country. With almost 40,000 members (as of May 2011), Nacional currently ranks second in the statistics of the number of members of the Uruguayan football clubs (as of March 22, 2012), as Peñarol, after a rapid increase in numbers in March 2012 with 54,438 members, ranked second Reported the highest level in the club's history and surpassed the Bolsos in this regard, after three years earlier in August 2009, only 12,594 club members were recorded. In April 2013, Nacional's supporters presented the world's largest fan flag to date in a stadium. It has a length of 600 meters and a width of 50 meters and thus covers three of the four stands of the Estadio Centenario. The 53,000 euro flag was displayed by fans for the first time before the round of 16 of the Copa Libertadores against Mexican club Toluca.
