The Defensor Sporting Club , known as Defensor Sporting , is a sports club based in Montevideo , Uruguay . The club colors are purple and white.
history
origin of the name
There are essentially two different versions of the club's name and its origin. According to this, the workers of the nearby glass factory associated with the association are said to have called him “Defensores de la Huelga” during the labor disputes that were prevalent at the time. The second variant says that the team got its name symbolically as the "defender" of the barrios and the area around Punta Carretas . It is also reported that the factory founded in 1904 itself was called "Defensores de la Huelga" and Alfredo Ghierra therefore named the club after it.
Foundation and time of amateur football
The club was founded on March 15, 1913 as Defensor Football Club in Barrio Punta Carretas near Parque Urbano . The club's jersey colors were originally supposed to be completely green. However, since Belgrano, a team in the league, was already using these colors, a black jersey with a light blue stripe was chosen. In the further course of the story they switched to today's purple jersey. The first president of the association was Nicolás Podestá . After enrolling in the Liga Uruguaya de Football you started in the Tercera División . The club played their first official game there in the championship in 1913 against Independencia . The game ended 5-0. After promotion to the second division in 1914, the march through to the Primera División, which was then an amateur league, was ensured. The club then celebrated their debut in Uruguay's top division on April 8, 1915 with a 0-0 win against the Wanderers . A little later you made your first appearance on an international level when you met the Argentine first division club Atlético Atlanta on May 25, 1915 . The friendly game, which ended with a 2-1 victory in favor of Defensors, was played in Parque Chacabuco . The first Defensors playing field was located on the then Calle Zamayúa , today's Julio Herrera y Reissig next to today's engineering faculty ( Facultad de Ingeniería ) of the Universidad de la República . As early as 1915, the company moved from there to a square on José Ellauri and Joaquín Núñez . Two years later, the games were held in Parque Ricci on Capitán Videla Street between Alarcón and Diego Lamas . In 1917 they rose from the Primera División as bottom of the table and only appeared again in 1923 at the highest league level. This time, however, during the phase of the split in the organizational structure of Uruguayan football in the parallel championship of the Federación Uruguaya de Football (FUF) and under the name Club Atlético Defensor . The club's president that year was José Capozzoli , and Luis Franzini took over this position in 1925 . After an 11th place in 1923, they were fifth in the table in 1924. From 1927 the club played again under the umbrella of the Asociación Uruguaya de Fútbol (AUF) first class. The new playing field , now located in Parque Rodó , had already been inaugurated on September 21, 1926 and was to be renamed Estadio Luis Franzini in 1963 . In the opening game that day against the Club Atlético Cerro team, which ended with a 4-1 win , Santiago Celsi scored the first goal at his new place of work. Defensor remained first class until the introduction of professional football in Uruguay in 1932. In the 1929 season, Defensor achieved the best result with third place in the final table.

The first encounter in the Primera División, now designed as a professional league, Defensor graduated on May 22, 1932 against Bella Vista . The first professional year you finished fourth in the table. From then on, Defensor continued to play in the top division. In 1937 they barely prevented relegation when they beat Racing 4-1 in relegation. The year 1941 marks the beginning of the second term of office, which lasted until 1962, of Luis Franzini , who also died in that year and who a little later gave the stadium its name.

However, since the game Defensors against the Rampla Juniors was not played (Defensor had defeated Peñarol 3-1, the Rampla Juniors lost against Peñarol with 1: 2) this second championship rank was not officially awarded. In 1960 they secured another trophy when they got the upper hand in the Torneo Nacional Copa Artigas .
