history

Amateur football

The club was created on September 23, 1973 from a merger of the Club Social Rivera Chico (founded October 1, 1932) and the Atlético Frontera Club (founded June 2, 1944, initially known as Platense until 1946 ). The predecessor club Club Atlético Frontera won the championship in the Departamental de Fútbol de Rivera league in 1947, 1953, 1963, 1967 and 1969 . 1980, 1994 and 1996 followed three more championship titles under the name Frontera Rivera Chico in this division.

In 2003 they later returned to the old name.

In 1997 they finished only 13th and last in the second division. However, since there was no relegated team that season, the class was held. In the second division season 1998 Frontera Rivera Chico ranked both after the Apertura and after the Clausura in 7th place in the table. By occupying 5th place in the overall season table, this meant qualifying for the 4-a-side promotion round ( Liguilla de Promoción ). There they prevailed against Deportivo Maldonado , Central Español and Progreso and thus rose to the Primera División . Now known for short as Frontera Rivera , they were the first team in the history of Uruguayan football to be based outside the borders of Montevideo and to rise to the highest league in the country. Frontera Rivera's players in the promotion season included, for example, Carlos Silva , Hugo Alvez , Walter Surraco , Darwin Quintana and Marcelo Borges .

In 2000 it was enough in the Apertura only to the 16th and thus third from last place, after the Clausura they were ranked 15th in the table, which led to the 16th overall position of the season. So you had to be relegated to relegation. On December 9th and 13th of the year 2000 they played this against Fénix and had to go back to the second division after a 0-0 in the first leg with a goal by Jorge Puglias in the second leg, which sealed a 0-1 home defeat.
