The Racing Club - also sometimes Racing Club de Avellaneda , German formerly often Racing Buenos Aires - is a football club from Avellaneda , an industrial suburb of the Argentine capital in the province of Buenos Aires . The club had its first big time between 1913 and 1925, when it was national champion nine times. Another six championship titles were added between 1949 and 1966. Internationally, Racing stepped into the limelight in 1967 by winning the Copa Libertadores and the World Cup . After this time, Racing became Argentine champions in 2001, 2014 and 2019.

history

Racing Club before the 1967 World Cup final against Celtic: Parados: Cejas , Basile , Perfumo , Martín, Chabay, Rulli. Front: Cardoso, Maschio , Cárdenas, Rodríguez, Raffo.

The Racing Club was founded on March 25, 1903. In the period before the introduction of the Argentine professional league, racing dominated the game and won seven championships in a row between 1913 and 1919. Two more titles followed in 1921 and 1925. The first championship title of the professional league introduced in 1930 was won in 1949. By 1966 there were 5 more titles.

The 1966 championship qualified racing for the first time for the Copa Libertadores . There the club reached the final, where after two goalless draws against the Uruguayan top club Nacional from Montevideo with a 2-1 win in the play-off in Estadio Nacional in Santiago de Chile as the second Argentinian club to win the title after local rivals CA Independiente was able to win in 1964 and 1965, won the trophy. After Independiente lost to Inter Milan in the finals of the World Cup , coach Juan José Pizzuti's team succeeded after a 1-0 win in Glasgow and a 2-1 win in the second leg with a 1-0 win with a goal of Juan Carlos Cárdenas was the first Argentine club to bring this cup into the country in the 55th minute in the tough - a total of five sent offs - playoff in Montevideo against Celtic Glasgow from Scotland .

This was followed by a long dry spell. In 1983 La Academia , as the club is also called, had to relegate to Primera B and stayed there until 1985. In 1999, bankruptcy even followed, but its supporters were able to save the club. Since then, Racing has been the first Argentine club to operate as a corporation.

In 2001 Racing was able to win the Argentine championship again for the first time in 35 years.

Diego Cocca has been coaching the Racing Club team since June 2014 .

Stadion

The home stadium of the Racing Club is the Estadio Presidente Perón (also known as El Cilindro - "the cylinder") , which opened in 1950 and has a capacity of 51,389 seats.

Trivia

Legend has it that supporters of local rival CA Independiente buried seven black cats in the Estadio Presidente Perón after winning the Racings title in 1967 to curse their opponent. This was followed by a long dry spell without a title, until a large-scale search operation in 2001 was supposed to succeed in locating the last carcass. Racing became champions for the first time in the same year.
