Rampla Juniors Fútbol Club , Rampla Juniors for short , (nicknames: Picapiedras , Rojiverdes , Los de la Villa ) is a football club from Montevideo in Uruguay .

The club, which plays its home games at the Estadio Olímpico and was once Uruguayan champions, was relegated from the Primera División to the Segunda División at the end of the 2014/15 season .

history

The association was founded on January 7, 1914. Place of foundation was the Rambla Portuaria , corner of Solís. Therefore, the association was originally located in the Ciudad Vieja near the customs building (the Aduana ). In the seventh year after it was founded, however, they moved to Barrio Cerro . Club Atlético Cerro , the club's arch-rival, comes from the same neighborhood in Montevideo .

Men's team

The Rampla Juniors rose to the top Uruguayan league for the first time in 1922. In the following year they were Uruguayan runner-up. The club celebrated its greatest success so far in 1927 when it won the Uruguayan championship. This season, the national championship series was hosted by the AUF for the first time .

The master team of the Rojiverdes around captain Pedro Arispe , trained by José Pedro Colfina , consisted of the following players in the main lineup: Enrique Ballestrero ; Juan Carlos Vidal and Pedro Arispe ; José Magallanes , Pascual Cabrera and Guillermo Boffi or Juan Antonio Bérgolo ; Atilio Patiño , Vital Ruffatti , Julio Nieto , Antonio Rígoli and Conrado Bidegain

The extended squad also included the players Juan Carlos Alzugaray , José Bertone , Camilo Bondanza , Manuel Carballal , Alfredo Castillo , Francisco Conde , Luis Gaitán , Conrado Häberli (Conrado Haeberli), Juan Manuel Labraga , Juan Masciardi , Francisco Merelles , Óscar Peluffo , Alberto Rampoldi , Alfonso Rocco . Other sources also mention the players Pedro Aguirre and Pedro Cabrera .

In 1928, the runner-up could again be won. At the end of the 1920s, the good performances of the Uruguayan team in Europe were not hidden, so that the Rampla Juniors completed a European tour in 1929, in which they played 19 games. Opponents included Benfica Lisbon , Ajax Amsterdam , Olympique Marseille and the German club Tennis Borussia Berlin , against which they won 1-0 on April 21, 1929. In 1932, the first year of professional football in Uruguay, another of the seven runners-up championships followed (1923, 1928, 1932, 1940 , 1947, 1958 and 1964). Until 1943, the Rampla Juniors continued to belong to the national top of the clubs. In that year, however, the transition to the second division had to be started. In the following year, however, after a season without a single defeat, at the end of which in 1944 the championship title of the 2nd division stood, the return to the football upper house was on the agenda. In the years 1949 to 1953, the victory at the Copa Montevideo could be celebrated five times in a row . The Rojiverdes also won the Copa Maracaná in 1950 and the Torneo Cuadrangular in 1953 . In 1950 and 1955 they were also victorious at the Torneo Competencia .

One year after this last triumph, another of the twelve international tours in the history of the Montevideans followed. In addition to Brazil, they toured Europe again in 1956 for the first time in 25 years and also visited two Asian countries. Germany, France, Spain and England were some of the stops on this tour, on which 22 games were played. Here the team achieved a historic victory when on April 11, 1956 in a 3-1 win against Portsmouth, the first success of a Uruguayan soccer team on English soil. Other opponents included 1. FC Nürnberg , Fortuna Düsseldorf , Eintracht Frankfurt , FC Valencia , Espanyol Barcelona , Sport Recife , Santa Cruz FC , Queens Park Rangers , Luton Town and the Danish national soccer team. Other sources speak of 24 games in 71 days for this tour. Eleven wins and six draws faced seven defeats. In the encounters, the Rampla Juniors scored a total of 39 goals. Domingo Pérez with twelve and Ángel Omarini with eleven goals stood out as goalscorers.

1958 and 1964 again runner-up in the Uruguayan championship, followed by the next title win in 1969, when the one-time Torneo de Copa won. In the following season, however, the Rojiverdes had to start again in the second division. It was not until ten years later that he rose again as the undefeated champion of the Segunda División . However, in the decades that followed, it was no longer possible to build on the successes of bygone days. The next descent was already in 1987. In 1992 they returned with the second division championship they had won in the Primera División, but in 1999 the time of the first division was over again. This was followed by the most difficult phase in the club's history, when they finished last in the Segunda División in 2002 and did not participate in the game in the following year due to financial difficulties. In 2004, however , the Rojiverdes returned to the Primera División. At the end of the Torneo Apertura of the 2007/08 season they were tied on points with Danubio behind the round winner Defensor Sporting and at the end of the season they even qualified as fifth for the Liguilla Pre-Libertadores .

The Rampla Juniors played in the Segunda División again , won the Apertura 2013 and at the end of the Clausura 2014 they finished 7th in the overall table. In the subsequent play-offs, the team trained by Marcelo Saralegui secured a 4-2 win on penalties (0-0) in the decider for the third promotion place on July 6, 2014 against Villa Teresa in the 2014/15 season the Primera División.

The following first division season was not very successful. On January 6, 2015 it was announced that Jorge Barrios would take over the coaching position of Saralegui in the Torneo Clausura 2015 and that he had signed a contract with a term of one and a half years. The coaching team was completed by co-coaches Juan Carlos Parra and Nicolás Pulis as "preparador físico". A few days later, the Uruguayan media reported that the Rampla Juniors, which were in economic difficulties, had postponed the start of preparations for the second half of the season due to outstanding salaries for the team. During the summer break, Gonzalo Malán and Gustavo Aprile also lost two top performers at Apertura. After the 13th matchday of Clausura 2015, coach Barrios resigned from his position at the club, which was in acute danger of relegation. Nelson Olveira and assistant Luis Abreu were then presented as the new coach on May 26, 2015, initially limited to the two remaining game days of the season. However, even this could not prevent the descent. The Rampla Juniors finished last in the overall table as well as in the relegation ranking at the end of the season.
