history

The club was founded in 1897 under the name Cagancha FC by employees of the port of Montevideo . The majority of the founders consisted of casual workers and stevedores . After the league , a kind of forerunner of the UP , refused to accept the club because the club had no English name, the club was renamed FC London . However, it was not accepted, as the presence of English players was now demanded as a pretext for the football clientele, which at that time consisted of the upper class of society. This was followed by another renaming to the name River Plate , which was based on an English ship of the same name ( The River Plate ), which at the time contributed to the livelihood of these workers. After the Club Nacional de Football, which had a rather affluent clientele, was accepted by the league in 1900 , although it consisted entirely of locals, they finally gave in to the River Plates case.
However, the Darseneros first had to take part in lower-class championships. In the following years, Uruguay's first club was to beat the then overpowering Argentine Alumni Athletic Club, first on Argentine soil and then in Uruguay. In 1903 they became champions of the newly founded Segunda División. In the Uruguayan championship was in 1907 first took part in the top division, resulting in that season from the five other teams Central Uruguay Railway Cricket Club (predecessor club Peñarols ), Montevideo Wanderers , Nacional, the earlier in Centro Atlético Montevideo renamed SC Teutonia and INTREPIDO composed and classified third overall in the first year.

In between, there was also success in the Copa de Honor Cousenier in 1912 , when they beat the Argentine Racing Club 2-1 in Montevideo. In that tournament you took part after the qualifying national Copa de Honor was won in the same year . In 1920 the club was relegated from bottom of the table, but in 1923, during the schism, again in the parallel championship organized by the FUF and finished in 26th place.
