Club Atlético del Rosario

[4] The club was founded as a cricket institution by workers of the British company Central Argentine Railway that were building the Rosario–Córdoba line.The club rented a land on Presidente Roca and Jujuy streets, where many sports (such as baseball, bicycle races, cricket, croquet, football, polo, quoits, rugby, tennis) were practised.Some highlights during those years were the first inter-club rugby union (29 June 1886) and association football (12 July 1887) matches, played against Buenos Aires Cricket Club teams.[8] Rosario AC was also a founding member of "Liga Rosarina de Football", playing all its tournaments until 1916.[11] In 1917 the football section was discontinued after a riot between supporters of Rosario Central and Newell's Old Boys in Plaza Jewell.In 1955 the team started to play in the tournaments held by "Asociación Argentina Amateur de Hockey Sobre Césped", promoting to Primera División in 1959.[3] In 2016, Atlético del Rosario reintroduced the practice of football in the club (more than 100 years after the sport had been abandoned), with the organization of internal tournaments.
