Argentino Football Club de Banfield mostly known as Argentino de Banfield was an Argentine football club from the Banfield district of Greater Buenos Aires. The team played in Primera División during the amateur era before merging with Club Atlético Temperley.
History
The club was founded on 1 November 1915 and established its headquarters in Banfield, Buenos Aires, while building its stadium in Lomas de Zamora.
The football team affiliated to Argentine Football Association and made its debut in Primera División in 1923.[1] Argentino only remained 4 seasons in Primera, being relegated among other teams when both leagues, dissident Asociación Amateurs de Football and official Asociación Argentina de Football merged in 1926.[2]
Argentino only spent one season in the second division, returning to Primera at the end of 1927 season. The team finished 2nd after champion El Porvenir therefore both teams promoted to the highest division of Argentine football. Argentino played from 1928 to 1931 in the Asociación Amateurs (AAF) with poor campaigns in those seasons. When Argentine football became professional in 1931, Argentino de Banfield remained playing in AAF until 1931. On 15 March 1932 the players of Argentino joined Club Atlético Temperley team and the new squad was renamed "Argentino de Temperley",[3] although both clubs Argentino and Temperley continued their social and other sports activities separately.
Nevertheless it did not last so long because in 1932 Club Argentino de Banfield was dissolved so the players separated from Temperley although it continued playing as "Argentino de Temperley" during the 1933 and 1934 championships in the AAF amateur league. When this association merged with professional league at the end of the season, all its teams (including Argentino de Temperley) were relegated to the second division. Finally on 12 July 1935 members of the club renamed it as "Club Atlético Temperley" again.[3] [4]
