Argentina

argentinamap.jpg

The Argentine situation, deeply rooted in Buenos Aires, is taken as a model by football. The fulcrum of the teams that play in the Argentine championship is based in the capital. Boca Juniors and River Plate are the country’s most popular teams, but other teams with strong traditions exist in the urban sprawl of Buenos Aires. Vélez Sársifield and Banfield are taking part this year in the Copa Libertadores, the “Champions League” of South America. In the quarter where the tango was born, at Boedo, there is San Lorenzo, a team coached this year by Ramon Diaz, now at the top of the league. In the locality called Avellaneda, the big rivalry is between Independiente and Racing. Not far away is Arsenal of Sarandi. Nueva Chicago, Lanus, Quilmes and Argentinos Juniors are the other teams of the capital taking part in the “Primera”, the Argentine major league. At La Plata, just a few kilometres from Baires, are Estudiantes and Gimnasia. Estudiantes, managed by “Cholo" Diego Simeone won the play-off, beating Boca in the last Apertura championship. The Argentine season elects two winners. The start-of-season championship, the Apertura, starts in September and ends in January; in February, the Clausura starts, which takes the teams to the South-American winter. A lot of rivalry also exists outside Buenos Aires. The strongest is between Rosario Central and Newell’s Old Boys, a historical “clásico” – as local derbys are called here – of Argentinian “futbol”. In Santa Fé, the capital of the province of the same name which also comprises Rosario, there is Colón. The other three teams in the “Primera extra porteño” (the word “porteño” indicates belonging to Buenos Aires) are Belgrano of Cordoba, Godoy Cruz (province of Mendoza) and Gimnasia of Jujuy, a town bordering on Bolivia.
