Club Atletico Huracan
Club Atletico Huracan is a professional football team from Buenos Aires, Argentina. At the end of the 2006-2007 season the club gained promotion to the Primera Division Argentina after a 5-2 aggregate win over Godoy Cruz Antonio Tomba in a playoff match.
Though officially founded in 1908, there are papers of a previous foundation on May 25, 1903. Their eternal rival is San Lorenzo de Almagro.
Located in the Parque Patricios neighbourhood of Buenos Aires, Huracan had their moment of glory in the Metropolitano 1973, when they won their only first division title since the end of amateur era. They also won the 1989/90 and 1999/2000 Second Division Championships. Before professionalization of football by the Argentine Football Association in 1931, the club captured the 1921, 1922, 1925 and 1928 Argentine leagues.
Although over recent years Huracan has played several seasons in the 2nd division it has only lost the top category placement category only a few times, and is one of the most popular teams in the country.
Huracan's fans are called Quemeros ("burners") because years ago there was a garbage burning station at the present location of the Stadium.
