Quilmes Atletico Club
Quilmes Atletico Club is the oldest football team in Argentina currently playing in the Argentine 2nd division
Founded in 1887 by J. T. Stevenson in Quilmes under the name of Quilmes Rovers Club and later renamed to Quilmes Athletic Club in 1900. Its first team was completely formed by British immigrants:
Fothergil; Penman (captain), Francis; Tuker, Wilson, Moffat; Lamont, Muir, Belaumont, Morgan and Cladewell.
The club acquired its current name in 1950, because Peron wanted to change it to a Spanish form.
Also known as El Cervecero (The Brewers) because of the Cerveza Quilmes brewery of the same city (which sponsors them), it won the 1912 amateur championship, the second division titles of 1949, 1961, 1975, 1986/87, 1990/91, and the first division 1978 Metropolitano.
Quilmes started building a new stadium in 1987 to inaugurate it first in 1993, and then officially in 1995. It was extended in 1998 to its current capacity.
The old stadium of Guido and Sarmiento junction was later demolished.
The sports club has its installations in Quilmes with activities that include tennis, basketball, volleyball, and most notably field hockey, with a field hockey stadium (Estadio Nacional de Hockey) with 6,000 seats, and whose successful female and male professional teams have won 17 and 13 first division championships respectively.
