Club Sport Patria
Club Sport Patria is a soccer club based in Guayaquil, Ecuador. Patria was one of the first football clubs founded in Ecuador and right now it is the oldest team in existence in the country.
History
The birth of Patria goes back to the year 1906 when a group of young men from the Atarazana neighborhood in Guayaquil got together and decided to create a sports club. They initially called their group simply as "Guayaquil". Two years later they got together once again, but this time they decided to make their club official and that is how the Club Sport Patria was born on september 18, 1908.
Mr. Agustin Febres-Cordero Tyler one of the club's original founders declared that the first fields where the team ever played were the streets of Guayaquil, some of them now very important streets in the city like the 9 de Octubre Avenue now one of the bussiest streets in the city.
