The city of Rosario was no exception and many football enthusiasts would meet in public parks to have a kick around. Football clubs were being founded all over the city and young players from the Salta and Oroño neighbourhoods decided to follow suit and create a club of their own. This is how Club Atlético Provincial came to be founded on 25 May 1903, thanks to the generosity of the Banco Español Rosario branch's director of the time. Originally a football only club, an athletics section would be added in 1910 then tennis in 1920, basketball in 1923 and many other sports would follow along the years. When football became professional in Argentina in the 1930s, CAP decided to remain amateur and football is now played at a recreative level at the club. Most other sports, however, are practiced at a competitive level and many CAP members went on to represent Argentina at international level. The first of which was Luis Brunetto who represented Argentina in Triple jump at the 1924 Summer Olympics, winning the silver medal. Today, the club is mostly known for its rugby union team. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Club Atlético Provincial」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
