The club would be promoted and relegated to lower divisions during the 1980s and 1990s, even reaching the first division in 1996 although Universitario did not last too much time in that level. In 2004 Universitario achieved its second promotion to first division although the team would be soon relegated to the second division, Torneo de la URBA Grupo II〔 In 2013, Universitario promoted to first division to play the 2014 season.〔("Universitario sigue de fiesta", ''El Día'', 1 Oct 2013 )〕 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 Universitario de La Plata」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
