Córdoba Athletic Club, or simply Córdoba Athletic, is a sports club from the city of Córdoba. Founded in 1882, Córdoba Athletic is the oldest sports club in Córdoba Province. The institution is mostly known for its rugby union team, which plays at the Torneo de Córdoba, the first division of the Unión Cordobesa de Rugby league system. The rugby team is one of the most successful in the province, having won the Torneo de Córdoba title 16 times, the last in 2011. In field hockey, the club is affiliated to amateur Córdoba Field Hockey Federation,〔("Clubes afiliados", Federación de Hockey de Córdoba website ), retrieved 2013-01-04〕 where its teams compete. Other sports practiced at the club include tennis and swimming. ==History== Like many Argentina sports and social clubs at the time, Córdoba Athletic Club was founded by English rail workers. The exact date of the club's creation is unknown but is thought to be either 17 April or 15 November 1882. For its first few years in existence the club would be dominated by British expatriates and the official language at the club would be English. Originally, the club was founded as an athletics club. Rugby would only appear at CAC in 1898. For a time the club also played football, until it became professional in Argentina in 1931, being abandoned by the club. As the only club in the province for a long time, CAC had to travel down to Rosario for competition. There, CAC would often compete with that city's oldest club Atlético del Rosario. The ties between both clubs remain strong today. Although one of the most successful in the province, Córdoba Athletic as so far failed to make any impact on the national scene, unlike fellow cordobeso clubs such as Tala and La Tablada, which have both reached the Nacional de Clubes final. 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「Córdoba Athletic Club」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
