Apart from basketball and football, other sports practised at Estudiantes are karate, artistic roller skating and volleyball. == History == The club was established by a group of students ("Estudiantes" in Spanish) from the city of Concordia, with the purpose of joining students of the city through sports disciplines. At the beginning, association football was the main sport of the club. The green color represented "hope" and the white, "purity". For over the years Estudiantes was adding activities, such as basketball. Estudiantes rented the facilities of Club Vasco on La Rioja and Catamarca streets, where works began to make the arena suitable for the practise of that sport. In 1951, Estudiantes added a female basketball section. Eleven years later, the Municipality of Concordia gave Estudiantes a land next to Mitre Park, which was destinated to the practise of football until the 1990s when the Municipality took over the land again. Other sections added were karate (in late 1990s) and volleyball in 2003. In 1984 Estudiantes promoted to the second division (Liga B), winning the championship one year later. Gustavo Aguirre, Eduardo Pagella, Eduardo López, Esteban de la Fuente and American James Milton Bradley were some of the notable players of that team, coached by Edgardo Vecchio. Estudiantes won the last round of that tournament facing Ciclista Olímpico, Peñarol, Sportivo 9 de Julio, Gimnasia y Esgrima (LP) and Sportivo San Salvador, winning the series with 6 victories and 4 losses therefore promoting the first division, Liga Nacional.〔("Campeón Liga Nacional B 1986" ), Estudiantes website〕 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「Estudiantes Concordia」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
