Chacarita Juniors

Club Atlético Chacarita Juniors, usually known as Chacarita, was founded on 1 May 1906 in an anarchist library on the boundary between the Villa Crespo and Chacarita neighbourhoods of Buenos Aires, and the club is headquartered in Villa Crespo. Its stadium is located in Villa Maipú, General San Martín Partido, Greater Buenos Aires, and the squad currently plays in Primera Nacional, the second division of the Argentine league system. The club is nicknamed the Funebreros ("Undertakers") because its ground was near the La Chacarita Cemetery, and its red, white and black colours reflect its socialist origins and that cemetery connection. Its most notable era came in 1969, when it won its only first division title, the Metropolitano championship.
