Albion

Albion Football Club is a Uruguayan club based in Montevideo, founded on 1 June 1891 as "Football Association" by students from the English High School and recognised as the oldest football club in Uruguay. Its high-performance Sports City is in the La Esperanza neighbourhood, and its headquarters, Albion House, is in the Carrasco neighbourhood. The club was a leading force in the golden age from 1895 to 1900, when it became the first Uruguayan club to win outside Uruguay and won the Copa de Competencia in 1900. After a decline and refoundation in 1953, Albion won the Segunda División B Nacional in 2017 and the Segunda División in 2021, returning to the top flight for the first time since 1908.
