[edit] History
The club was founded on September 18, 1975, during a meeting held in Alfredo San Miguel's house in Berazategui. The club's first president was Giberto Martín. The orange colour of the clubs shirts was inspired by the Netherlands national football team which was a sensation during the 1974 FIFA World Cup. In March 1976 the club was affiliated to the Argentine Football Association (AFA) and made its league debut in Primera D. In the first season Berazategui finished in the second place (Defensores de Cambaceres was the champion) and therefore was promoted to the next level, Primera C.
After nine seasons in this division, Berazategui obtained one of the six available places to participate in the Primera B Metropolitana, following a restructuring of the Argentine football league system, even though they had finished the 1985 season fighting to keep it place in the division and almost coming back to Primera D. Under new coach Roberto Santiago era, the club signed new players including Hugo Commidari from Club Atlético Temperley, Marcelo Grasso from Sportivo Dock Sud and Marcelo Scrigner from Club Atlético Villa San Carlos.[1]
After two promotions, Berazategui came close to promotion again in the 1988-89 season and finally won the first championship in 1989-90 when the Club won the Apertura Tournament[1]. That season was obtained by Berazategui with a record of 44 matches without being defeated. The squad was coached by Juan Carlos "Lobo" Zerrillo, which formed a team with experienced players mostly, such as the goalkeeper Sergio García, deffenders Ramón Peloso, Héctor Pereyra and Víctor Chaile, midfielders Víctor Martínez (who was also the top scorer with 15 goals) and strikers Daniel Gauto and Daniel Lettieri.
The southern team played a total of 36 matches, winning 17 (the rest 19 were ties). Berazategui was the most scorer team (61 goals) and only received 20[2].
The second title Berazategui achieved was the Primera C Apertura in 2006-07 before finally winning a promotion to Primera C Metropolitana in the 2007-08 season after winning the play-offs.
