Club Social y Deportivo Tristán Suárez is an Argentine football club from Tristán Suárez city, in Greater Buenos Aires. The squad currently plays in Primera B Metropolitana, the regionalised third division of the Argentine football league system.

[edit] History

The club was founded on August 8, 1929, under the name Sportivo Tristán Suárez, and began to participate in the football tournaments of Esteban Echeverría and Cañuelas cities from 1931 to 1963, when Tristán Suárez affiliated to Argentine Football Association to participate in Primera D. Tristán Suárez debuted officially on May 2, 1964, in the Viejo Gasómetro (San Lorenzo de Almagro old venue) being defeated by Club Piraña.

In 1975 Tristán Suárez won its first title, promoting to Primera C. At the end of that season the team (coached by Horacio Harguindeguy) had finishing sharing the first position with Deportivo Merlo so a match between both teams had to be played in order to proclaim a champion. Tristán Suárez finally beat Deportivo Merlo in a penalty shootout after the regular match ended 1-1.

Tristán Suárez debuted on Primera C in 1976, with a 1-1 draw against Deportivo Armenio. In 1994 the team won its second title, the Torneo Apertura, with goalkeeper Alejandro Otamendi remaining 1,115 consecutive minuted unbeaten setting a new record. Tristán Suárez later won the Torneo Reducido after defeating Deportivo Paraguayo, Flandria and Berazategui, therefore the team promoted to the upper division, Primera B Metropolitana.

Suárez debuted on Primera B Metropolitana beating Sportivo Dock Sud. One year later, the team won the 1996 Apertura defeating Colegiales. The club had to play two matches against Defensa y Justicia (1997 Clausura winner) in order to promote to Primera B Nacional but Suárez lost the series.

In 2004 Tristán Suárez had another chance to promote to Primera B Nacional, but was defeated at the hands of Unión de Santa Fe
