History
According with the club's official history, River Plate was founded on 25 May 1901, close to the La Boca neighborhood (later the home of fierce rivals Boca Juniors). They were formed from the merger of two clubs, "Santa Rosa" and "La Rosales", with Leopoldo Bard elected as the first president. The name River Plate was chosen because of an incident during the construction of Buenos Aires Port: one of the members had seen how the workers of Dique nº 3 left their duties for a while to play a football match. The boxes they were working with just said "The River Plate" (the name the English gave to the Río de la Plata) and that inscription was taken to name the new club.
River Plate affiliated to the Argentine Football Association in 1905, debuting in the third division against Facultad de Medicina. On 13 December 1908, the team was promoted to first division after beating Racing Club 2–1. However, the match was declared null due to River supporters jumping onto the field to celebrate with the players, so a new match had to be played. River again won, this time 7–0, to achieve promotion.
In 1914 River won its first domestic championship, the Copa de Competencia Jockey Club and its first international title, the Copa de Competencia Chevallier Boutell. The nickname Los Millonarios came after the acquisition of winger Carlos Peucelle in 1931 for $10,000 and Bernabé Ferreyra for $35,000 (Large sum of money for the period) in 1932.
In the following years, River Plate consolidated its place as one of the most popular teams of Argentina, and the 20th century brought much success. The club's record of 28 official tournaments saw them dubbed El Campeón del Siglo (The Champions of the Century).
Known for their passionate fan base and iconic red and white striped jerseys, River Plate has won numerous league titles, Copa Libertadores championships, and other prestigious trophies throughout their storied history.
The team plays their home matches at the iconic Estadio Monumental, which has a capacity of over 60,000 spectators. River Plate has produced some of the greatest players in Argentine soccer history, including legends like Alfredo Di Stefano, Enzo Francescoli, and Ariel Ortega.
With a tradition of attacking, attractive soccer, River Plate is known for their skilled players, dynamic style of play, and fierce rivalry with fellow Buenos Aires club Boca Juniors. The team's success and passionate fan base have made them one of the most beloved and respected clubs in Argentine soccer.
