River Plate

Club Atlético River Plate, commonly known as River Plate, is one of the most successful and iconic football clubs in Argentina and the world. Founded on May 25, 1901, in Buenos Aires, River Plate has a rich and storied history, being a cornerstone of Argentine football culture. The club's home stadium, the monumental Estadio Monumental , is one of the largest in South America and a symbol of the team's grandeur.

River Plate's colors, red and white, have become synonymous with the club, and the famous red sash across their white shirts is one of the most recognizable football kits globally. The club’s fanbase, known as “Los Millonarios,” is passionate and widespread, with the team consistently drawing massive crowds at home and away games.

River Plate has been the dominant force in Argentine football, winning numerous Primera División titles, Copa Libertadores trophies, and international accolades. Their success is built on a strong tradition of developing talented players, with a youth academy that has produced stars like Ariel Ortega, Daniel Passarella, and more recently, Gonzalo Higuaín and Javier Saviola.

The rivalry with Boca Juniors, known as the Superclásico , is one of the most intense and celebrated in world football. Matches between the two clubs represent more than just a football game—they embody a fierce cultural, social, and political divide in Argentina.

On the global stage, River Plate's triumphs in the Copa Libertadores and their 2015 victory in the Copa Sudamericana and the 2018 Copa Libertadores final against Boca Juniors in Madrid, further solidified their place as one of the world’s elite clubs. River Plate’s history, success, and identity make it a true giant in the world of football.
