'Club Atlético Vélez Sársfield' is an Argentine sports club best known for its football team, based in the Liniers neighborhood of western Buenos Aires.
It was founded in 1910 in the Floresta neighborhood, next to a railroad station named after 1869 drafter of the Argentine Civil Code Dalmacio Vélez Sársfield. The club first participated in the amateur first division league in 1919 (runners-up), and has been a professional first division fixture since the advent of professionalism in 1931. Relegated only once, in 1941, it returned to the first division in 1943.
Probably the most important player and coach of the team has been Carlos Bianchi. With him, Vélez obtained its first title in 1968, and Bianchi was Argentine Top scorer in 1970, 1971 and then again during his second tenure in 1981. As team coach, Bianchi drove Vélez to three titles (Clausura 1993, Apertura 1995 and Clausura 1996), 1994 Copa Libertadores, 1994 Intercontinental Cup and 1996 Copa Interamericana.
The most important of these cups was won vs AC Milan in 1994, when they beat the Italian side by two goals to nil, being Roberto Trotta(PK) and Omar 'The Turkish' Asad the scorers of that game.
During the nineties, notable players included Paraguayan goalkeeper José Luis Chilavert and Argentinian forward Omar Asad ("El Turco"), who scored the winning goal in the Intercontinental Cup final
After a spell of fruitless years, the club clinched the last professional title in 2005 (Clausura 2005).
Velez foundation dates back to 1910. It was on a rainy day when three lads sheltered in Floresta Railway Station because of a summer storm. These three guys were Julio Guglielmone, Martin Portillo and Nicolas Martín Moreno.They themselves decided to establish a new club with the mere plan of joining and taking part in some league.
After the storm, the lads headed for Marin Moreno's house, which was at a stone's throw from Floresta Railway Station. Floresta had been the last call of a primitive railway which connected downtown with the 'far west'.
The guys, with the help of a bunch of other men, decided to establish Argentinian Velez Sarsfield Football Club(Club Atlético Argentinos de Velez Sarsfield)and appointed Luis Barredo as their first chairman.Their first field was the piece of land located at United Provincies St.-Provincias Unidas-, currently Juan Bautista Alberdi, Convention St, currently Jose Bonifacio, and Mariano Acosta and Ensenada.
After founding a club, a kit is needed. That was why they chose white shirts(they were easier to get. However, that kit was changed two years later. On February 3rd 1912 they chose navy blue shirts with white shorts.
In spite of the enthusiasm of all this revolution in the neighbourhood, things were not looking as expected. They couldn't join the Argentinian League. The name was also changed; Argenitinian was rubbed away from the original name of the club.From that they on, the club holds the same name, Velez Sarsfield Football Club.
Nearly at the end of 1912, the board decided to rent a new field, located in the neighbourhood of Mataderos, at Tapalque St., between Escalada and Chascomus St. A wind mill provided water for the dressing rooms.
In 1941, another moving had to be performed: the field was towered in the neighbourhood of Villa Luro. On March 14th and owing to the great amount of Italian inmigrants who were members of the club, the kit was changed again. The new colours adopted were green, red and white, which were the colours of the Italian flag. From then on, the club played in green, red and white stripes.
The club was finally elected to the Argentinian League in 1918. The club had a breathtaking performance in their first year in the top-flight. Velez ended up in the 2nd position, just 4 points upper than River Plate and Defensores Belgrano. In their debut, Velez defeated Independiente one nil. In 1920, the club ended 6th among 19 sides.Apart from that, Velez boasted their only top scorer in the amateur era, that's Santiago Carreras slotting 20 goals.Some months later, the Argentinian National team calls up the first Velez player. This man was Jose Bofia, who on May 25th 1921 played the game in which Argentina hammered Chile 4-1 in Valaparaiso.
This is undoubtly the most era in Velez's history. In this decade, they clinched most of their silverware, having won 9 titles, both domestic as international.
Velez's fans are usually known as 'Los Fortineros'. Velez's fanbase has increased tremendosuly in the nineties after winning so much silverware. One of the latest surveys shows Velez is the 6th most poular club in the country.
Velez's fanbase, largely drawn from the west of Buenos Aires and the surroundings of Liniers, with home matches traditionally attracting high attendances in the thousands. The fact that the club is at a stone's throw from Liniers Railway Station, helps fans to travel long distances by train.
Fans travel by train from General Rodriguez, La Reja, Moreno, Merlo, San Antonio de Padua, Castelar, Moron, Ramos Mejia up to Liniers.
Vélez Sársfield has no direct rival. Ferrocarril Oeste, based in the neighbourhood of Caballito, is sometimes said to be Velez's historical rival. However, this rivalry has faded out mainly because the teams play in different divisions. They have not faced each other since 2000, when Velez beat Ferrocarril Oeste away 1-0.
Recently, a rivalry between Vélez and Nueva Chicago has begun, mainly due to the locations of their neighbourhoods rather than rivalry on the pitch. Vélez's heart is in the neighbourhood of Liniers whereas Nueva Chicago's is at Mataderos.
Historically, Vélez has beaten Nueva Chicago nine times while Nueva Chicago beat Vélez once.
Vélez also has minor rivalries with Argentinos Juniors, San Lorenzo, River Plate, Estudiantes de La Plata, and Boca Juniors.
The ''José Amalfitani'' stadium (named after the club's president for over 30 years) holds 49,747 people, and it's also frequently used for concerts and matches of the Argentina rugby team. The stadium is located on 9200 Juan B. Justo avenue, in the Liniers neighborhood, a short walk from the Liniers train station.
It was also used in the 1978 World Cup in Argentina.
