Club Atlético San Lorenzo de Almagro

Hotels near Club Atlético San Lorenzo de Almagro, Villa Martinez de Hoz, Argentina .

In Buenos Aires and in much of Argentina, soccer is life. Teams represent both neighborhoods as well as cities, with even the same town fiercely divided in loyalty. While the big names like Boca Juniors and River Plate are well-known internationally, other clubs don't receive as much world-wide attention.

One of the many Buenos Aires football clubs in the city is Club Atlético San Lorenzo de Almagro. Based in Bodeo with a distinctive blue and red vertical stripe motif as team colors, Club Atlético San Lorenzo de Almagro is one of the most grassroots and inspiring teams in the whole city.

In the 1900s, rowdy youngsters in the Almagro neighborhood would invite gangs from other parts of the city to come play them through taunting street graffiti, but with the expansion of the various public transportation systems, playing in the street became a bit of a safety concern. It is from those slightly boastful but humble beginnings that the Club Atlético San Lorenzo de Almagro came, with the club quickly becoming one of the top five clubs in the city by the 1930s.

As with many soccer-related stories in Buenos Aires, the club has seen its share of ups and downs, be it history-making wins against their rival, River Plate, tours of Spain and Portugal, and economic crisis that forced sales of original stadiums and almost spelled the end of the team. Today, fans can see games at the Estadio Pedro Bidegain, where almost 50,000 fans cram in to catch the latest match.

Catching Club Atlético San Lorenzo de Almagro is best arranged by checking to see what the schedule is for home games. A number of hotels are just a short distance from the stadium, including Hotel Tribeca Apart, Hotel Boutique Lola House, and Hotel Directorio.
