Founded in 1904
El Semillero del Mundo, the nursery of the world. Argentinos are based in the Buenos Aires neighborhood of La Paternal and while not one of the famous 'Big 5', they are many people's 2nd team. That's due to the fact they are known to produce some of the best young players in the country who go on to play for the biggest clubs, such as Fernando Redondo, Juan Román Riquelme and Esteban Cambiasso. The most famous of all of course is Diego Maradona, who joined the famous Cebollitas (little onions) youth team aged 10 and played 5 years in the first team before moving to Boca Juniors for a then-record $1million dollars.

El Bicho Colorado (the red bug) was founded by a group of anarchists named the 'Martyrs of Chicago' in honour of the 7 executed in the wake of the Haymarket affair. They chose red as their shirt colour as a nod to socialism but had to change to green and white in the early years as Independiente already wore red.

Diego Armando Maradona

Capacity: 26,000
Neighbourhood: La Paternal - Buenos Aires City

The Maradona stadium fits into one block among the residential Paternal neighbourhood and is enveloped by impressive murals painted by the club’s fans. It has just 3 stands, with the 4th side being just a perimeter wall. In recent years the club have started using a specially-designed inflatable tunnel for the players to withdraw from the field to the dressing room - a massive Maradona screaming in ecstasy, not to be missed! Just a few blocks away you can visit the Casa de D10s - Diego’s first real home where he lived with his family after joining the club.
