Club Sportivo Barracas is a sports club from Buenos Aires, Argentina, although the football team plays its home games in Bol var, Buenos Aires Province since 2003. Sportivo Barracas was born as a rowing club, nevertheless it is mostly known for its football activities nowadays. The squad currently plays in Primera D Metropolitana, which is the regionalised fourth level of the Argentine Football Association league system. The club was founded in 1913 in its headquarters still located in the barrio of Barracas in Buenos Aires, as Club Sportivo Barracas. It played in the top flight of Argentine football in the era before the professionalisation of the game in 1931, when it became one of the biggest clubs to make the decision of staying amateur. This decision paid dividends because the following year they became the 1932 AAF Champions. It remained unaffiliated to AFA from 1936 to 1967, never regaining its amateur notability since its return.
