In 1909 Argentinos gained affiliation with the Argentine Football Association, but in 1912 they were involved in the first schism in Argentine football when they joined the breakaway "Federación de Fútbol". In 1920 they played a promotion playoff with El Porvenir but lost 3-2 on aggregate, one year later they secured promotion to the Primera, and made their dabut in the 1922 season, where they competed well, finishing in 6th place.

In 1927 the two separate football associations reunified and Argentinos played in a massive 34 team league, the league was expanded to 36 and Argentinos managed to keep their place until 1930.

1931-1966

In 1931 Argentinos joined 17 other clubs in forming a breakaway professional league, a move that marked the beginning of the professional era of Argentine football. In 1934 the Amateur league was broken up and Argentina once again had a unified first division. As part of this move, Argentinos Juniors were unified with Club Atlético Atlanta, the season progressed badly, and after 25 rounds the union was dissolved due to financial irregularities in the Atlanta books. Argentinos Juniors played on but finished bottom of the league with only 2 wins from 39 games.

Argentinos were allowed to keep their place in the Primera, but succumbed to relegation in 1937 after finishing second from bottom of the table.

In 1940 Argentinos enjoyed a good campaign in a new stadium, which culminated in winning the 2nd division^[3], but the club were not allowed promotion because their ground did not meet the requirements of the Primera División, and AFA would not make an exeption for Argentinos to play at another ground, even though they had done so for several other promoted clubs in previous seasons. Primera B Nacional (usually called simply Nacional B, in English National B Division) is the second most important category of Argentine football (soccer), and its organized by the Argentine Football Association. ...

In 1943 Hector Ingunza made his first appearance for the club, he went on to become the top scorer in the clubs history with 143 goals in official games between 1943 and 1946.

In 1948 Argentinos suffered another injustice at the hands of AFA, they had qualified to the end of season playoff for promotion to the Primera and were top of the league after 7 of the 11 rounds when a players strike interrupted the competition. AFA eventually abandoned the playoff and gave automatic promotion to the teams that had been relegated in 1946 and 1947 instead.

In 1954 Argentinos finished in 2nd place in the league having scored 88 goals in the league, making them the highest scoring team by far. In 1955 they finally secured promotion back to the Primera after 18 long years. They returned to top flight competition in 1956 and after finishing near the bottom of the table that year, they secured comfortable mid-table finishes over the next few seasons.

1960 saw a complete overhaul of the Argentinos Juniors team, the new team performed well and it was only on the last game of the season that they missed out on the championship. They finished in 3rd place, only 2 points below the eventual champions Independiente. Although they didn't win the championship, the team is fondly remembered by those old enough to have seen them play^[4]. In the following years the team did not live up to expectations, rarely finishing in the top half of the table.

1967-1984

1967 saw the introduction of the Metropolitano and Nacional system, Argentinos struggled to adapt and only just survived relegation from the Metropolitano in the inaugural season.

In 1975 Argentinos Juniors finished 19th of 20 teams, but were extremely fortune in that no teams were relegated from the Metropolitano that season.

On Thursday October 20, 1976, fans of Argentinos Juniors and a few travelling Talleres fans witnessed probably the most important debut in the history of Argentine football. With Argentinos losing 1-0 the manager, Juan Carlos Montes sent on a fifteen year old debutant named Diego Armando Maradona making him the leagues youngest ever player until his record was brioken by Sergio Agüero in 2003. Argentinos lost the game but Diego went on to propel the club forward over the next four years and to achieve great successes with other clubs and the Argentina national team. In the 1979 Metropolitano Diego became the youngest topscorer in the history of Argentine football with 14 goals, he went on to become top scorer in the following three tournaments, matching José Sanfilippo's record of being Argentina's topscorer on four consecutive occasions.
