History

The club was founded on 4 August 1905 by university students who felt left out by the management of Gimnasia y Esgrima de La Plata, which favored indoor games over football.

In the early days, the team wore a blue blazer on top of the jersey when entering the pitch. Gimnasia y Esgrima de La Plata is a sports club in La Plata, Buenos Aires province, Argentina, mostly known for its successful basketball team of the 1970s and 1980s and for its professional football team. ...

The stadium on 1st Avenue opened on 25 December 1907 (it has undergone several rounds of upgrading). Before the advent of professionalism, Estudiantes won the 1913 league title.

When professionalism was adopted in Argentina in 1931, Estudiantes had a famous offensive lineup: Lauri-Scopelli-Zozaya-Ferreyra-Guayta, known as Los Profesores (The Professors), and still regarded as one of Argentina's all-time finest. Guayta and Scopelli played for the Italy national team that conquered the 1934 World Cup. The Sbarra brothers (Raúl and Roberto) and Armando Nery were feared defensive players. Alberto Zozaya scored the first goal of professional football in Argentina and was the top goalscorer of the first professional tournament. 1931 (MCMXXXI) was a common year starting on Thursday (link is to a full 1931 calendar). ...

The 1950s saw the rise of Ogando, Garcerón, Bouché, Urriolabeitia, Infante, Antonio, and striker Manuel Pellegrina, who is the all-time top scorer with 221 goals.

In the 1960s, Miguel Ignomiriello coached the under-19 team known as La Tercera que Mata (The Killer Juveniles), which would evolve (together with a few acquisitions) into the team coached by Osvaldo Zubeldía that won the 1967 Metropolitano championship (Starting in 1967, Argentina holds two championships each season). Osvaldo Juan ZubeldÃa, (June 10, 1927 - January 17, 1982) was an influential Argentine football (soccer) coach. ...

With that title, Estudiantes became the first club outside of the "five greats" (Boca Juniors, River Plate, Racing Club, Independiente, and San Lorenzo) to obtain professional titles. This opened the gates; other "small" clubs, starting with Chacarita Juniors and Vélez Sarsfield, followed suit.

The last part of the Zubeldía era was marred by the antics of some players. Following a very violent Intercontinental match against Milan, the entire team was arrested on orders from Argentine President Juan Carlos Onganía; in an unprecedented step, goalkeeper Poletti was suspended for life (he was later pardoned), and hatchet-man Aguirre Suárez was also singled out for punishment. Because of several such events, it became a cliché to refer to Zubeldía's football as el antifútbol. Juan Carlos OnganÃa Carballo (1914-1995) was a military president of Argentina from 29 June 1966 to 8 June 1970. ...

Juan Ramón Verón was the most gifted player on that team. He profited from the no-nonsense playing of Conigliaro, Echecopar, and Madero, and the tactical guidance provided by Bilardo. Right-back Manera was a very talented player, but suffered from repeated injuries and did not realize his full potential. Juan RamÃ³n VerÃ³n (born March 17, 1944) was a professional Argentine football player. ...

During the 1970 season, Bilardo retired from play and got involved in his family's furniture business. Soon he started to coach, alternating between Estudiantes and Colombian teams. He coached Estudiantes in 1982, when the team won the Metropolitano championship. Under his successor Eduardo Luján Manera, also a member of the Zubeldía team, Estudiantes won the 1983 Nacional tournament as well. Both wins were at the expense of a star-studded Independiente. 1982 (MCMLXXXII) was a common year starting on Friday of the Gregorian calendar. ... 1983 (MCMLXXXIII) was a common year starting on Saturday of the Gregorian calendar. ...

Those championship teams were anchored by a solid defense (Camino on the right and Herrera on the left were also fearsome attackers, and Brown provided security as a sweeper), and also had three creative mid-fielders (Ponce, Sabella, Trobbiani, with Russo to guard their backs) and two top-notch strikers (Gottardi, Trama).

Stadium and Training Grounds

Jorge Luis Hirschi Stadium is located on 1st Avenue, between 55th and 57th Streets, in central La Plata. In its previous incarnation, it had room for 23,000.

The Eastern side was roofed and had the best seating arrangements.

When a modern stadium was built for the city of La Plata in the 1990s, both Estudiantes and Gimnasia decided initially relocating their home games. Specifically, Estudiantes was denied permission for upgrading its stadium, which was closed down in September 2005 because of new safety regulations that forbid standing-only wooden stands. Even though a restraining order exempted Estudiantes from the prohibition, the city government refused to comply, which strained relations between the club and City Hall.

As a stopgap measure, for the 2005 Apertura Estudiantes played its home games in the nearby Gimnasia stadium, and after that to the Quilmes field. There, Estudiantes made history with a come-from-behind 4-3 win against Sporting Cristal).

In August 2006, it was reported [3] that an agreement to rebuild the stands to allow a capacity of 18,000 is in the works, so that Estudiantes can return to its home field at some point in the future.

The training grounds are in the Country Club premises in City Bell, a few kilometres north of La Plata.

Fans also call the team el león (the lion), orgullo de la ciudad (pride of the city), los capos de La Plata (the bosses of La Plata), and Tricampeón (three-time champion) because of its Libertadores three-peat.
