River Plate Soccer Team
Club Atlético River
Plate, known also as River Plate or simply River, is a football
team of Argentina, founded in 1901. Its home base is the neighborhood
of Nuñez, in Buenos Aires, and it plays at the Estadio
"Monumental" Antonio V. Liberti.
The club's name is the traditional English name
of the river next to Buenos Aires. It is believed that, in
the club's early days, one of the founders saw sailors in
the Buenos Aires port unloading boxes, and was intrigued by
the markings on them: "The River Plate".
