Arsenal de Sarandí is a sports club based in the Avellaneda Partido of Greater Buenos Aires, Argentina. In addition to football, the club hosts other sports such as field hockey, futsal, and handball.

Compared to other Argentinean clubs, Arsenal is a relatively young club, having been founded in 1957, by the former president of AFA, Julio Humberto Grondona. Arsenal reached the first division for the first time in 2002 and has won five titles in its history. Arsenal won its first Primera División championship in 2012, having previously won the Copa Sudamericana in 2007.

The club's colors are red and light blue, in honor of Avellaneda's traditional teams, Independiente and Racing. The club's nickname "El Viaducto" refers to the Avellaneda viaduct, a railway bridge over the Riachuelo River. It has become a symbol of the club and is featured prominently in its logo.

Jorge Burruchaga is the club's most famous former player, having started his career at Arsenal in 1979, and having served as a coach on several occasions. Burruchaga, or "Burru" as he is nicknamed, scored the winning goal for Argentina in the 1986 FIFA World Cup final against Germany.

The fans of Arsenal are known as "La Mafia". Although the club is relatively new and doesn't have a traditional clásico rival, it is believed that Club El Porvenir could be its closest one. Quite a few matches were played between the two clubs, due to the constant presence in different leagues of Argentine football.

Atletico Tucuman is a professional football club based in the city of San Miguel de Tucuman, Argentina. The club was founded on September 27, 1902, and it's one of the first social and sports clubs in the north of the country. It has a historical rivalry with San Martin de Tucuman.

In the first years of foundation, the institution was not known by "The Dean" nickname, but rather had nicknames with a more social connotation at that time. For this reason, the supporters of Atletico were first considered as "ojitos verdes" or "pitucos". This was due to the location of their stadium and the social level they had, which was much higher than that of the fans of their lifelong rivals from San Martin, who were known as "greengrocers" or "surgeons", due to their proximity to the market (Mercado de Abasto).

The "Dean" nickname was given many years later, due to since when it was baptized, Atletico had been the first soccer club founded in the Argentine North and one of the pioneers of the entire country. That is, the C.A.T. was the dean for the years that he had been spreading his football through the Argentine fields.

Atletico Tucuman was the first team in all of Argentina to wear a jersey with vertical white and light blue stripes. It's also worth noting, that the design of the shirt and the colors of the club weren't changed throughout all of history.

One of the club's most notable players is Luis Miguel Rodriguez, also known as "Pulga" Rodriguez, who played for the team for several years and helped to lead Atletico Tucuman to historic achievements, including promotion to the Primera Division and a Copa Argentina title in 2017.

Atletico Tucuman barra brava, known as La Inimitable, is dominated by two families who are actually blood relatives: the González and the Acevedo. Both families have many political connections and once managed to hang the La Inimitable flag from the balcony of the government house in Tucuman.
