Estudiantes de La Plata is an Argentinean professional football club located in La Plata. It is one of the most entitled and revered sides in Argentina.
On August 4, 1905 a group of footballers decided to create a football team. They called themselves Club Atlético Estudiantes. The club`s first match came against Nacional Juniors on November 7, 1905. In 1911 Los Pincharratas were crowned Primera B champions and made a step into the Primera División. Two years later Estudiantes delivered their first silverware.
In the 1930s the team possessed a powerful front-line of Miguel Ángel Lauri, Alberto Zozaya, Manuel Ferreira and Alejandro Scopelli, known as Los Profesores. Opposition defenses had no answer to their combined talents. In the 1965 Osvaldo Zubeldía became the club`s new manager. Under his stewardship Estudiantes clinched the 1967 Campeonato Metropolitano, 3 Copa Libertadores (1968, 1969 and 1970) and the 1968 Intercontinental Cup.
The team would go on to win the Primera División in 1982 and 1983. Later, Estudiantes lost some form, which led to its relegation in 1994. In 1995 Los Pincharratas made a return to the elite division.
On April 17, 2005 the team beat Newell's Old Boys and secured their 1000th victory. A year later Estudiantes delivered its first silverware since 1983. In 2009 the club lifted the Copa Libertadores for the fourth time in its history. The year of 2010 saw Estudiantes win the Primera División again.
Estudiantes is currently captained by Juan Sebastián Verón. The club`s official colours are red and white.
