==History== {{main|History of Club Atlético River Plate}} left|thumb|The team that achieved the promotion to first division in 1908. According with the club's official history, River Plate was founded on 25 May 1901,{{refn|group=note1|name=foundation}} close to the La Boca neighborhood (later the home of fierce rivals Boca Juniors). They were formed from the merger of two clubs, "Santa Rosa" and "La Rosales", with Leopoldo Bard elected as the first president. The name River Plate was chosen because of an incident during the construction of Buenos Aires Port: one of the members had seen how the workers of Dique nº 3 left their duties for a while to play a football match. The boxes they were working with just said "The River Plate" (the name the English gave to the Río de la Plata) and that inscription was taken to name the new club.

River Plate affiliated to the Argentine Football Association in 1905, debuting in the third division against Facultad de Medicina. On 13 December 1908, the team was promoted to first division after beating Racing Club 2–1. However, the match was declared null due to River supporters jumping onto the field to celebrate with the players, so a new match had to be played. River again won, this time 7–0, to achieve promotion.

In 1914 River won its first domestic championship, the Copa de Competencia Jockey Club<ref>{{Cite web |title=Argentina - Copa de Competencia "Jockey Club" - 1914 |url=https://www.rsssf.org/tablesa/arg-joc14.html |access-date=2024-09-05 |website=www.rsssf.org}}</ref> and its first international title, the Copa de Competencia Chevallier Boutell. The nickname ''Los Millonarios'' came after the acquisition of winger Carlos Peucelle in 1931 for $10,000 and Bernabé Ferreyra for $35,000 (a large sum of money for the period) in 1932.

In the following years, River Plate consolidated its place as one of the most popular teams of Argentina, and the 20th century brought much success. The club's record of 28 official tournaments saw them dubbed ''El Campeón del Siglo'' (The Champions of the Century).<ref>{{cite web| url=http://www.lanacion.com.ar/166487-el-campeon-del-siglo| title=El campeón del siglo| work=La Nación| date=29 December 1999| trans-title=The champions of the century| language=es| access-date=14 December 2012| archive-date=3 December 2013| archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131203021029/http://www.lanacion.com.ar/166487-el-campeon-del-siglo| url-status=dead}}</ref>

==Badge== thumb|left|120px|The first badge of River Plate, 1918 {{commons category|River Plate logos}} As in many football shirts and sports in general, the team's jersey has a badge on its front, as a symbol of the institution. When the River Plate jersey was created it did not have a badge, and its presence varied throughout the history, according to the designs of each era.<ref>[https://www.primeroriver.com/secciones/escudo "Escudo de River Plate"] on ''Primeroriver.com'', 26 December 2016</ref> Currently it is embroidered on the jersey, with three colors (red, white and black). Its format resembles that of the jersey, as it has a red stripe that crosses it, along with the acronym of the club (CARP) in black, and the background is white, in a stylized design.

When Hugo Santilli became chairman in 1984, he soon called to a competition where a new emblem would be chosen. The main objective of this new image was to eradicate the nickname ''Gallinas (Hens)'' that River's rivals (Boca Juniors fans mainly) used to mock them. Artists from Argentina took part in that competition. The club finally chose a logo designed by Claudio Loiseau (brother of cartoonist Caloi).<ref name=leon2>[https://noticiasargentinas.com/deportes/la-verdadera-historia-del-leon-de-river-y-el-fallido-intento-de-boca-por-copiarlo La verdadera historia del león de River y el fallido intento de Boca por copiarlo] by Pablo Tallón on Noticias Argentinas, 8 Mar 2021</ref> This emblem showed the figure of a lion (wearing a River jersey) rising from the Monumental stadium.<ref name=leon2/>

Once it was approved, the lion logo was added to the uniforms, debuting in 1985. With that emblem on their chests, River Plate won the Copa Libertadores de América and European/South American Cup.<ref>[https://www.tycsports.com/river-plate/a-40-anos-del-debut-de-un-leon-en-la-camiseta-de-river-el-isotipo-campeon-que-desperto-la-reaccion-de-boca-id634923.html A 40 años del debut de un león en la camiseta de River, el isotipo campeón que despertó la reacción de Boca] by Andrés Burgo, 13 Feb 2025</ref> In 1989, when Santilli left the club so the lion went with him and has not been reestablished since.<ref name=leon1>[https://www.goal.com/es/noticias/escudo-de-river-historia-y-diseno/7hntvugdvvma1wwjlszyoufet Escudo de River Plate: historia y diseño] by Carlos Martínez on Goal.com {{in lang|es}}</ref>

In February 2022, River Plate launched its new corporate image, which included an update to the logo and a typography designed exclusively for the club.

==Rivalry== {{main|Superclásico}}

River Plate and Boca Juniors are the two largest football clubs in Argentina, with more than half the country's football fans supporting the clubs. Due to the rivalry between them, the Boca Juniors vs River Plate ''Superclásico'' local derby match was listed by the BBC as one of the most famous derbies in the world.<ref>{{Cite news |date=2002-10-05 |title=Boca Juniors v River Plate |url=https://news.bbc.co.uk/sportacademy/hi/sa/football/features/newsid_2297000/2297495.stm |access-date=2024-09-05 |language=en-GB}}</ref> Attending the match was also acclaimed in 2004 as the number one of the ''Fifty sporting things you must do before you die'' by ''The Observer''.<ref>{{Cite web |title=50 sporting things you must do before you die {{!}} Sport {{!}} The Observer |url=https://www.theguardian.com/observer/osm/story/0,6903,1182710,00.html |access-date=2024-09-05 |website=www.theguardian.com}}</ref>

==Club nicknames== [[File:La Maquina.jpg|thumb|left|''La Máquina'' in 1941. Fltr: Muñoz, Moreno, Pedernera, Labruna, Loustau]]

The "River Plate" name was chosen in 1901, when the team was still located at the La Boca neighbourhood, next to the Río de la Plata ("River Plate" in some English sources). Proposed names as "Club Atlético Forward", "Juventud Boquense" or "La Rosales" had been rejected. Pedro Martínez saw the name "The River Plate" written at ship containers, and proposed it as a name, which was finally accepted as the official name.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.cariverplate.com.ar/el-club/historia|title=River Plate - Sitio Oficial|first=Club Atletico River|last=Plate|website=caRiverPlate.com.ar}}</ref>

River fans and the media commonly use the nickname ''Los Millonarios'' (The Millionaires) for the club. The name originated from the 1930s following some expensive player transfers from other clubs, including Carlos Peucelle from Sportivo Buenos Aires in 1931 and Bernabé Ferreyra from Tigre in 1932.<ref>[https://www.goal.com/es-ar/noticias/por-que-a-river-plate-le-dicen-millonarios/1dc525qhwdrh71ii1khx6rfpa7 ¿Por qué a River Plate le dicen Millonarios?], Goal.com, 9 December 2018</ref>

Due to the red band in their shirt, it is also common to refer to River as ''El Equipo de la Banda'' (the team with the band) or simply ''La Banda'' (which means "the stripe", but can also mean "the band" -both as in "gang" and "musical group"). River Plate's forwards between 1941 and 1946 were given the nickname ''La Máquina'' (The Machine), due to their synchronization and movements on the field.<ref>[https://www.elgrafico.com.ar/articulo/1088/5076/la-maquina-de-riverv La Máquina de River] by Matías Rodríguez, ''El Gráfico'', 28 February 2014</ref>

There was also a River Plate team that was known as ''La Maquinita'' (The Little Machine, as tribute to its predecessor) in the 1950s. Managed by José María Minella, the team earned the nickname after winning five championships in six years (1952–57).<ref>[https://www.clarin.com/deportes/hazana-inolvidable_0_BJxgRiNxRKe.html Una hazaña inolvidable], ''Clarín'', 22 June 2002</ref> Some notable players were Alfredo Di Stéfano, Santiago Vernazza, Walter Gómez, Enrique Omar Sívori, among others. Some members of the original ''Máquina'' of the 1940s such as Labruna and Loustau, were also part of the team.<ref>[https://www.lanacion.com.ar/2081676-murio-santiago-vernazza-ex-integrante-de-la-maquinita-de-river Murió Santiago Vernazza, ex integrante de "La Maquinita" de River], ''La Nación'', 12 November 2017</ref>

The Estadio Antonio Liberti (nicknamed ''El Monumental'') located in the Belgrano neighborhood of Buenos Aires is River Plate's stadium. It was inaugurated on 25 May 1938, and its current capacity is 85,018 spectators, following renovations completed in 2025.

==Notable managers== {{main|List of Club Atlético River Plate managers}}

[[File:Marcelo Gallardo Ecuador 2016.jpg|thumb|150px|Marcelo Gallardo is the most successful River Plate manager in club's history with 14 titles won]] Marcelo Gallardo is the club's most successful manager of all-time, with thirteen titles. Gallardo (appointed in 2014) was the club's manager until November 2022 and under his direction, River Plate won most of its international championships. Domestic titles won include three Copa Argentina (2015–16, 2016–17 and 2018–19) and two Supercopa Argentina (2017, 2019). He has been specially successful in the international scene, having won two Copa Libertadores (2015, 2018), one Copa Sudamericana (2014), three Recopa Sudamericana (2015, 2016, 2019), and one Suruga Bank Championship (2015). Several of these championship wins included memorable victories against archrivals Boca Juniors.

Ramón Díaz had three tenures on River Plate (1995–2000, 2001–02, and 2012–14), being the club's most successful manager in the domestic scene, having achieved six Primera División titles (1996–97 Torneo Apertura, 1996–97 Torneo Clausura, 1997–98 Torneo Apertura, 1999–2000 Torneo Apertura, 2001–02 Torneo Clausura, 2013–14 Torneo Final) and one Copa Campeonato (2014){{refn|The "Superfinal" is considered as a national cup by the Argentine Football Association.<ref>[http://canchallena.lanacion.com.ar/1695307-la-afa-homologo-la-superfinal-de-river-como-una-copa-nacional "La AFA homologó la Superfinal de River como una Copa Nacional", Cancha Llena.com] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160304003108/http://canchallena.lanacion.com.ar/1695307-la-afa-homologo-la-superfinal-de-river-como-una-copa-nacional |date=4 March 2016 }}, 28 May 2014</ref>}}; internationally, he won the Copa Libertadores (1996) and one Supercopa Libertadores (1997).

José María Minella was another notable manager with eight titles won with River Plate, seven Primera División championships (1945, 1947, 1952, 1953, 1955, 1956, 1957) and one Copa Dr. Ricardo Aldao (1947).
