The football team currently plays in the Primera Nacional, the second division of the Argentine football league system.
==History==
[[File:Club Almagro 1930.jpg|thumb|left|200px|The team that won the Primera B title in 1937.]] thumb|right|200px|In 1968 Almagro won another title and promoted to Primera.
Almagro was founded on 6 January 1911, in the Almagro neighbourhood of Buenos Aires. The club still has its sports facilities there for its members, but the football stadium (with a capacity of 19,000) is located in José Ingenieros, in the Tres de Febrero Partido of Greater Buenos Aires.{{fact|date=June 2025}}
In 1919 there was a new splitting in Argentine football, so both leagues were played at the same time: official Asociación Argentina de Football (with one of Almagro predecessors, Columbian, as one of its teams) and dissident "Asociación Amateurs de Football". During that season, Columbian was going through a severe economic crisis, disputing its last game v. Boca Juniors in the 6th fixture. Some executives of recently promoted Club Almagro, led by Miguel de Zárate made Columbial a merger proposal, which was accepted.{{fact|date=June 2025}}
Therefore, Almagro renamed "Sportivo Almagro" and continued playing in Primera División (debuting in the 7th fixture vs Platense) under its new denomination, which avoided the club to be disaffiliated.<ref name=merge>{{Cite web |url=https://www.rsssf.org/tablesa/arg19.html |title=Argentina 1919 at RSSSF.com |access-date=2 February 2023 |archive-date=17 May 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190517090119/http://rsssf.com/tablesa/arg19.html |url-status=live }}</ref><ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20080427025101/http://www.info-almagro.com.ar/almagro2_1/historia/clubalm.htm Historia del club Almagro]</ref><ref>[http://edant.clarin.com/diario/2000/07/24/d-00904.htm "Una historia en tres colores"] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160303230421/http://edant.clarin.com/diario/2000/07/24/d-00904.htm |date=3 March 2016 }}, ''Clarín'', 24 July 2000</ref><ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20090317061541/http://almagromipasion.com.ar/historia.html "Orígenes del Club Almagro", Almagro Mi Pasión] (Archivo, 23 Abr 2009)</ref><ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20110610103815/http://catigre.com.ar/frontend/paginas/institucion/historia/logros/felogro1912.aspx "Tigre Campeón Intermedia 1912 – F.A.F."] (Archivo, 2011)</ref><ref>[http://elsitiodealmagro.com.ar/category/era-amateurs/1919/ 1919 en El Sitio de Almagro] {{webarchive|url=https://archive.today/20141001031730/http://elsitiodealmagro.com.ar/category/era-amateurs/1919/ |date=1 October 2014 }}</ref><ref>[http://futbolextinto.blogspot.com.ar/2011/07/columbian.html Fútbol extinto: Columbian]</ref>
Almagro played one year in first division in 1938 after winning the first second division tournament that awarded a promotion. Later the team won the 1968 second division tournament, but had to participate in the "reclasificatorio" tournament with first division teams and other second division teams and didn't win promotion.{{cn|date=December 2022}}
The ''Tricolores'' played most of the time in second division, a few years in third division, but in 2000 and 2004 they won the promotion to Primera División, only to be relegated both times after only one season playing at the top level.{{fact|date=June 2025}}
In 2000 Almagro returned to Primera División after beating Instituto de Córdoba by 1–0 (2–1 on aggregate) at relegation playoffs (named "Promoción" in Argentina).{{cn|date=December 2022}}
