Nicknamed Los Bohemios ('The Bohemians'), Atlanta is mostly known for its football team, although the institution also hosts the practise of basketball, boxing, martial arts, handball and roller skating.

One source says that the team got its name from an earthquake that had struck Atlanta, Georgia[2] in the United States at the time the founders got together to inaugurate the club.

Another version about its foundation states that the name "Atlanta" was taken from a navy ship that had arrived in the port of Buenos Aires when Manuel Quintana was proclaimed as President of Argentina.

[citation needed] The club's colors, yellow and blue, where chosen from the awnings that decorated the neighborhood's stores in those years.

[2] Atlanta's first home field was in Juan B. Alberdi y Escalada Avenue of the Villa Luro neighborhood,[3] but the club would move repeatedly.

The Funebrero stayed there until 1930 when they moved to San Martín, in Greater Buenos Aires, where they have remained since, although the rivalry with Atlanta never ended.

The team stadium, "Don León Kolbovsky", is located in Villa Crespo neighborhood, in the city of Buenos Aires.

In February 2005, the Government of Buenos Aires closed the stadium due to its poor sanitary and security conditions.

The match finally ended with a 5–5 tie and therefore Napoleón was adopted by Atlanta players as their mascot, because they thought he brought good luck to the team.

In October 2004, when Atlanta celebrated its 100th anniversary, it came back to the stadium (now called León Kolbovsky) as an exhibit of Francisco Belón's son, Osvaldo.

Napoleón was one of the most beloved club figures, along with humans such as Osvaldo Miranda (proclaimed the most famous Atlanta fan by the team that evening) and Carlos Griguol.
