Flores Athletic Club

The club was pioneer in the practise of some sports that would become popular in Argentina, such as football (competing in some of the first official championships held), cricket, rugby union, polo, and tennis.

In 1860 a great English community lived in the "porteños" neighbourhoods of Caballito and Flores, most of them working in commerce activities.

Some of the biggest palaces (such as "Miraflores", built in 1886 and currently a school, or "Las Lilas") had been erected in that zone.

So the data of foundation of the club could be established between 1892 and 1893, so Flores AC had been never mentioned before by the English community in Buenos Aires.

[9] The line-up was: Brown, Gordon, Syer; Gahan, Goddard, Murphy; Fothergill, Jordan, Allen, Bartman, Wilson.

The Flores AC stadium was also used by the Buenos Aires FC (where the team had played its first match against Southern Railway, in 1886) to dispute the derby with Rosario Athletic Club.

The team debuted against Belgrano Athletic and the line-up for that historic game was: N. Murphy, A. Coste, F. Leitch, George F. Elliot, J.Elliot, D. King, W.H.
