[1] The managers decided to establish the "Olimpia Park" (today called Estadio Saroldi) as its home stadium.

The name of the stadium was settled in honour of River's first goalkeeper, Federico Omar Saroldi, who died after playing a match against Central Español from an injury suffered during the game.

[1] During the early years (from 1932 until 1942) some of the greatest players in Uruguay's history played in River Plate, such as Severino Varela and Héctor Sena Puricelli.

Osvaldo Canobbio, Juan Ramón Carrasco, Diego López and Edgardo Adinolfi were involved in the squad with Víctor Púa as coach.

Some of the best River Plate's players were raised in that generation, such as Hernán Rodrigo López, Pablo Gaglianone and Gustavo Díaz.

Coached by Juan Ramón Carrasco, River Plate eliminated Vitória in the round of 16, San Lorenzo in quarterfinals and lost against LDU Quito, reaching the top four.

Only Danubio and Defensor Sporting, among the so-called "minor" Uruguayan clubs, have reached the semifinals of an international CONMEBOL competition.

After Guillermo Almada joined Barcelona of Ecuador, since June 2015 until September 2016, Juan Ramón Carrasco was the coach of the first roster with disastrous results (a very different situation from his first campaign).

[5] The club had a poor showing in the 2022 Copa Sudamericana, finishing last in their group with two wins and four losses, which cost Gustavo Diaz his position as head coach.

River Plate usually play their home games at Estadio Saroldi, which is located in Montevideo's Prado neighborhood (western side of the city), has a capacity of 6,000 supporters and one of the best pitches in the league.

This sports complex has six football pitches, first-division team's base camp, locker rooms, dormitories, fitness centers, and health services.
