History
Ferrocarril Urquiza logo used until 2009
The Club was founded by Carmelo Santoro on May 21, 1950. The first players and fans of the team were employees of the Ferrocarril General Urquiza who needed a ground to play football on Saturday afternoons. It was an amateur club until 1970, when it became affiliated to the Argentine Football Association and played its first season in the Aficionados category that was later renamed Primera D Metropolitana.
At the beginning of the 2009-2010 season the club merged with Universidad Abierta Interamericana ("UAI") to form CD UAI-Urquiza. Having won no titles under its old name, UAI Urquiza obtained the 2010-11 Primera D Metropolitana championship, promoting to Primera C Metropolitana.[1]
