Asociación Deportiva Francesa
The club was founded in 1913 by a group of French immigrants and Argentine natives from the merger of two French sports clubs, Societé Sportive Française and Club Sportif Francais. The name chosen was "Sportive Francaise", in order to increase the emotional bonds between both countries through the practise of sports. The first president of the club was Georges Roy and it was originally located on Venezuela street in the city of Buenos Aires.
At the beginning the club hosted the practise of athletics, association football, basketball, boxing, rugby union, and tennis. Sportiva Francesa was also founding member of the Argentine Basketball Federation. The rugby union team promoted to the first division in 1925.
