Basketball in Argentina
Basketball was introduced in Argentina in 1912 by the "Asociación Cristiana de Jóvenes" (Young Men's Christians Association – YCMA), with the first Federation created in 1921 to organise the competitions. In 1929, the Argentine Basketball Federation ("Confederación Argentina de Basketball") was established. The body currently controls the Argentina national team.
Lomas Athletic Club
On February 21, 1893 the Argentine Football Association (presided by Alexander Watson Hutton) was created in order to continue the organization of football tournaments (as the old "Association Argentine Football League" had done in 1891 although it was dissolved that same year). Lomas won the 1893 championship totalizing 15 points in 8 games played. Five titles followed that, in 1894, 1895, 1897 and 1898. Within those years, the Lomas Athletic team won 46 games (over 60 played), establishing a record for Argentine football.
