Club Atlético Tigre is a football club from Victoria, San Fernando Partido, Buenos Aires, Argentina. At the end of the 2006-2007 season the club was promoted to the Primera Division Argentina. The 2007-2008 season was Tigre's first season at the highest level of the Argentine Football Association league system after 27 years.

Founded on August 3, 1902 in the city of Tigre, the club has participated in 23 seasons in the Argentine first division. Tigre's most successful season before 2007 was the 1955 campaign which saw the squad finish 6th out of 16 teams.

The years in which they played in the Primera were: 1931-33, 1935–42, 1946–50, 1954–58, 1968 and 1980 and 2007.

In 2004-2005 the club started its ascent through the divisions by winning the Primera B Metropolitana, with Ricardo Caruso Lombardi as manager. In 2006 Diego Cagna became manager leading Tigre to promotion to the Argentine Primera in his first season. The team promoted after beating Nueva Chicago in a playoff which was marred by violence from the Nueva Chicago team and fans.

The Apertura 2007 was Tigre's first season in the Argentine top flight, with a great campaign in the first division. Tigre won 10 of 19 games, including a historic 4-1 victory over River Plate. Tigre fought for the championship until the last fixture, which it needed to win to have a chance. However, Tigre was beaten by Argentinos Juniors meaning that the title went to Club Atlético Lanús, finishing Tigre in the 2nd place. The club achieved a wide recognition for the effort and the best league finish in its history. [1]

In the Apertura 2008 tournament, Tigre finished in joint first place in Apertura 2008 championship although the squad lost the three way playoff final on goal difference at the hands of Boca Juniors.

In 2009 Tigre made its first appearances in an international club competition playing two games in Copa Sudamericana 2009, having been defeated by San Lorenzo in the first round due to the away goals rule.
