History
The club was founded in 1913 as Atlético Talleres Central Córdoba by workers of the Córdoba Central Railway, with support from the company. In 1914 Talleres joined the Córdoba local league.
Talleres team in 1974
In 1969 the team played for the first time in the Argentine Primera División in the Nacional Championship. During the 70's they participated several times in the Nacional championship, on 1976 Luis Ludueña was the championship top scorer with 12 goals, in the 1977 Nacional Championship Talleres finished in second place and on 1978 José Reinaldi scored 18 goals and was the championship top scorer.
Starting in 1980, Talleres became a regular of the Metropolitano championship and finished in third place.
Talleres played in the Argentine Primera División until the 1993 Torneo Clausura when Talleres was relegated to the Primera B Nacional. Talleres was promoted to Argentine Primera División after the 1993–94 championship, but was once again related after a poor performance in 1994–95 season. The following season, the club finished first during the Clausura tournament of the Second Division but lost the Championship to Huracán de Corrientes.
In 1998, during a game (later remembered by fans as "The Final of the Millennium," Talleres won its first Argentine title, the 1997/98 Primera B Nacional championship on penalty kick shootout against all-time rival Belgrano de Córdoba, earning them a promotion to the First Division.
The following season, Talleres' good performance in first division qualified the team to play the 2001 Copa Mercosur and the 2002 Copa Libertadores, being the first and only team from Córdoba to qualify for those continental tournaments. Talleres reached the round of 16 in the Mercosur, only to lose against Gremio. In Copa Libertadores, Talleres had a poor performance, being eliminated in the first stage.
Despite finishing in third place during the Torneo Clausura tournament of the 2003-04 season and qualifying for the Copa Libertadores once again, Talleres was relegated, due to poor results in the previous 2 seasons, after losing to Argentinos Juniors in the promotion/relegation play-off. By Argentine rules, the team lost its Libertadores bid because of this.
In 2008-09 Talleres was dismissed once again, this time to the Torneo Argentino A via the point average system despite finishing in 12th place of 20 teams in Primera B Nacional.
On November 15, 2010, the IFFHS produced a report on the top 200 teams in the American continent from 2001 to that date. Talleres was #130, the highest position for a Córdoba Province team in the ranking.
