Club Almirante Brown is an Argentine football club from Isidro Casanova in the Buenos Aires Province, currently playing in Primera B Nacional, the second tier of Argentine football.

Club history

The club were founded on 17 January 1922 with the name "Centro Atlético y Recreativo Almirante Brown". They played in Primera B Nacional between the 1986-87 and 1997-98 season, reaching their highest ever league position in the 1991-92 season, when they finished 2nd in the table. They were within one game of gaining promotion to the Primera División, however they lost the playoff final to San Martín de Tucumán.

In May 2007 Almirante Brown became champions of the Primera B Metropolitana Clausura tournament by beating Estudiantes de Buenos Aires in the final, the fixture was marred by violence and Almirante Brown were forced to start the following season in B Nacional with -18 points as punishment. This punishment eventually saw the team relegated despite a number of good performances which would have seen them finish in 3rd place without the points deduction.
