History

It all started in and around Faustino Fernández's bar, located in the village "Aires Puros", it was one of the few buildings that had electricity by 1929 in that zone. A group of "football lovers" were always at the bar, where they shared their dreams. Among them, there were Luis Rivero, Luis Enrico, and José Ruecco. By April of 1929, they founded La Luz Fútbol Club, adpoting white jerseys. Why La Luz? La Luz meaning the "Light" of the bar, where the used to hang out and dreamed about having their own club to be able to play in a league.
