Club Atlético, Cultural y Social Ferrocarril Urquiza is an Argentine football (soccer) team that currently plays in Primera D Metropolitana, the fifth division of the Buenos Aires Metropolitan Area.

History

The Club was founded by Carmelo Santoro on May 21, 1950. The first players and fans of the team were employees of the Ferrocarril General Urquiza who needed a ground to play football on Saturday afternoons. It was an amateur club until 1970, when it became affiliated to the Argentine Football Association and played its first season in the "Aficionados" category that was later renamed Primera D Metropolitana.

Ferrocarril Urquiza has played in Primera D Metropolitana, the lowest division organized by the AFA in the Buenos Aires region, never to gain a promotion to a higher category. The club does not have any title whatsoever.

The club's female football team made its debut for the 2008/2009 season.
