History
The Club was founded as "Club Deportivo, Social y Cultural Ferrocarril Urquiza" by Carmelo Santoro on May 21, 1950. The first players and fans of the team were employees of the General Urquiza Railway who needed a ground to play football on Saturday afternoons. The club affiliated to the Argentine Football Association in 1970 and played its first season in the "Aficionados" division (the fourth level of Argentine football league system, later renamed "Primera D").
At the beginning of the 2009–2010 season the club merged with Universidad Abierta Interamericana (UAI) to form "Club Deportivo UAI-Urquiza". Having won no titles under its old name, UAI Urquiza obtained the first season disputed by the team, the 2009–10 Primera D championship, promoting to Primera C.
In May, 2013, UAI Urquiza won the Primera C champions, therefore promoting to the upper division, Primera B Metropolitana. The squad beat Deportivo Español by 3–1, when there still had 4 fixtures to play. At the moment of the championship, UAI Urquiza had taken an advantage of 13 points over Deportivo Laferrere, the team placed 2nd.
UAI Urquiza is known for its strong youth development program and has produced several talented players who have gone on to play for top clubs in Argentina and abroad. The team plays its home matches at the Estadio Monumental de Villa Lynch, which has a capacity of 3,000 spectators.
UAI Urquiza has a passionate fan base and is known for its attacking style of play, with a focus on quick passing and fluid movement on the field. The team's colors are blue and white, and they are nicknamed "Los Furgones" (The Wagons) in reference to the railway history of the Villa Lynch neighborhood.
Overall, UAI Urquiza is a respected and competitive team in Argentine football, with a rich history and a bright future ahead.
