Club Atlético Palermo

Club Atlético Palermo is a sports club from the Palermo neighborhood of Buenos Aires, Argentina. The club has British roots, so the first clubs in London had been founded as social institutions so therefore they were usually the place where gentlemen of the high classes met.

Palermo played in Primera División, the first division of Argentina, during the 1920s, and then disaffiliated when football became professional in the country. Some relevant players from the institution are Gonzalo Higuaín and Leandro Gracián, who played for Palermo in children divisions. Other sports practised at the club are volleyball, archery, roller skate and martial arts.
