Club Atlético Talleres (Spanish pronunciation: [ˈkluβ aˈtletiko taˈʎeɾes]; lit. 'Workshops Athletic Club'), mostly known simply as Talleres ([taˈʃeɾes] in Rioplatense accent and [taˈʒeɾes] or [taˈjeɾe] in Cordobés accent; lit. 'Workshops'), is an Argentine professional sports club based in the city of Córdoba.
The institution is mostly known for its football team, which currently plays in the Argentine Primera División. Talleres was three times runner-up of the First Division (1977, 2023, and 2024), and two times runner-up of the Copa Argentina (2020 and 2022).
They won an international tournament in 1999, the Copa Conmebol (now Copa Sudamericana). "La T" participated in many recent editions of the Copa Sudamericana as well as the Copa Libertadores, the highest level football competition in South America, in which they reached the Quarter-Finals in 2022.
"La T" also invests actively on its Academy, which has nurtured a number of well-known footballers: José Luis Cuciuffo, Daniel Willington, Luis Antonio Ludueña, Luis Galván, and Victorio Ocaño, in previous years; and Javier Pastore, Julio Buffarini, Cristian Pavón, and Emanuel Reynoso in recent years.
Galván, as well as Miguel Oviedo and José Daniel Valencia (the three of them playing for Talleres), were part of the squad that lead Argentina's national team to win the 1978 FIFA World Cup.
Talleres women's team plays in the Primera División A and is one of the most winning teams in the country. Florencia Pianello is the all-time scorer taking into account both men's and women's divisions of the club.
Talleres' main rival is Belgrano: Their rivalry is known as "el clásico cordobés". Talleres won 96 matches, while their rival won 76 times, in official games. Both teams also share derbies with Instituto and Racing, two other important teams of the city.
Talleres is among the teams with the highest number of spectators per match in the world.
