History
In November 1918 a group of British workers on the Argentinian Central Railroad set up a football team to take part in the local soccer championship. This required the consent and support of the Chief of the railway, Mr. Ronald Leslie, who, as a condition, requested that the new club name itself in honour of Sir Douglas Haig, the Commander-in-Chief of the British Armies in Western Europe, who had just led them to victory in World War I. Club Atlético Douglas Haig was thereby founded on 18 November 1918.
The team is known for their passionate fan base and their traditional blue and yellow striped jerseys. They play their home matches at the Estadio Miguel Morales, which has a capacity of over 10,000 spectators.
CA Douglas Haig has a strong rivalry with other teams in the region, particularly with Club Atletico Argentino de Rosario. They have had success in the past, winning several league titles and competing in the top division of Argentine football.
The team is known for their attacking style of play and their talented players who have gone on to represent Argentina at the international level. With a rich history and dedicated fan base, CA Douglas Haig continues to be a prominent force in Argentine football.
