C.A. Huracán

Club Atletico Huracan is a sports club from the Parque Patricios neighbourhood of Buenos Aires, Argentina. The football team currently plays in the Primera A, the first level of the Argentine football league system. Huracan home stadium is the Estadio Tomas Adolfo Duco.
Huracan was founded on November 1, 1908, in the Nueva Pompeya neighbourhood of Buenos Aires. The club's name and nickname (Globo, literally "Balloon") come from the Huracan balloon flied by Jorge Newbery in 1909. Apart from that, club supporters are called los Quemeros ("the Burners") because the stadium is in a former garbage burning area.
During the professional era, Huracan won the Primera Division title just once (the 1973 Metropolitano), and obtained 4 titles during the amateur era (in 1921, 1922, 1925 and 1928). Moreover, Huracan has finished as runner-up of the first division 5 times during professionalism (the last one in the 2009 Clausura).
Huracan's historical rival is San Lorenzo de Almagro.
History
Though officially founded in 1908, there are documents that tell about a previous foundation on May 25, 1903. During the amateur era of Argentine football (1891-1930), Huracan won four championships (1921, 1922, 1925 and 1928). The team was the fifth most successful during that period.
During the professional era (started in 1931), Huracan had their moment of glory in the Metropolitano championship of the 1973 season, when they won their only first division title. The team has also won twice the second division (1989-90 and 1999-00). The club has had 4 promotions and relegations during their history. The last promotion came during the 2006-07 season, when Huracan defeated Godoy Cruz in the promotion playoffs.
Huracan was runner-up of the Primera Division in the 2009 Clausura. The team, coached by Angel Cappa and with Mario Bolatti, Matias Defederico and Javier Pastore as key players, was praised for their attacking short-pass style of play. They reached the final game of the season one point above Velez Zarsfield, but lost 1-0 away with that team in the final fixture (in a game with controversial referral decisions).

Stadium
The Estadio Tomas Adolfo Duco was closed in May 2008, after cracks were discovered in one of the structural columns. While the stadium was out of commission, Huracan played their home games at Argentinos Juniors. In August 2008, Fernando "la tota" Blauzwirn, an old player from the 1940s correctly said "no veo la hora de volver al Duco, que sufrimiento muyayo!" (I cannot wait until returning to the Duco, guys, what a suffering!).
On 13 December 2008 during the final weekend of the 2008-09 Apertura championship, Huracan returned to the Duco, 438 days after they'd last played there. Their 3-0 victory against Velez was the only game Huracan played at home during their centenary year.
