The team plays all its matches at the Eva Peron stadium, the only stadium in all of Argentina with a woman's name. The club's history has always been closely linked to politics, which is why the name of the stadium pays tribute to the most important political leader in the history of the country.
Throughout its extensive history, the team has played matches in almost all categories of Argentine football: Superliga, Primera Nacional, Primera B, Liga Deportiva del Oeste, Amateur Championships… Although where it has been the most seasons is in the Primera Nacional, the second division of the country. In its achievements it has 1 Primera Nacional championship, 3 Primera B and 27 Liga Deportiva del Oeste, being the team with the most titles in this last discipline and the most glorious inside the Buenos Aires province. Its last promotion to the Superliga was in 2014, although after his descent in 2017 the team is currently playing its matches in the second division.

PANCHO, OUR SARMIENTO HOST
Francisco, our host for Sarmiento matches, was born in Junín in 1992 and he has a degree in digital communication. Currently working as a sports journalist, a profession that allows him to enjoy what he loves most in this world: football and his beloved team. His friends know him as "Pancho", in honor of the most famous fan who Sarmiento has ever had, true character who became popular in the 80s for his physical features and garments and for performing spells against the away fans. It became a reference for many fans.
Our host has been a fan of the greens since he was born, as he tells us "it is something that is carried in the family DNA, you are not a fan of Sarmiento by choice but because that is what the family mandate commands." He always goes to the stadium with friends, whom he chooses very well, since if they do not carry the colors of the Sarmiento in their blood, they can hardly be his friends. He does not have friends who do not feel the color green, it is a sine qua non condition for someone to become part of his circle of friends.
He has been a member of the club since the day he was born and he is involved and very actively participates in different fan clubs, such as the Peña del Hincha, where he always goes to all meetings and events to contribute a little bit. We could say that Pancho has been the host all his life, he always accompanies someone he knows to the stadium, he loves to show his passion to other fans and that they feel closely about everything that a Sarmiento match generates.
