Team Info
Club de Gimnasia y Esgrima La Plata, commonly known as Gimnasia La Plata or simply *El Lobo* (The Wolf), is a historic Argentine club from La Plata, Buenos Aires Province, competing in the Primera División. The club plays at the Estadio Juan Carmelo Zerillo, also known as "El Bosque." Founded in 1887, it is one of the oldest football clubs in Argentina. Gimnasia is famous for its fierce rivalry with local neighbors Estudiantes, with matches known as the *Clásico Platense*. While the club has never won the Primera División title, it has a proud history and a large, fervent fanbase. A key modern era was the late 1990s and early 2000s under manager Carlos Timoteo Griguol, when the team played attractive football and regularly qualified for international competitions, reaching the final of the 1995 Copa CONMEBOL. The modern *Lobos* often find themselves in battles at both ends of the table, with survival a frequent goal. The club's identity is deeply tied to its community, its blue and white stripes, and a spirit of resilience that endears it to its supporters.
