History
Yupanqui gained some notoriety in Argentina after a Coca-Cola television advertisement where it was referred to as the club with the least fans in Argentina.
Before the Coca-Cola advertisement, the average number of fans that would show up to each game was between 5 and 7. After the advertisement, about 50 new club members joined. Even after the spike in recognition, the money they made was used for several projects such as restoring bathrooms, build a theater, a chess room, and the soccer team didn't receive any funding, even though they were solely responsible for all the recognition the club had received.
Yupanqui je známy svojimi silnými väzbami na komunistickú stranu a svoje ľavicové politické názory. Klub bol pomenovaný po argentínskom folkovom spevákovi Atahualpa Yupanqui, ktorý bol tiež členom komunistickej strany.
Domáce zápasy hrá Yupanqui na štadióne Estadio Islas Malvinas, ktorý má kapacitu 3 000 divákov. Klub má tiež silnú mládežnícku akadémiu, ktorá vyprodukovala niekoľko hráčov, ktorí hrali v argentínskej reprezentácii.
Najväčším úspechom Yupanaqui bolo víťazstvo v Copa Argentina v roku 1940. Klub tiež vyhral Primera D Metropolitana v rokoch 1952 a 1970.
