Unión’s place in AFA membership rankings: where do they stand? | OneFootball

The Argentine Football Association (AFA) published the 2025 Club Report this Wednesday, an official survey detailing the number of members of the First Division institutions and allowing us to observe the social weight of each one within the Professional Football League.

River Plate leads the ranking with 352,712 members, followed by Boca Juniors with 282,644. The study highlights the wide gap between River and its pursuers, as well as the fact that it has twice as many members as Independiente, which is in third place. One of the surprises is Rosario Central in fourth position, ahead of Racing and San Lorenzo.

The top ten is completed by Newell’s, Vélez, Talleres de Córdoba, and Huracán. The report clarifies that it does not include teams that have recently been promoted. At the opposite end, Deportivo Riestra is the club with the smallest membership base in the category, with just over a thousand members. Unión appears in 17th place, with a total of 22,774 active members.

Below is the complete ranking of First Division club members:

The report, presented by the AFA as a comprehensive data collection effort, once again reflects the social role that clubs play throughout the country and the place each institution occupies within the map of Argentine football.
