Unión, a unique case outside the capital: triple presence in the top flight | OneFootball

Unión holds a historic place in Argentine sports: it is the only club from the interior of the country that has teams in the First Division in men's football, women's football, and basketball. This Saturday, the club added a new chapter to its prestige, while facing sporting challenges in each discipline.

In men's football, the team led by Leonardo Madelón is going through a slump, but still holds hopes of reaching the round of 16 in the Clausura Tournament of the Professional League.

With four matches remaining in the regular phase, Tatengue will look to regain consistency and finish the semester on a positive note.

The women's football team also had reasons to celebrate. This Saturday, the Tatengues defeated Lanús away 1-0, and with an aggregate score of 2-0 after their win in the first leg at 15 de Abril, secured their place in the First Division, becoming the first women's team from the province to compete in the AFA's semi-professional tournament.

Meanwhile, Unión's basketball team began its participation in the National League with a tough debut: they lost to La Unión de Formosa as visitors.

Despite the defeat, the team showed preparation and ambition to be a contender in the top category of Argentine basketball.

The four cases in the country

Nationwide, this privilege is shared only by historic clubs from Buenos Aires, such as Boca Juniors, San Lorenzo de Almagro, and Platense, which highlights the magnitude of Unión's achievement as a representative of the Argentine interior in all three disciplines.
