Sportivo Belgrano is an Argentine football club, which home town is located in San Francisco, Córdoba. The team currently plays in the Primera B Nacional, the second division of the Argentine football league system.
History
On 15 April 1914, a group of young people decided to establish a social club in the city of San Francisco, Córdoba. The name was chosen as a tribute to Manuel Belgrano, the creator of the flag of Argentina.[]
In 2008, during a match against Mendocino team Deportivo Maipú, several Belgrano players and their coach Cristian Domizzi attacked referee Héctor Sosa. A disciplinary panel deducted 9 points from the club, costing them the chance of promotion. The verdict also banned Sperdutti from management for one year and several Belgrano players were suspended for 30 games. In addition, the disciplinary panel set a number of restrictions on the stadium, which included 3 home games of the 2008/09 season being played behind closed doors and five more games with limited tickets for sale.[]
In June 2013, the club secured promotion to play at Primera B Nacional after a 1–1 tie against Deportivo Santamarina at the playoff's second time (the first had ended 0–0).
Stadionul Sportivo Belgrano se numește Juan Pablo Francia și are o capacitate de 15.000 de locuri. Porecla clubului este "Los Verdes" (Verzii) datorită culorilor sale verde și alb.
Sportivo Belgrano a câștigat un singur titlu major, Copa Argentina, în 2016. De asemenea, clubul a ajuns în finala Copa Sudamericana în 2003, dar a pierdut în fața Cienciano din Peru.
