History edit

The club was founded on October 1, 1923. It is claimed that kit uniform was inspired by English side Sunderland even though Sunderland have worn a red and white kit since 1887. Claypole gained the affiliation to Argentine Football Association in 1978 and obtained its first and only title in 1997.

Claypole and Victoriano Arenas played a match in 2011 where all 22 players on the pitch and a combination of 14 subs and coaches received red cards, for a total of 36. This is the most red cards ever issued in a senior level game.[1]
