Why Banfield

Banfield work as a second team because they come with their own geography: Argentina, Estadio Florencio Solá, and a set of rivalries you will absorb faster than you expect.

You get a nickname
Known as El Taladro (The Drill). That is your new shorthand, your search term and your excuse for buying a scarf.
Easy weekend
Sauce Viejo Airport (SFN) is about 13km from the ground, and Santa Fe railway station is 3km closer still. A home fixture is a genuinely doable two-night trip.
The calendar you inherit
Following Argentina Primera División means odd kick-off hours, a new commentary language and a table you will check before your own club's. Argentina becomes part of your week.
Deep roots
Founded in 1896, Banfield were playing organised football before floodlights, substitutes or televised highlights existed. You are adopting 130 years of accumulated grudges.
