Adopting Racing Club means Argentina Primera División results start mattering to you, a club going since 1903. Not a novelty, a habit.

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.
Old enough to matter
1903 is the founding date, old enough that the club has survived a war, a rebuild and at least one financial scare, young enough that the good years are still in living memory.
Something to defend
The cabinet is not empty: Shared record and Segunda División (3): 1910, 1924 AAm, 1926 AAm. Small enough to recite from memory, big enough to argue about in a pub.
Cathedral football
Estadio Presidente Perón holds around 55,880. Even a routine league game arrives with a noise floor most clubs only reach in a semi-final.

Ground: Estadio Presidente Perón. Go in a day early, find the pre-match pub, buy the programme.
