The Argentine tournament
The Argentine tournament is one of the most exciting in our continent, if not the best. We know the popular teams that give us thrilling victories every week.
The Federal C Tournament
However, little is known about the lower tournaments that are played. One of them has an exaggerated number of participants. The Federal C Tournament has 266 clubs from all regions of Argentina. It is the fifth category, but it is played as if it were the first.
It started last weekend. It seems like the number of teams is crazy, but last season there were 371. The dream is to ascend against all odds.

The Deportivo Mandiyú
Deportivo Mandiyú is in this tournament. It is the only one that has played in the First Division and is remembered for being coached by Diego Armando Maradona in the 1994 season. In addition, the international Sergio Goycochea defended the goal.
Furthermore, extravagant names are not unfamiliar in this unusual tournament. For example, there is Sport Gardelitos, named after a rock band, and the Provincial Water and Maintenance Service Company from Resistencia, better known by its acronym S.A.M.E.E.P.
