In 1921, four dissident members of neighbor club Huracán de San Justo met with some former members of old club Almirante Brown with the purpose of reestablishing the institution. It was finally set up on 17 January 1922 as "Centro Atlético Almirante Brown", being named Segundo Boragno as president of the club. He managed the club until his death in June 1930.

In 1934 the club was noticed that another institution of Adrogué, also named "Almirante Brown", had disaffiliated from the Association. In an assembly held short later, the club decided to return to tournaments using its original name and colors but Almirante Brown was not allowed to take part due to there was no place for new teams. Therefore, the club began a long period of inactivity that extended to 1942, when some young people from Club Juventud Unida promoted the re-opening of the club Almirante Brown. This was finally formalised in April 1942 with the merger of both institutions.
