First championship and arrival to the AFA

Starting in 1967, the clubs from the interior of the country began to participate in a new competition of the Argentine Football Association, exclusive for the champion clubs of the regional leagues of the country: the Regional Tournament, which had the objective of classifying the best to the National Championship, a new First Division competition, parallel to the regular competition. However, because the best teams in the Rosario and Santa Fe leagues were already affiliated, the province was excluded from the competition until 1971. The club would quickly gain access to the tournament. Despite being a newly founded club, it managed to win the Rosarino Championship in 1978, breaking a 10-year streak of championships won only by

Rivalries

Within the scope of the Asociación Rosarina de Fútbol, Renato Cesarini does not have a clear classic rival. However, the appearance in recent years of an entity with similar characteristics, called the Asociación Atlética Jorge Griffa (named in honor of another great trainer of football players from Rosario, in a similar way to Cesarini), generates an interesting duel between two clubs with characteristics of sports training schools, in the Rosario area.
