CA Independiente in international football
Club Atlético Independiente is an Argentine sports club based in Avellaneda whose football squad currently competes in Primera División, the top division of the Argentine league system. The club was founded in 1904 by the initiative of a group of teenagers who were members of Maipú FC and were not allowed to play in the team because of being minors, and decided to build their own team.[1] Independiente joined the Argentine Football Association in 1907 after getting his stadium approved,[2] having debuted in Primera División in 1912.[3] The team has always played in the top division, with the exception of the 2013–14 season, when they got relegated for the first time.[4]

The team has success at the Argentine football level, but they are widely known for their international titles and appearances, being nicknamed Rey de Copas (King of Cups) by the media and his fans.[5] The first international cup they took part was the 1917 Tie Cup, which they lost to Uruguayan team Montevideo Wanderers. In term of international honours, Independiente has won a total of twenty titles,[6] with 18 of them organised by CONMEBOL[7] which makes Independiente the most winning team in this category, together with Boca Juniors. Among those international Conmebol titles Independiente has a record seven Copa Libertadores, two Intercontinental Cups, two Copa Sudamericana and one Recopa Sudamericana. International titles also include two Copa Aldao, organised by AFA and AUF together.
Independiente is alongside River Plate and Internacional the only teams to win all four of the current CONMEBOL competitions; Libertadores, Sudamericana, Recopa and the Suruga Bank Championship, which they won in 2018.[7]
Although being far behind Boca Juniors and River Plate in terms of popularity,[8] Independiente was voted by the IFFHS as the 2nd best club in South America in the 20th century, and best team in Argentina.[9]
First half of the 20th century
Friendlies
Independiente began to play friendly games against teams from the neighbouring regions in Uruguay only four years after its foundation. On 25 August 1909, Independiente tied with the now defunct Uruguayan team Bristol in Avellaneda, while still being a lower division team in Argentina.[10] The next friendly international games took place in 1912.[11]
Year | Opposing team | Score | Venue | Notes |

1909 | Bristol | 0−0 |
Estadio de Crucecita, Crucecita, Argentina | First international match. |

River Plate | 0−2 | Parque Lugano, Montevideo, Uruguay | First match outside Argentina. | |

Around those years, the international friendlies evolved into the first official international cups, organized between the Argentine Football Association and the Uruguayan Football Association to be contested by those countries' league and cup champions.[12][13]

Until the end of the Argentine football's amateur era in 1931,[14] it was common for European clubs to tour South American countries, especially Argentina, Brazil and Uruguay. These tours decreased over time as the teams from the aforementioned territories improved and became more competitive. In this context, Independiente received some unprecedented visits from the northern hemisphere.

Copa Dr. Ricardo Aldao and first worldwide trips
The Copa Aldao was a competition contested annually, albeit irregularly, between the league champions of Argentina and Uruguay. Both editions in which Independiente took participation resulted in the first international victories for the red team. In addition to this, Independiente should have participated in a 1948 edition as 1948 Argentine Primera División champions, but it was never done since the Uruguayan Primera División of that year was cancelled.[21]

---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
1938 | Peñarol | 3−1 | Estadio Centenario, Montevideo, Uruguay | |||
1939 | Nacional | 5−0 | Estadio Gasómetro, Buenos Aires, Argentina |
Rioplatense cups progressively stopped being contested regularly since 1940 after the Copa Aldao of that year was abandoned,[22] and UEFA and CONMEBOL did not start organizing their own continental competitions until 1955 and 1960 when the European Cup and the Copa Libertadores were created respectively, meaning that the friendly and invitational tournaments were again the most prestigious international ones.
Independiente first toured away from South America with a trip to Mexico in 1948,[23] then the Argentines went on a European trip for the first time in 1953.[24] Within the latter one, Independiente managed to achieve some outstanding wins like a 6−0 victory over Real Madrid, and an 8−1 over Sporting Lisbon, greatly surprising the European press.[25][26]
- Only matches versus football clubs are considered. The Mexico national football team and other combined teams were also faced at the Estadio Ciudad de los Deportes.

Copa Libertadores
South America's premier football club competition. Independiente is the most successful team in the competition with 7 titles, with 4 of them in a row between 1972 and 1975. A total of 7 finals were played by Independiente, winning all of them. El Rojo was also the first Argentine team to win the competition.[27]
- The Colombian representative was disqualified by CONMEBOL and Independiente was given a scoreless win, without travelling to Colombia.
Copa Interamericana
Defunct competition contested by the winners of Copa Libertadores and the CONCACAF Champions' Cup. Independiente is the most successful team in the competition, with 3 titles out of 3 appearances.[28]
A combination of factors such as the lack of financial incentives, large trip costs and lack of proper organizing, led the Copa Interamericana to face irregular scheduling and different formats. For instance, Independiente did not contest the 1973 edition, since the 1973 CONCACAF Champions' Cup was practically abandoned and, in all three editions disputed by the red team, they weren't able to host a match in Argentina when being the "home" team.[29]
