In addition to winning the first official title in its history in the first division of Argentine soccer, Central Córdoba also secured a spot in the group stage of the upcoming Copa Libertadores.
With this, Estudiantes (champion of the League Cup) and Racing (winner of the Copa Sudamericana) join this list.
The definition was held in Santa Fe before about 20,000 spectators, with fans from both clubs.
The Córdoba team went from being a team under Colombian coach Lucas González to winning an AFA title with Argentine coach Omar De Felippe.
The ‘coffee’ strategist was dismissed from his position in mid-July 2024 due to the bad streak recorded in the Professional League, in which Ferroviario was last in the standings, with a cycle that barely lasted nine games.
Although this team has already saved the category, it is worth mentioning that He is in position number 20 in the current campaign of the first division of ‘albiceleste’ football.
