The Talleres de Córdoba team is faced with a unique opportunity to add a new title to its football history by facing River Plate in the International Supercup. The match between these two Argentine teams will take place this Wednesday at the La Nueva Olla stadium of Cerro Porteño in Paraguay. This competition represents an unprecedented event where both clubs will seek to secure an official title, being a special occasion for Talleres to add a second star to its accolades, following its historic conquest of the Copa Conmebol in 1999.
The victory on December 8, 1999, is etched in the memory of Córdoba football fans, marking one of the most important moments in the club's history. Throughout its history, Talleres has succeeded in other competitions like the Nacional B in 1996 and the Copa Hermandad in 1977, alongside 61 titles obtained in the Córdoba Football League between 1915 and 1979.
The International Supercup represents a key occasion for Talleres to expand its record of official titles, becoming a unique possibility for the club. This coronation would mean the second international title in the history of the Córdoba team. In addition to its achievements in Conmebol, Talleres has celebrated several victories in the promotion divisions of Argentine football, standing out as the champion of the Primera B Nacional in 1997/98 and 2016, as well as the Argentinian Tournament A in 2013 and 2015.
Under the technical direction of Ricardo Gareca, Talleres won its only official title by defeating Sportivo Alagoano from Brazil in a memorable final. Despite starting the series with a loss, the team achieved an epic comeback at Chateau Carreras with a 3-0 victory that crowned them as continental champions. Although both River Plate, with 72 titles in its history, and Talleres have had irregular performances in the local championship, the Córdoba team has shown in the past its ability to achieve surprising feats.
