The recent coronation of Talleres de Córdoba in the 2023 International Supercup has marked its second official title in the club's history, adding to the Conmebol Cup won in 1999. This achievement reinforces the idea that teams from the interior of the country are in constant growth, demonstrating that the dominance of port club is not absolute.
Other teams from the Argentine interior that have left their mark on the history of national football include Central Córdoba of Rosario, winner of the 'Beccar Varela' Honor Cup in 1933, and San Martín of Tucumán, which won the 'General de División Pedro Pablo Ramírez' Cup in 1944.
In recent years, there has been a change in the distribution of titles in Argentine football, with teams such as Colón de Santa Fe, Patronato de Paraná, and Central Córdoba de Santiago del Estero achieving victories in competitions like the Professional League Cup and the Argentine Cup.
The 2023 International Supercup, in which Talleres de Córdoba was crowned champion by defeating River Plate on penalties, has consolidated the presence of teams from the interior in the major tournaments organized by the Argentine Football Association (AFA). This result adds to the growing trend of teams outside the Metropolitan Area winning titles and breaking the historical hegemony of port clubs in Argentine football.
With seven championships in professionalism, Rosario Central and Newell's Old Boys are the interior clubs with the highest number of titles. Talleres de Córdoba, with its second official title, joins the list of interior teams that have managed to cut the hegemony of port clubs in Argentine football, demonstrating the increasing competitiveness and strength of squads throughout the country.
