Of the current 30 teams in Primera Division in Argentina 16 of them are situated in Buenos Aires. This implies a constant flow of derbies and an ever present feeling of football and rivalry in the city. On matchdays you will see lines of buses stuffed with half naked young men hanging out the windows throwing their arms out while singing on their way to the stadium. In taxies, while the chaufeur's favorite team is playing, you will hear the entire match is being broadcasted in the radio. And in the parks you will see men of all ages carrying portable radios to hear how their team is doing. 

 

When going to the stadiums you will see it is a family event. Kids, parents and grandparents all go together to support the same team. It is a part of the family DNA, and it is a life long affiliation that starts even before you can walk and follows you untill can't anymore . 

 

If you have the chance while in Buenos Aires don't spare your self a trip to a stadium. And if you don't know which team to root for just go for San Lorenzo de Almagro.
