Sarmiento, the football club from Junín, had an unforgettable year in 1980, when they were crowned champions of the Primera B and promoted to the top division. Club Atlético Sarmiento, founded in 1911, had changed its name in 1933 and began competing in AFA's promotion tournaments in 1952. It was the club where Daniel Alberto Passarella originated, who would later be transferred to River to start his brilliant career as a footballer. In Sarmiento's long history, the happiest memory was the 1980 Primera B campaign, when they were crowned champions and promoted to the top division. The team was reinforced with experienced players like Ruben 'Hueso' Glaría, Rodolfo 'Lobo' Fischer, José Raúl 'Toti' Iglesias, and Roberto 'León' Espósito, who would be fundamental in achieving the title. The team, led by Oscar Cadars and later by Juan Carlos Montes, obtained 54 points, the result of 24 wins, 6 draws, and 8 losses, with 51 goals for and 30 against. The great joy came in the penultimate match, when Sarmiento hosted Chacarita Juniors and won 2-1, taking an insurmountable lead over their pursuer Atlanta. Toti Iglesias' goal unleashed the loud celebration of the fans who did not leave a single space free in the stands and boxes of the Eva Perón stadium. Sarmiento continued the celebrations in the final match, despite the defeat against Defensores de Belgrano. Sarmiento's unforgettable year is a memory that remains in the club's history and in the city of Junín. The team has had its ups and downs in its history, but the 1980 title is an achievement that will always be remembered. Sarmiento has continued to compete in AFA's promotion tournaments and currently plays in the Primera B Nacional, after their promotion in the previous season. The club continues to work to return to the top division and become a protagonist in Argentine football again.
