Biography
Formation
Club Deportivo Godoy Cruz Antonio Tomba, commonly known as Godoy Cruz, was established on June 1, 1921, when a group of friends met at the Victoria Bar in Godoy Cruz, Mendoza, to create a sports club. The club was officially founded later that month, on June 21, 1921, under the name "Sportivo Godoy Cruz". It underwent a significant name change on April 25, 1930, after merging with "Deportivo Bodega Antonio Tomba", adopting its current name.
Rise Through the Ranks
Initially competing in regional leagues, Godoy Cruz achieved notable success in the Mendoza first division, winning championships in 1944, 1947, 1950, 1951, 1954, 1968, and again in 1989 and 1990. Their victory in the Torneo del Interior in 1994 marked a pivotal moment, allowing them to ascend to the Primera B Nacional, the second tier of Argentine football. After a decade in the second division, Godoy Cruz finally reached the Primera División in 2006, clinching the title of the 2005–06 season of the Primera B Nacional.
Key Achievements
The club's first goal in the Primera División was scored by a young Enzo Pérez during a match against Belgrano on September 9, 2006. Godoy Cruz has since established itself as a competitive team in Argentine football, with a rich history of regional and national honors, including one title in the Primera B Nacional and multiple championships in the Liga Mendocina. The club's home ground, Estadio Feliciano Gambarte, known as La Bodega, has a capacity of 21,000 and has been a significant venue for their matches since its construction in 1959.

The club was officially founded on 21 June 1921 under the name "Sportivo Godoy Cruz", and changed to its current name on 25 April 1930 after the fusion with "Deportivo Bodega Antonio Tomba". In 1959, Godoy Cruz' stadium, the Estadio Feliciano Gambarte, was constructed. The stadium is nicknamed La Bodega (Spanish for "wine cellar") and holds 21,000 people.
Godoy Cruz played in the regional league for several years before reaching the national level. The club won the Mendoza first division championship in 1944, 1947, 1950, 1951, 1954, 1968, and also in 1989 and 1990 that qualified to play in the defunct Torneo del Interior national-level tournament.
