On 1951, a group of Armenia citizens decided to form a team which represented their community passion for football. The club started out as San Juan, before being named Club Deportivo Obrero, the club was soon renamed in honor of Racing, a famous Argentine football club. After changing name they won their first title in 1953, being promoted to Liga B (currently known as Tercera Division), for the next two decades the club would remain in the division, however in 1970, the club defeated local team Club Leones to be promoted to the Liga de Ascenso (currently known as Segunda Division).
