About

Albion Football Club is a Uruguayan football club, located in Montevideo. The club, founded in 1891, is the oldest football club in Uruguay and currently plays at Uruguayan Segunda División, the second division of the Uruguayan Football Association league system. It is considered the oldest football club in Uruguay because other institutions such as Montevideo Rowing Club and Montevideo Cricket Club had been founded before but they were not specifically dedicated to that sport. In July 2018, Albion became a member of the Club of Pioneers, a worldwide association involving oldest football clubs in the world, as the "oldest active football club in Uruguay".
