The first club to tour on the region was Southampton in 1904, followed by several teams (mainly from England although some Scottish clubs also visited South America) until 1929 with Chelsea being the last team to tour. Due to the popularity of the sport in the UK and the calibre of teams, players from across the world come to England. In these early days of football in Argentina, nearly all of the players and officials were expatriate Britons or of British extraction, and the oldest football clubs in Argentina such as Rosario Central, Newell’s Old Boys and Quilmes A.C., were all founded by British expatriates.
