Ferro have set three notable records in the Argentine Primera;

• In the Metropolitano 1981 championship their goalkeeper Carlos Barisio set a national record by not conceding a goal for 1,075 minutes of football, this includes a run of 10 complete games without letting in a goal.

• Ferro also set the record for the longest run without scoring a goal, they went 875 minutes without scoring between the end of Apertura 98 and Clausura 99.

• When Ferro won the 1982 National championship, they achieved it without losing a single game, they were only the 2nd team to achieve the feat after San Lorenzo, River Plate and Boca Juniors have also achieved this feat in the 1990s.
