Argentinos Juniors is an Argentine football team, founded in La Paternal, Buenos Aires, on August 15, 1904.
The team, nicknamed Bichos Colorados (red bugs), is one of the most prolific sources of football players in Argentina, Diego Maradona, Fernando Redondo and Juan Román Riquelme being the most important of them.
This remarkable ability to keep producing world class players has given them the nickname El Semillero, meaning the nursery or the "seed garden". However, the club doesn't have many supporters, and has one of the less fellowship supporting group.
