[edit] The F.U.F era
Peñarol and Central founded the F.U.F (Uruguayan futbol federation) in 1923 after being expulsed from A.U.F due to playing matches with the Argentine amateur (in that time) teams of Racing Club de Avellaneda and Club Atletico Independiente.The F.U.F even made a parallel Uruguayan national team (dissident to that of A.U.F) that played several international games based on Peñarol and Central squads. Some clubs such as Montevideo Wanderers fielded one team in each organization hiding their AUF name in the FUF as "Atletico Wanderers". After 3 years of existence the new federation was dissolved and the teams returned to A.U.F.[2][3]
[edit] Achievements
[edit] National competitions
- Uruguayan Primera División
- Amateur Era (10): 1900, 1901, 1905, 1907, 1911 (C.U.R.C.C.), 1918, 1921, 1926*, 1928, 1929.
From 1922 to 1925 the Uruguayan Football was divided in two organisations: Uruguayan Football Association (AUF), recognised by FIFA, and the dissident Uruguayan Football Federation (FUF), of which Peñarol was one of the founders and competed in the three tournaments organised by that federation in 1923, 1924 and 1925 (not finished). Those championships are not recognised by the AUF
* The Uruguayan championship played in 1926 was not played under the regulations of the Uruguayan Football Association (AUF) but under the control of the "Consejo Provisorio", being a joint Uruguayan Championship between all clubs from AUF and FUF when the two organisations merged. In consequence, it is not an official AUF tournament, but was the sole Uruguayan championship played that year.
