In the 1920s the club changed its team to Club Atlético San Telmo which remains nowadays. In 1926 the club moved to Isla Maciel, opening its own stadium in 1929. The first title won by San Telmo was 1949 Primera C Metropolitana but due to a restructuring of Argentine league system, the squad did not promote to the upper division.
In 1975 San Telmo finished third in Primera B Metropolitana tournament which qualified the team to play the playoffs to promote to Primera División, which finally obtained. Although being promoted to the first division, San Telmo was relegated in the next season. Nevertheless, the team that played in the First Division during 1976 wrote a memorable page in the history of the club on May 25, 1976 when it defeated Boca Juniors 3-1 at Huracán's stadium.[2] On that day, San Telmo line-up was: Wenner; Sarmiento, Minutti, Sandoval, Regueira; Camejo, Rilo, Cloquell; Pisapia, Patti, Coronel. Boca Juniors included all the stars of the very successful Toto Lorenzo era: Gatti; Ovide, Mouzo, Gutiérrez, Tarantini; Veglio, Suñé, Trobbiani; Felman, Taverna, and Mastrángelo. Despite being down 0-1 at half time, San Telmo finally won the match 3-1, with a goal scored by Camejo and two late goals by Pedro Coronel.
San Telmo's stadium is named Dr. Osvaldo Baletto and is located in the Isla Maciel of Dock Sud. It was closed from February 11, 2006 due to violent incidents in a match against Talleres de Remedios de Escalada[3], which caused that San Telmo had to play its home games at the Estadio Alfredo Ramos, the home of Club Comunicaciones.[4]
