History

The name "All Boys" reflected the youthfulness of its founders, and followed the Argentine tradition of naming football clubs in English, such as Newell's Old Boys, Boca Juniors, River Plate and Racing Club had done before.

In 1914 All Boys registered to Argentine Football Association and began to play at "Division Intermedia" (current Second Division) qualifying to play the Copa Competencia. The team promoted to Primera Division in 1922, making its debut in the top division on 11 March 1923, against Temperley, which won the match by 1–0. The first official goal in Primera was scored against Porteno in a game that ended 1–1. All Boys won its first game in Primera in the 3rd fixture, when the "Albo" beat Progresista by 3–1.

All Boys disaffiliated from the Association in 1926 but the team returned to Segunda Division one year later when both associations merged into one. In 1931, All Boys was promoted a second time, remaining in Primera until 1934 when the Amateur Association joined Professional league and all its teams were relegated.

In 1945 the team went down to the second division for the first time, but next year All Boys won the Tercera de Ascenso championship after defeating Justo Jose de Urquiza 2–1. That season All Boys played 24 matches and scored 91 goals.

In 1950 there was a restructuring in Argentine football that sent many teams to the lower division, alleging that those institutions had their stadiums in poor conditions to host the Primera Division matches. One of those teams relegated was All Boys. The following
