Club Atlético Excursionistas (familiarly called Excursio by fans) is an Argentine football club based in the Belgrano district of Buenos Aires. The squad currently plays in the Primera C, the fourth division of the Argentine football league system.
The club was founded in 1910 in the Belgrano neighborhood of Buenos Aires. The name “Excursionistas” (which could roughly be translated as “Voyagers” in Spanish) was given due to the founders used to make trips (voyages) to Paraná River and Isla Maciel to compete in athletic tournaments. They initially named the club as “Club Unión Excursionistas”.
The first jersey worn was green (the color of the grass) with a horizontal blue stripe (white referred to the table clothes used in the picnic they usually did).
Excursionistas disputed its first tournament in 1911, playing its home games at “Club Florida”, an institution of Florida neighborhood in Greater Buenos Aires. Before the 1912 season, the club acquired a land in Belgrano neighborhood, where its stadium was built, more precisely on the corner of La Pampa and Miñones streets.
The team won the 1916 Segunda División title after defeating Sportivo Palermo 1-0, and therefore promoted to División Intermedia. In 1919 the club changed its name to current Club Atlético Excursionistas, also modifying its jersey, which became white and green in vertical stripes.

In 1972 Excursionistas was relegated to Primera C, where remained until 1995 when the team promoted to Primera B, although its lasted there just for a season, being relegated again one year later. During the 1998-99 season Excursionistas made a great campaign, remaining 16 fixtures unbeaten. The following season (1999–2000) the squad, coached by Néstor Rapa, achieved a historic landmark of 10 consecutive wins, placing 1st and near to be promoted. Nevertheless, the institution was punished with a 21 points loss due to the riot caused by some part of its fans during the match against Club Comunicaciones. The hooligans jumped into the field to attack Comunicaciones players. As a result of the brutal aggression, striker Adrián Barrionuevo, had to be hospitalized. As a result, Excursionistas missed the chance to promote.
In 2001, Excursionistas won the Clausura tournament, although the team did not promote due to it was not established by the rules. That championship only allowed the squad to play a semi-final of a small tournament. The rival was Deportivo Laferrere which eliminated Excursionistas due to goal average, after winning the first game 2-0 and losing the second 2-3.
