Club Atlético Belgrano is an Argentine club based in Córdoba, Argentina, best known for its football team which currently competes in the Primera División. The club was founded on 19 March 1905, and its long history is a focal point for collectors and fans alike; Walkouts lists signed shirts and framed pieces tied to important matches and promotion nights that matter to supporters of El Pirata.
Home fixtures are played at the club’s principal ground, the Julio César Villagra, commonly called El Gigante de Alberdi, which holds around 35,000; Belgrano also uses the Estadio Mario Alberto Kempes for larger occasions. The squad’s recent rise includes the club’s notable success as Primera Nacional champions 2022, and the team’s standing has drawn wider attention, including a place in global club rankings by IFFHS.
Collectors chase Belgrano shirts for provenance tied to decisive seasons, notably the 2011-12 Promoción that produced the memorable River upset, the strong 2014-15 Primera División campaign, and the promotion-winning 2022 Primera Nacional run. Shirts from those campaigns are sought for match references, player numbers, and photographic provenance, especially where a match-worn item can be cross-checked against published match photos.
There are no widely documented post-1970 anniversary shirt releases listed in available records, so anniversary pieces are rarer for Belgrano compared with some Argentine clubs. That scarcity makes season and match-linked shirts more collectible, and collectors often prioritise items with clear match association or provenance tied to Alberdi fixtures and the Clásico cordobés against Talleres.
Fanshop retail pieces are actively collected, not only match-worn shirts. Early-run retail releases, player-issue variants and region-specific fanshop editions are all examples that attract interest, and many buyers prefer items accompanied by photographic verification or a documented signing. Free worldwide shipping is available on selected items, and well-documented fanshop shirts can form the backbone of a framed display or a signed shirt collection.
One useful insight for Belgrano collectors is the club’s supplier history and visible era markers, with TBS, Topper and Kappa noted across different seasons; provenance often ties a shirt to a supplier era, a derby match at El Gigante de Alberdi, or an appearance at the Mario Alberto Kempes. Derby provenance and supplier-era details are common provenance cues that help verify a shirt’s era and likely match usage.
For buyers focused on authentication and match provenance, items linked to the 2011-12 Promoción playoff vs River and the navy away shirt worn in that run are particularly prized, and availability is limited. Listings carrying exact photo proof receive strong interest from collectors and make it easier to confirm a shirt’s presence at key fixtures such as the 2011-12 playoff and the 2022 promotion campaign, and Walkouts will note those provenance cues on eligible items.
