La Paternal is a neighborhood located in the central-northwest part of the Autonomous City of Buenos Aires. It was founded in 1904 by a national decree.
Its name was due, for some, to the request of an Insurance Company "La Paternal", which owned many land in the area, where he built numerous houses for workers. Others think that the name was given by a grocery store, known because it stopped the carts that went to Luján passing the "road to Moreno".
The headquarters of the Asociación Atlético Argentinos Juniors, a centennial football club and champion of America that militates in the Argentine First Division is located in the neighborhood.
It has a capacity for 20,000 people and is an Argentinos Juniors venue. The stadium is also recognized for being the place where Diego Armando Maradona made his debut in Argentine football.
It was named in honor of Diego Armando Maradona, who officially debuted on that pitch on Wednesday, October 20, 1976, at the age of 15, and played there for 5 years in the First Division, who is the second highest historical scorer in the club with 116 annotations.
It was also destiny that many years later, Lionel Messi played for the first time with the Argentine National Team and scored his first goals with the Albiceleste.
Also, on the days it is open, you can visit the sanctuary in honor to Diego Armando Maradona, which is located on the Argentinos Juniors Stadium. The space, which was built in just one day, not only exhibits all the gifts that fans gave him after his death: the main attraction is the mural of Pelusa with the Bicho shirt that emulates an altar.
