Platense has established a world record that was previously held by Ipswich Town, a historic English club. Ipswich Town achieved a similar rapid rise from the third division to the top division in the 1950s. They won the English championship in their first season in the Premier League in 1961/62. Platense, on the other hand, won the Apertura 2025 title and made their international debut in 2026.
The club's rapid growth is a testament to their dedication and hard work. Platense reached the quarterfinals of the Copa Libertadores and will now face Fluminense, with the first leg to be played at the Maracaná stadium.
