History

Founded on 12 October 1932 as an honour to military leader Martín Miguel de Güemes,[1] the club mainly played in regional competitions. In 1986, after winning the previous year's Torneo Regional, they featured in the 1986 Liguilla Pre-Libertadores, being knocked out by Ferro Carril Oeste in the qualifying rounds.

Güemes narrowly achieved promotion to Primera B Nacional in 1988; after leading their zone in the Torneo del Interior, the club reached the finals but lost to San Martín de Tucumán.[2] The club finally reached promotion to the Torneo Federal B in 2014, after winning eight out of ten matches in the regional leagues.[3]

On 28 December 2015, Güemes defeated San Martín de Formosa and reached the Torneo Federal A for the first time in their history.[4] Despite suffering immediate relegation,[5] the club returned to the division for the 2019–20 campaign,[6] where they led their group before the season was curtailed due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Güemes won the 2020 Torneo Federal A after the season was reestablished, achieving promotion to the Primera Nacional on 18 January 2021.[7]
