History
Club de Gimnasia y Esgrima La Plata, founded in 1887 in La Plata, is one of Argentina's oldest clubs and Estudiantes' historic rival in the La Plata derby. National titles and Lobo tradition marked the white-and-blue club. White and blue colours and La Plata identity link the club to the university city. Estadio Juan Carmelo Zerillo (El Bosque) hosts supporters; popular culture and the local rivalry shaped generations. Youth work and institutional continuity keep Gimnasia on the Argentine map. Rivalry with Estudiantes continues to define the club's path in contemporary football.
