There are two newly promoted clubs for the 2009 Apertura and the 2010 Clausura.  Chacarita Juniors are from just outside the northwestern city limits of Buenos Aires,  in Villa Maipú, Buenos Aires Province.  However,  their stadium is being rebuilt,  and they currently are playing back within the city limits,  here at Estadio Ricardo Etcheverry,  and at Vélez Sársfield’s Estadio José Amafitani {click here}. 

The club was formed in an anarchist library,  in the Chacarita Barrio,  in north-central Buenos Aires.  Chacarita Juniors won the 1969 Metropolitano,  but have spent the majority of their years in the lower divisions.  Chacarita’s last spell in the top flight lasted from 1999 to 2004.  Here is the architect’s rendering of Chacarita Juniors future home {click here (Google 3D warehouse, w/ translation available)}.  

The other promoted club is from the remote northwestern Province of Tucumán,  Atlético Tucumán.  The club replaces,  so to speak,   another Tucumán club who were just relegated…San Martin de Tucumán.  Apertura 2009/Clausura 2010 will be Atlético Tucumáns 10th season in the Primera División,  their previous spell being a single season in 1984-’85.  Here is the 3D image of Atlético Tucuman’s Estadio Monumental José Fierro  {click here (Google 3D warehouse)}.
