History
Founded in 1903, the club initially had white and blue colors, later changed to black and white in tribute to the Estudiantes club from Buenos Aires .
In 1906, the first "golden era" began for the Wanderers. That year they became the champions of Uruguay for the first time in their history. Only once the “black and white” tied (out of 10 matches), the goal difference was 17: 3. In 1909, the team won the second title.
The second great period in the club’s history dates back to the 1920s , when the Uruguayan League split into two championships. In both, the Wanderers delegated on command. In the AUF ( Uruguay Football Association ) tournament, the Wanderers did not achieve serious victories, and in the FUF ( Uruguay Football Federation ) in 1923, Atletico Wanderers (the club took this name to distinguish the two teams playing in the AUF and FUF) became the third time as the champion of Uruguay, in a dramatic confrontation with Peñarol. In the 31st round, the Wanderers tied and lost once, while the Peñarol lost two times, two points behind. The Athletes had 59 points, the goals were 75: 8, and the Peñarol scored 57 points, scored 100 goals, conceded 10. Next year the Wanderers finished second, again in the confrontation with Peñarol.
Montevideo Wanderers won the last championship title in 1931 .
In 1975, the team debuted in the Libertadores Cup . Since the early 1980s, the club has played several times in this tournament, making its way there, as a rule, through Ligilya .
