The club is named after Field Marshal Sir Douglas Haig, a victorious British general from World War I.
History
In November 1918 a group of British workers on the Argentinian Central Railroad decided to set up a football team to take part in the local soccer championship. This required the consent and support of the Chief of the railway, Mr. Ronald Leslie, who, requested that the new club name itself in honour of Sir Douglas Haig, the Commander-in-Chief of the British Armies in Western Europe. Club Atlético Douglas Haig was thereby founded on 18 November 1918.[1]
From 2000 to 2007 the club played in Torneo Argentino A, the country's third division, being relegated in 2007 to the fourth division, where they played for three seasons until returning to the third division in 2010.
On 14 May 2012, the club won the 2011–12 Torneo Argentino A championship and achieved promotion to the second division for the first time in 13 years.[2] In their first season back, the 2012–13 season, Douglas Haid finished 11th out of 20. Douglas Haig played in this division until their relegation in the 2016–17 season.
