From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Liverpool Fútbol Club, usually known simply as Liverpool, is an Uruguayan football club based in Montevideo. The club joined the first division for the first time in 1919. The name was taken after a geography class where the former members of the club were studying the ports of Great Britain, and they decided that "Liverpool" would sound good for a football team. For the 2005-06 season, the away kit changed to a new all red one, thus looking exactly like the English Liverpool football team. Liverpool plays home matches in Estadio Belvedere (Belvedere Stadium), formerly owned by the Montevideo Wanderers.
[edit] Honours
Liverpool have failed to win any domestic title. They are famously dubbed as the greatest team in the league never to win the title of champions.
They have also never won either of the major cups, they have reached the final of the Torneo Apertura and liguilla,both in 1995 only to be beaten by Club Atlético Peñarol and Defensor Sporting respectively.
[edit] Trivia
- Montevideo's most famous export is none other than goal machine Diego Forlan. Forlan was once on the books at Liverpool but was released at a young age. Coaches proclaimed he would never make it in the big leagues. Current chairman José L. Palma regards this as the biggest mistake in the clubs glorious history.
