It was founded in 1913 and has played the Torneo Amateur Femenino de la Liga Cordobesa de Fútbol and División A since 2012. Although women's football became professional in Argentina in 2019, this only reached teams located near Buenos Aires. Because of this, Talleres still has non-professional footballers and participates in amateur tournaments in Córdoba.

Even so, it is one of the greatest exponents of women's football at a regional and national level, yielding players to the Argentine national team on numerous occasions and selling players to professional teams.[1][2]

History

In 2012, the first Torneo Amateur Femenino organized by the Liga Cordobesa de Fútbol was held. All teams affiliated with this regional league were required to submit a women's team for this season. The regulations indicated that two 30-minute halves would be played, up to seven changes could be made and that if there was a difference of seven goals, the match would be finalized.[3][4] In addition, the women's teams depended on the performance of the men's equivalents to access the final instances of the local competition.[5]

During this time, Valentina Mansilla, Shirley Sosa, Milagros Cisneros and Sofía Muñoz were called up several times to represent the Argentina under-17 national team.[6]
