Club Nacional isn’t just one of Uruguay’s biggest clubs—it’s one of the oldest and most influential teams in all of South America. In this episode, we trace Nacional’s roots from its founding in 1899 as a criollo alternative to British-dominated teams, through their legendary Copa Libertadores triumphs, and into the present day. With fierce rivalries, deep national symbolism, and a legacy built on grit and glory, Nacional is the heart of Uruguayan football.
