The Romance of supporting Argentina's Oldest Club | Quilmes AC | Los Cerveceros de Quilmes



The city of Quilmes is 20 km south of Buenos Aires and is best known for its world famous brewery. The Quilmes Atlético Club (QAC) football club was founded in 1887 and is the oldest football club in Argentina.

Today the QAC is considered an «elevator team», but despite the misery, the supporters stay loyal. With flags, drums and vocal support, they turn the curve into a madhouse week after week. In the film, the fans – the so-called cerveceros (beer brewers) – express their passion and love for their club and present a view into the soul of Argentine football.

The film is a joint project by Andreas Geipel, Franz Sickinger and Shooresh Fezoni.

Nominated for the German Reporter Award 2011 in the category «Best Web Reportage».

Nominated for the Axel Springer Prize 2012.

  1. This was made by the German Journalist A. Geipel who lived in Buenos Aires for three years and got deep into the heart of the Barra Brava of Quilmes. Somehow it’s frightening because it’s like the Mafia, otherwise it’s fascinating because of the passion and heart those Fans from Argentina Show for Football and especially for their club.

  2. this is an amazing series. i guess you will be interested in the fight of the racing club fans against the bankrupcy of the club in 2001 a great highlight in the history of the club and the argentinian passion for the football
