1 / Huracán fans are nicknamed 'los quemeros' (the burners). Not bad, right?
Well, actually, it's because the area in which their stadium Estadio Tomás Adolfo Ducó is located is where people used to burn their rubbish.

2 / But more importantly we love the pre-match band making their way down the terraces, quickly followed by bouncing banner-waving ultras.
3 / Huracán asked for permission from Argentine aviator Jorge Newbery to use a balloon as their club emblem.
Jorge said "I gave my most complete approval to the request, hoping that the team will honor the balloon that crossed three countries in a unique trip."

4 / In the 2018-19 season, the club's average attendance was 17,692 - 14th in that year's Primera División attendance rankings.
5 / Buenos Aires-born Armenian international Norberto Briasco opened the scoring away at Vélez Sársfield yesterday with this strike.
6 / Huracán's barrio, Parque Patricios in the south of Buenos Aires, is home to the Buenos Aires government HQ as of 2015.
It is bordered by the barrio of Boedo to the west, where Huracán's historical rivals San Lorenzo play.

7 / This is a wonderful video. You should watch it, unless you're already missing football enough.
8 / Huracán memorably ended a 41-year wait for a trophy in 2014 as they beat Rosario Central on penalties in the Copa Argentina.
