Nadie ganó así en Bilbao
When clubs played in overseas "friendlies," they were widely seen as representing all of Argentina. Racing played several matches during the summer of 1950 against Barcelona, Athletic Bilbao, and Portugal's Benfica. Mention is made of the Spanish…
¡Mario Boyé!
Racing touts the signing for Mario Boyé from Italy's Genoa, but the transfer is not yet official. Fan magazines have a tendency to announce important signings before they become official (sometimes leading to a situation akin to a bride left at the…
Apoyo incondicional
Just as the President and First Lady offer their unconditional support for sports, so too does Rácing offer a similar support to the First Couple. This article was published to commemorate the "Campeonato 'Evita'."

This advertisement contrasts the social disorder before Perón, and the calm he has brought to Argentina. A pure propaganda piece in Racing.
¡Buen viaje, doctor…!
As opposed to late 1946, when scant mention was made of Ramón Cereijo's membership to Rácing, every news about the Housing Minister is an opportunity in 1950 to wish him good luck. His role in securing the funds for the new stadium linked Rácing to…
"Racing ofrenda sus trofeos a quienes impulsan el deporte"
By dedicating their trophies to Juan Perón, Eva Perón, and Ramón Cereijo, Rácing honors their commitment to sports. This is a ceremonial gesture and shows how much Racing club officials benefited from close ties to the government.
Las socias ya tiened su "trinchera"
Because Rácing played their "home" matches in other stadiums for three years, during the construction of their new facility, several adjustments took place. One, which is corroborated through interviews, is that clubs gave women their own section of…
A River le ganó…"El equipo de potrero…
The use of the term "potrero" to characterize Rácing is odd. While River Plate is nicknamed "Los Millionarios," Rácing is also a major club with a long history. The article suggests that River fans, in a prior victory over Rácing, labeled them a…

The image bears similarities to Marxist artwork from Russia and Mexico, with the Argentine agricultural family striking a pose of faith in the future. Unlike Marxist propaganda, where workers are idealized as loyal to the nation, Peronist propaganda…
Various articles from a special issue of Racing
This special issue celebrates the history of the club, its old stadium, the new facility, and thanks key members of the Peronist government such as the President, First Lady, Ramón Cereijo, and Carlos Aloé.
Perón dijo: "Es maravilloso"; A la cabeza de los estadios
It is never clear why Perón did not attend the opening match at the new stadium named after him, but he toured a few days prior. The article mentions that the President would be pleased to know that a special section of the stadium is reserved for…
Los privilegiados del justicialismo
This is one example of several "ads" that ran in the magazine in the latter part of 1950 that highlighted various accomplishments by the Peronist state. More than a conventional ad, these informational pieces offered a more direct form of propaganda.
Racing en busca de la triple corona
Right after winning their second consecutive title, Racing suggests that a third straight title--which no team had accomplished yet--was within reach (Rácing will accomplish the feat in 1951).
