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]

In 2022, Talleres will start playing in Primera C, the third division of the women's national league.[3]

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.[4][5] In addition, the women's teams depended on the performance of the men's equivalents to access the final instances of the local competition.[6]

During this time, Valentina Mansilla, Shirley Sosa, Milagros Cisneros and Sofía Muñoz were called up several times to represent the Argentina under-17 and under-20 national team.[7][8] Other later call-ups include Milagros Mina (under-20), Catalina Primo (under-19 and under-20), Jazmín Allende, Magalí Chavero and Paulina Gramaglia (under-17).[9][10][11]

Florencia Pianello was top scorer in 2017 and 2018.[12] She is the all-time top scorer in Talleres with 135 goals in three years.[13] The international Argentine player would later sign Platense, a team in Primera División, but come back at the end of 2021 to play with "las Matadoras" again.[14] In 2022, Talleres was confirmed to play in Primera C national league.[15]
