Club Atlético All Boys (Spanish pronunciation: [ˈkluβ aˈtletiko ˈol ˈbojs]) is an Argentine sports club based in Floresta, Buenos Aires. The institution is mostly known by its football team, which currently plays at the Primera B Nacional, the second division of Argentine football league system.
Other sports practised at the club are basketball, roller skating and kick boxing.
The name "All Boys" reflected the youthfulness of its founders, and followed the Argentine tradition of naming football clubs in English, such as Newell's Old Boys, Boca Juniors, River Plate and Racing Club had done before.
In 1914 All Boys registered to Argentine Football Association and began to play at "División Intermedia" (current Second Division) qualifying to play the Copa Competencia. The team promoted to Primera División in 1922, making its debut in the top division on 11 March 1923, against Temperley, which won the match by 1–0. The first official goal in Primera was scored against Porteño in a game that ended 1–1. All Boys won its first game in Primera in the 3rd fixture, when the "Albo" beat Progresista by 3–1.
All Boys disaffiliated from the Association in 1926 but the team returned to Segunda División one year later when both associations merged into one. In 1931, All Boys was promoted a second time, remaining in Primera until 1934 when the Amateur Association joined Professional league and all its teams were relegated.
