==History==
[[File:Central cordoba 1933.jpg|thumb|left|250px|The 1933 team that won the Copa Beccar Varela, its only title in Primera División]]
The club was founded in 1906 by a group of railway workers and named after the [[Córdoba Central Railway]] that ran from [[Retiro railway station]] to [[Córdoba, Argentina|Córdoba]] through Rosario.{{cn|date=October 2024}}
The nickname "Charrúas" was born from a misspelling, when the journalist Alejandro Berrutti wrote an article in "La Nota" (a satirical newspaper printed in Rosario) where he wrongly named "Arturo Charrúa" to Arturo Charra, the manager who represented Central Córdoba in the Rosario Football League. This mistake has remained as the most popular nickname for Central Cordoba since then, such as the Club and players as its supporters too.<ref>[http://todapasion.tn.com.ar/nota/otros/25344/por-que-nos-dicen-charrua-a-los-de-central-cordoba Por qué nos dicen "Charrúas"] (in Spanish)</ref>

Some of the most highlighted footballers were Gabino Sosa (who gave his name to the stadium), [[Vicente De la Mata]] -although he spent most of his career in [[Club Atlético Independiente|Independiente]]-, and [[Tomás Carlovich|Tomás "El Trinche" Carlovich]], who has been recognized by [[Diego Maradona]] and [[José Pekerman]] as the best domestic football player ever. Carlovich's legend rose during a friendly match between a team formed by some prominent ''Rosarino'' players, such as [[Daniel Killer]], [[Mario Kempes]], [[Mario Zanabria]], [[Gabriel Caballero]] and Carlovich, and the [[Argentina national football team]] which was to dispute the [[1974 World Cup]].{{cn|date=October 2024}}
At the end of the first half, the Rosario team was defeating Argentina 3–0. The journalist attending the match stated that Carlovich's performance during the first 45 minutes had been so outstanding that national team coach [[Vladislao Cap]], asked the Rosario coach if Carlovich could be substituted at halftime. Rosario's coach agreed to that requirement so Carlovich did not play the 2nd half, with Rosario winning the match 3–1.{{cn|date=October 2024}}
Another notable player was Daniel "Pato" Núñez, who is the all-time leading scorer, and Andrés Radice. Central Córdoba played in [[Argentine Primera División]] in 1958 and 1959.{{cn|date=October 2024}}
