Die ganze Geschichte lesen
The club was established in August 2023 in the Belgrano neighborhood of Buenos Aires after an initiative from a group of students of the University of Belgrano, a private study house. They had proposed that the university's football team (which competed in the College Amateur Sports Association) could participate in competitions organised by the Argentine Football Association.
Thus when AFA dissolved the Primera D Metropolitana and created Torneo Promocional Amateur, Barrancas UMET was invited by the association to be part of the recently created league. Barrancas UMET's first official match was on 27 February 2024 vs Juventud de Bernal. It ended in a 1–1 tie.
In September 2026, under manager Néstor "Colo" Moramarco, Barrancas UMET achieved promotion to Primera C Metropolitana for the first time in its history. After topping Zone B during the regular phase with nine wins, four draws, and three defeats, the team reached the final against SAT. Barrancas won the championship tie 3–0 on aggregate, following a 2–0 victory in the first leg and a 1–0 win in the second leg with a goal from Luca Luna, earning the first promotion of the 2026 Argentine football season.
