Defensa y Justicia is an Argentine professional soccer club based in Florencio Varela, Buenos Aires. Founded in 1935, the club has a rich history and has experienced both highs and lows. Defensa y Justicia has primarily competed in the lower divisions of Argentine football for much of its existence. However, in recent years, the club has enjoyed a surge in success. They gained promotion to the top-flight Primera División in 2014 and have since established themselves as a competitive force. The club's home venue is the Estadio Norberto Tomaghello, which has a capacity of around 18,000 spectators. Defensa y Justicia is affectionately known as "El Halcón" (The Falcon), a nickname that reflects the team's tenacity and predatory style of play.
