I recently picked up the following 6x4” photo from a photo album, containing Argentinian sports, ie Hockey & Football etc. The wonders of the post internet world.

The photo is annotated Racing Club v British team at Belgrano, 1906.

I think Southampton went out there, but not in 1906?

Any thoughts?

Southampton toured South America in 1904 playing 5 matches in Buenos Aires and one match in Montevideo.

On 06/07/1904 they played Belgrano Athletic Club winning 6-1. In 1906 they were on an extensive European tour.

According to the RSSSF archive it would appear that the South African F.A. toured Argentina in 1906. Apparently the team was formed by British amateur players belonging to the South African F.A.

Results as per below:



Interestingly, Belgrano is a suburb of Buenos Aires
