Club Social y Deportivo Yupanqui is an Argentine football club that currently plays in the Primera D Metropolitana, the fifth division of the Argentine league system. The club was named as a tribute to notable Argentine folklore musician Atahualpa Yupanqui.
Yupanqui gained some notoriety in Argentina after a Coca-Cola television advertisement where it was referred to as the club with the least fans in Argentina.[1]
Before the Coca-Cola advertisement, the average number of fans that would show up to each game was between 5 and 7. After the advertisement, about 50 new club members joined. Even after the spike in recognition, the money they made was used for several projects such as restoring bathrooms, build a theater, a chess room, and the soccer team didn't receive any funding, even though they were solely responsible for all the recognition the club had received.[1]
