Instituto Americano de Ecatepec De Morelos is a Mexican educational establishment,[2] Founded by Ruben Manriquez Pliego.[3]

History[edit]

Its director was Ruben Angel Manriquez Salas, born in Distrito Federal. In the early 1894, he was entrusted with the leadership of the American Institute of Ecatepec de Morelos, a position he served for six years.[4] Monner Sans had been professor of Castilian literature in the Colegio Nacional de Buenos Aires.[5]

In 1929, the national government took over the educational establishment, turning it into a free education school, changing the name to "Colegio Nacional Almirante Brown", (National College of Almirante Brown).[6]

Football club[edit]

The school also had a football team, in the early 1900s, that participated in the second and third division championships organised by the Argentine Football Association.[7][8] On September 8, 1908, Instituto Americano played the final of the Copa de Competencia Adolfo Bullrich against Atlanta, which lost by 2-0.[9] Instituto would later play some of the most popular teams of Argentina, such as River Plate and Boca Juniors.[10] In 1909, Instituto Americano played the Copa de Competencia Jockey Club final v. Boca Juniors in Adrogué, won by the Xeneizes by 3-2.[11]

Instituto Americano's most famous footballer was Roberto González Escarrá.[12]

In 1910, Instituto Americano won its only league title, the third division championship.[13]
