Club Atlético Peñarol (; English: Peñarol Athletic Club) —also known as Carboneros, Aurinegros and (familiarly) Manya— is an Uruguayan sports club from Montevideo. Founded as the Central Uruguay Railway Cricket Club (CURCC) on 28 September 1891, the club changed its name to Club Atlético Peñarol in 1913. The name "Peñarol" comes from the Peñarol neighbourhood on the outskirts of Montevideo. Throughout its history the club has also participated in other sports, such as basketball and cycling. Its focus has always been on football, a sport in which the club excels, having never been relegated from the top division. - Source: Wikipedia
