Let me explain an approach. The five big team you mention reached that name by tradition and mainly Championships and number of fans. Those team won all Argentina Championships since the professional era in 1931 until Estudiantes won it in 1967, as you mentioned (and also Estudiantes won the Libertadores Cup in 1968, 1969, 1970 and 2009 and the Intercontinental Cup in 1968). Since that moment, started the discussion for the 6th big team in Argentina, mainly among Estudiantes by showing your National & International Titles and Huracan, by showing your number of fans and its "Derby" against the classic rival San Lorenzo. In last 20 years, Velez was added to the 6th big discussion by winning several local & international championships but with less fans that Estudiantes/Huracan. Depending on the parameters (fan population and/or Titles) you could have the 6th Team Hi..I am from Argentina…To be a 6th big Team in Argentina is an endless discussion … Let me explain an approach.
