Club Atlético Obras Sanitarias de la Nación (mostly known simply as Obras Sanitarias or Obras) is an Argentine professional sports club that is located in the district of Núñez, Buenos Aires. Although originally conceived as a rugby union club, Obras Sanitarias is mostly known for its basketball team, which currently plays in the Liga Nacional de Básquet, which is the first division of the Argentine basketball league system. Apart from basketball and rugby union, other disciplines practiced at the club are chess, judo, swimming, table tennis, and tennis.

Obras Sanitarias has been nicknamed Los Tacheros, a lunfardo word used to refer to Argentine taxi drivers, because taxi cabs are painted in black and yellow, which are the same colors of Obras' jersey uniforms.

History

Obras Sanitarias was founded in 1917, by employees of the state-owned water supply company, "Obras Sanitarias de la Nación". On March 22, 1925, the club opened its sports facilities, allowing members to practice athletics, basque pelota, bowls, football, rugby union, swimming and tennis there. In 1941, Obras inaugurated its headquarters in the city of Buenos Aires, for the practice of indoor sports.

In 1978, Obras inaugurated its indoor arena, named Estadio Obras Sanitarias, and two years later, the first synthetic field hockey pitch in South America.

Basketball

Obras Sanitarias, along with the Brazilian clubs Sírio and Flamengo, and the Venezuelan club Guaros de Lara is one of only four South American basketball clubs that have won the FIBA Intercontinental Cup title. Obras did so in the 1983 FIBA Intercontinental Cup, by defeating the Italian League club Jollycolombani Cantù. In February 2012, Obras won the South American League championship for the first time, after winning the 2011 edition of the tournament, after beating the Brazilian club Pinheiros, by a score of 88–73 in the final.^[1]
