"One of the latest surveys shows Velez is the 9th most popular club in the country."

Wrong, is the 6th. http://infobae.com/contenidos/308310-100804-0-Boca-el-m%E1s-grande-pero-no-la-mitad-m%E1s-uno —Preceding unsigned comment added by 201.254.52.74 (talk) 06:21, 4 February 2008 (UTC)

The formal name is "Club Atlético Vélez Sarsfield" (no accent). "Vélez" is a Spanish last name and should be written with accent, but "Sarsfield" is an English last name and should be written without accent. While it is common to "Spanishize" words (even names), writing a name in its original grammar should never be considered as an error. So, the club has the right to choose how to write its own name, and it is "Vélez Sarsfield" according to the Founding Act. Besides that, you can visit the official website in order to check what I'm saying.. Can anyone change the article title please? I don't know how to do that. Thanks.

Well guys i have the answer for you here the Name Sársfield is Gaelic (Irish) only, It is not an English name in any way it never has been an English name and never and will be. Sársfield is spelt with a Fada a = á in Gaelic (Irish). but the name can be translated to English to spell Sarsfield with out the Gaelic fada if you where to spell it with the true meaning of the name it would have to be spelt Vélez Sársfield, and if you want it to be spelt in English you would have to spell it Velez Sarsfield if you have any Q. pleas ask Gazzas46zs (talk) 20:18, 1 August 2013 (UTC)


 * Thanks for the information, Gazzas46zs. However, Vélez "Sarsfield" appears without accent in the club's foundational document. Regards, Spooler  (talk) 18:54, 2 August 2013 (UTC)


 * Thanks for the reply Spooler, Well if it is in the official documents of Vélez "Sarsfield" club's foundational document's it would have to be spelt as is shown in there official document's there is no argument there. But if you want to spell the name of the man that the club was named indirectly after it would have to be spelled as ("Vélez" as Spanish) and (Sársfield as Gaelic-Irish) Regards Gazzas46zs (talk) 05:19, 15 August 2013 (UTC)

How Club Atlético Vélez Sarsfield got there name? Dalmacio Vélez Sársfield Train station
Club Atlético Vélez Sarsfield was named after Dalmacio Vélez Sársfield Train station The barrio of Velez Sarsfield in Buenos Aires is named after him. The Vélez Sársfield sports club, best known for its First Division football team, is indirectly named after him, having taken its name from a railway station bearing his name, he was born in Amboy, a small town in the Calamuchita Valley, in the province of Córdoba. His parents were Rosa Sarsfield Palacios, whose parents and ancestors were Irish, and Dalmacio Vélez Baigorri, who died before his son was born. He studied at the Jesuit college at the National University of Córdoba, Vélez Sársfield drafted the State of Buenos Aires Constitution of 1854 for Governor Pastor Obligado. The province's defeat at the Battle of Cepeda resulted in its reunification with Argentina, towards which Vélez Sársfield helped craft a series of requisite amendments to the Argentine Constitution i hope this helps.Gazzas46zs (talk) 21:01, 1 August 2013 (UTC)
