History
Founded on 12 October 1932 as an honour to military leader Martín Miguel de Güemes, the club mainly played in regional competitions. In 1986, after winning the previous year's Torneo Regional, they featured in the 1986 Liguilla Pre-Libertadores, being knocked out by Ferro Carril Oeste in the qualifying rounds.
Güemes narrowly achieved promotion to Primera B Nacional in 1988; after leading their zone in the Torneo del Interior, the club reached the finals but lost to San Martín de Tucumán. The club finally reached promotion to the Torneo Federal B in 2014, after winning eight out of ten matches in the regional leagues.
On 28 December 2015, Güemes defeated San Martín de Formosa and reached the Torneo Federal A for the first time in their history. Despite suffering immediate relegation, the club returned to the division for the 2019–20 campaign, where they led their group before the season was curtailed due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Güemes won the 2020 Torneo Federal A after the season was reestablished, achieving promotion to the Primera Nacional on 18 January 2021.
Güemes har aldrig vundet et større trofæ, men har været tæt på adskillige gange. I 2019 nåede de finalen i Torneo Federal A, men tabte til Deportivo Maipú. I 2020 blev de vicemestre i Primera B Nacional, men tabte i playoff-kampen om oprykning til Liga Profesional de Fútbol til Quilmes.
Klubbens mest berømte spillere er:
* **José Luis Herrera** (tidligere argentinsk landsholdsspiller)
* **Facundo Sava** (tidligere argentinsk landsholdsspiller)
* **Rubén Da Silva** (tidligere uruguayansk landsholdsspiller)
Güemes har et stærkt rivalisering med naboklubben Mitre. De to klubber mødes i den såkaldte "Clásico Santiagueño", der er et af de mest intense rivalopgør i argentinsk fodbold.
