Club Nacional de Fútbol, also known as "El Bolso", "El Tricolor" or "El Decano", is a Uruguayan football club that plays in Montevideo. It is the oldest existing club in Uruguay, having been founded on May 14, 1899.

The club plays much of its domestic football at the Parque Central (capacity 16,000), but matches against fierce arch-rivals Peñarol and other South American teams take place at the world famous Estadio Centenario.
