Nickname origin
Throughout its history, the team has developed a reputation for being tenacious even when a match appears to be lost. For this reason, a lioness was chosen as their symbol when the team qualified for the 2000 Summer Olympics. The lion ( Panthera leo) is a member of the family Felidae and one of four Big cats in the Genus Panthera. "I am proud and happy to proclaim that you have presented to the world the best Olympic Games ever During the second round of games, Argentina played against the powerful Dutch team, and they chose this occasion to place the image of a lioness on their shirts for the first time. Tournament records Olympic Games 1984 &ndash Los Angeles, United States 1988 &ndash Seoul Argentina won that match, went on to win the silver medal, and Las Leonas were born. The name also falls in line with an unwritten Argentine tradition of naming national teams after big cats: the men's rugby union team is called Los Pumas ("The Pumas"), and the women's volleyball team is known as Las Panteras ("The Panthers"). The term big cat is used to distinguish the larger cat species from smaller ones Overview See also Playing rugby union A rugby union match lasts for 80 minutes (plus stoppage time with a short The Argentina national rugby team, nicknamed Los Pumas, represents Argentina in international Rugby union matches The cougar ( Puma concolor) also puma, mountain lion, or panther, depending on region is a Mammal of the Felidae family Volleyball is an Olympic team sport in which two teams of 6 active players (5 normal players and one 'libero' are separated by a net that is usually four feet The Argentina women's national volleyball team is the national team of Argentina.
