Huracán Fútbol Club, usually known simply as Huracán and sometimes called as Huracán del Paso de la Arena, is a Uruguayan football club based in Montevideo. It was founded in 1954.
Huracán Fútbol Club was founded on August 1, 1954 through the merger of two clubs composed mainly of young students: the "Club Atlético Charrúa" and "La Esquinita Football Club". The new team's name was inspired by a former club "Huracán" that participated in Uruguayan leagues during the early 20th century. Colors adopted from Club Nacional de Football, because the founders were fans of this Uruguayan giant.
