Football
Football has been the main activity of the club since its foundation, although Ben Hur has achieved important titles in basketball as well. In its early years, Ben Hur started playing in the local league of Rafaela, but it was not until 1997 when Ben Hur left the regional tournaments to join the Argentine Football Association. The club subsequently won the Torneo Argentino A (the regionalized third division of the Argentine football league system) in 2004 promoting to Primera B Nacional. Then Ben Hur would be relegated to upper divisions and currently plays in the Torneo Argentino B.
Ber Hur football stadium is the Estadio Parque Barrio Ilolay.
