Club de Fútbol Pachuca is a Mexican professional football team based in Pachuca, Hidalgo, that competes in Liga MX. Founded by Cornish miners from Camborne and Redruth in 1892, it is one of the oldest football clubs in the Americas, and was one of the founding members of the Mexican Primera División.[2]
After decades of mediocre seasons between the first and second divisions, Pachuca was last promoted to the Primera División in 1998. Since then, it has been one of the most successful clubs in Mexico, winning 7 national championships, 5
History
Amateur era
On 19 July 1907, the
In the 1908 season, a Mexican born player, David Islas, appeared for the first time in the ranks of the team. From 1910 to 1912, the
Professional era
In 1967 the team was crowned champion of the Segunda División and was able to move up to the Primera División. However, the team fared poorly and returned to the Segunda División in the early 1970s. The "Tuzos" would have to wait 19 years before being able to return to the Primera División in the 1992–93 season, where they would struggle to remain and were relegated at the end of that same season. The loss of prestige of the Segunda División causes a new division of play to be created. The
After the
With a strong effort from the organization, they manage to keep 85% of the original championship team for the following season and by 2001, the "Tuzos", again under Javier Aguirre, are finalists in the summer tournament. They fall to Santos Laguna in the Estadio Corona in Torreón, Coahuila. During that season, the team lost one of its biggest figures when Pablo Hernán Gómez was killed in a car accident on 29 January 2001.[3] By the end of 2001, Javier Aguirre is chosen to coach the Mexico national team which found itself at risk of not qualifying for the 2002 FIFA World Cup, and the team selects Alfredo Tena to be the new coach. Tena leads the team to the 2001 Winter Tournament Finals where they face Tigres UANL in the Estadio Universitario and conquer their second league title.
2001 was also a celebration year for the team; Pachuca became the first Mexican professional football team to reach 100 years of existence. The team organized a large number of special events, among them the inauguration of a university with a curriculum that revolves entirely around football related fields called Universidad del Fútbol.
In the Apertura 2003, the team captured yet another championship, again against Tigres UANL, and again in their stadium. This time, the coach was Víctor Manuel Vucetich. Between 2004 and 2005 the team devoted more attention to social and marketing issues and failed to make the playoffs during two consecutive seasons. President Jesús Martínez however, vowed that the team would return to be among the headliners of the Primera División. As a result, Pachuca won the Clausura 2006 championship, beating San Luis in the finals after having an exceptional season which saw the club top the general standings table. It was the first time that Pachuca won the championship by playing the return match in its home stadium, and their fourth title in eight years.
Copa Sudamericana title: 2006
With the 2006 Clausura title, Pachuca qualified for the
On 27 May, Pachuca won their 5th domestic title in the Clausura 2007, in a final that was disputed against America; winning this championship meant Pachuca had won 4 trophies in the past 15 months, 2 domestic trophies exactly one year apart, and two international championships; the Sudamericana and the CONCACAF Champions' Cup. By winning the league title Pachuca qualified to the 2008 Champions' Cup in a bid to defend their title, which they did successfully by defeating Saprissa in the finals in April, and later secured a berth for the 2008 FIFA Club World Cup in December 2008, where they were knocked out by 2008 Copa Libertadores champions L.D.U. Quito after losing 2–0.
On 31 July 2007, Pachuca entered into a club-to-club partnership with the Colorado Rapids of the MLS. The alliance included a home-and-home annual series between the clubs, an exchange of best business practices, and the establishment of the Tuzos Soccer Academy at Dick's Sporting Goods Park, which was officially launched on 1 October 2007. The move established the Rapids as Pachuca's official partner club in the United States, in a move designed for promotion of both on field development, player exchanges, and business incentives for both clubs on either side of the border.[12]
