Club de Fútbol Pachuca is a Mexican professional football club based in Pachuca, Hidalgo, that plays in Liga MX, the top division of Mexican football. Founded in 1892 as Pachuca Football Club, then changed its name to Pachuca Athletic Club in 1895, and finally changed to its current name in 1960. The club was founded by workers of the Mexican mining company called "Compañia Real del Monte y Pachuca", which had mostly British miners immigrants from Camborne and Redruth (Cornish diaspora), who were the first to introduce football to Mexico. Nicknamed "Los Tuzos", it pays tribute and refers to the history and mining heritage of the club and the city of Pachuca. It was the first football club founded in Mexico, and was one of the founding members of the Liga Mexicana de Football Amateur Association,[2] which was the first amateur football league created in Mexico.

After several seasons participating between the second and first division, Pachuca was last promoted to the Primera División de México in 1998. Since then, it has been one of the most successful clubs in Mexico, winning 7 Liga MX titles, 6 CONCACAF Champions Cup titles, the 2006 Copa Sudamericana and the 2007 North American SuperLiga. Pachuca was the first and is the only club from Mexico and CONCACAF to win an exclusive South American competition organized by CONMEBOL, and is currently the only club in the world to win an official continental club tournament in a confederation outside its own.

History

C.F. Pachuca in 1903

Amateur era

The British miners from Cornwall in the south-west of England, working for the Compañía Real del Monte y Pachuca (CRDMyP), founded the first football club in Mexico on November 1, 1892 and it was called Pachuca Football Club. Originally they practiced football only as an unorganised hobby during their free time while working at the mines owned by William Blamey. Alfred C. Crowle was the man who first introduced the sport to the Mexican miners, the game rapidly spread in popularity and other clubs soon were established in surrounding states, including Orizaba, Puebla and Mexico City.

Pachuca FC changed its name to Pachuca Athletic Club in 1895, after merging with Pachuca Cricket Club and Valasco Cricket Club, in which football and other sports could be practiced.

In 1902, Pachuca AC joined Orizaba AC, Reforma AC, British Club and Mexico Cricket Club to found the Liga Mexicana de Football Amateur Association. Pachuca AC won its first amateur title in the 1904–05 season and also won the Copa Tower twice (1907–08 and 1911–12).

In the 1908 season, a Mexican born player, David Islas appeared for the first time in the ranks of the team. In 1915, most of the players on the team were Mexicans, winning two more amateur league titles (1917–18 and 1919–20), under the British coach Alfred C. Crowle.

After 1920, the mining company entered into crisis due to the effects of the Mexican Revolution, which is why the team was desintegrated and most of its players moved to Mexico City. Its last participation in the amateur era was in the Torneo Centenario 1921 (English: 1921 Centennial Tournament).

Professional era

The club was dissolved for 29 years (1921-1950) until its return in 1950 as one of the founding members of the Segunda División de México, however the club was dissolved again in 1952.

The club returned in 1960, and changed its name to Club de Fútbol Pachuca which has remained since then. In the 1966–67 season, the team was crowned champion of the Segunda División de México and was able to move up to the Primera División. In the 1967–68 season, the club's first season in the top professional league (Primera División de México), the team finished in 12th place. Their first match was a 1–3 defeat against Necaxa, where Armando Cuervo became the club's first scorer in the top professional division. The club's first victory in the Primera División de México' was on July 16, 1967, beating Monterrey 2–1 at home Pachuca remained in the Primera División until the 1972–73 season, in which the team was relegated for the first time, after losing the relegation playoff.

The "Tuzos" would have to wait 19 years before being able to return to the Primera División, after winning the Segunda División for second time in the 1991–92 season, but the following year they were relegated for the second time, at the end of the 1992–93 season. The Primera División A de México is created in 1994, later called Ascenso MX. In the 1995–96 season, the team becomes champions of the Primera A for first time and is promoted to the Primera División. However, once again they would only participate in the Primera División for one season (1996–97 season) and were relegated again to the Primera A, that was the third and last relegation in the club's history.

After the FMF splits the calendar into two half-length tournaments, Pachuca won the Invierno 1997 tournament and becomes champions of the Primera A for second time. Also won the 1998 Copa Campeón de Ascenso, beating Tigrillos UANL and were promoted to the Primera División for fourth time and last promotion in the club's history. Pachuca returns to the Primera División in 1998, and since then it has remained in the top level division. In the 1998–99 season, the team breaks its own bad streak with a draw against Atlante in the Estadio Azteca in front of 30,000 people and avoids returning to the Primera División A.

In the Invierno 1999 tournament, Pachuca won the Primera División de México title for the first time in its history, defeating Cruz Azul 1–0 at overtime in the second leg of the final on December 19, 1999 under the coach Javier Aguirre, which culminated with a golden goal scored by the striker Alejandro Glaria. After winning the league title, the club was invited to participate in the 2000 Copa Merconorte, which was its first participation in CONMEBOL competitions. They finished third in their group and failed to qualify for the knockout stages.

Pachuca again under Javier Aguirre, are finalists in the Verano 2001 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 January 29, 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 Invierno 2001 finals where they face Tigres UANL in the Estadio Universitario and conquer their second league title.

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 failed to make the liguilla during two consecutive tournaments. 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, beating San Luis 1–0 on aggregate 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 2006

Goalkeeper Miguel Calero was a key player in the 2006 Copa Sudamericana title

After winning the Clausura 2006, Pachuca qualified for the 2006 Copa Sudamericana. Their first match was a 2–1 loss in the round of 16, against Tolima in Ibagué,[4] but in the second leg they had a resounding 5–1 victory at home and qualified for the next round.[5] In the quarterfinals, they faced Lanus, where they had an excellent 3–0 victory in Argentina,[6] before drawing 2–2 in Mexico.[7] In the semifinal they face Club Atlético Paranaense, who has been the defending finalist the previous year. The first leg was played in Curitiba, where Pachuca won 1–0 with a goal from Damián Álvarez in the 86th minute.[8] In the second leg, Pachuca won 4–1, and advanced to the final with an resounding 5–1 on aggregate.[9] In the finals they were matched up with Colo-Colo, one of Chile's most historic and popular clubs; the first leg in Mexico finished in a draw 1–1.[10] In the second leg at Estadio Nacional on December 14, the Chilean club scored first, but Pachuca scored two second half goals to turn the game around and win the title for the first time in its history, 3–2 on aggregate.[11]

With the 2006 Clausura title, Pachuca qualified for the 2007 CONCACAF Champions' Cup, where they disposed of W Connection and MLS team D.C. United, before defeating Chivas Guadalajara 7–6 on penalties in the final after a 2–2 draw on aggregate on April 25, 2007.

On May 27, Pachuca won their 5th league title in the Clausura 2007, beating América 3–2 on aggregate; 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 July 31, 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 October 1, 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]

In August 2007, the club won the North American SuperLiga, a tournament between teams from Liga MX and MLS. Pachuca beat the Los Angeles Galaxy on penalties (4–3) after tying 1-1 at the end of extra time. Shortly after, CONCACAF named Pachuca as the 2007 Team of the Year for their 5 titles in 17 months, which were the 2006 Clausura title, the Copa Sudamericana title, the CONCACAF Champions Cup, the 2007 Clausura, and the North American SuperLiga. With the CONCACAF Champions Cup title, Pachuca claimed a spot in the 2007 FIFA Club World Cup, where they had a disappointing performance, being knocked out by their first rival in the tournament, CAF champions Étoile Sportive du Sahel from Tunisia.

Pachuca made it to the Clausura 2009 Finals, losing to Pumas UNAM. In April 2010, Pachuca clinched their fourth CONCACAF Champions League title after defeating Cruz Azul on away goals, and secured a berth for the 2010 FIFA Club World Cup, where they were knocked out by CAF Champions and eventual CWC runners-up TP Mazembe. During the Bicentenario 2010 tournament, Pachuca made it to the semifinals with a 2–2 draw at Estadio Hidalgo, and then losing 1–0 in Toluca, eventually losing 3–2 on aggregate.

On May 29, in the Clausura 2016, Pachuca beating Monterrey 2–1 on aggregate in the finals, to win their sixth league title. In 2017, Pachuca won their fifth Champions League title, defeating Tigres UANL in the finals (2–1 on aggregate). With this victory, they secured a spot in the 2017 FIFA Club World Cup, where they had a respectable performance, defeating Al Jazira 4–1 in the third place match. On October 30, Pachuca won their seventh league title in the Apertura 2022 tournament, beating Toluca in the finals (8–2 on aggregate), and becoming the team with the most goals scored in a Liga MX final.

In the 2024 CONCACAF Champions Cup, Pachuca wins another international title, becoming CONCACAF champions for the sixth time, after beating Columbus Crew 3–0 at home in the final.

Crest and colors

The club's crest has its two traditional colors (blue and white), in its center is the Monumental Clock of Pachuca, which is the representative monument of the city, it was built in commemoration of the centenary of the Independence of Mexico and inaugurated on September 15, 1910.

Originally the colors used by the club were black and white, during its participation in the Liga Mexicana Amateur de Football Association from 1902 to 1920. In the early 1960s the club began to use the blue and white combination as its traditional colors, which are currently used. Alternative colors that are commonly used are black, orange and different shades of blue. The black, orange and white combination was used for the first time in the Apertura 2006 and became the club's traditional away colors, because those were the colors of the away kit whit which Pachuca won the 2006 Copa Sudamericana beating Colo-Colo in Chile.
