CD Cuautla
The Club Deportivo Cuautla is a Mexican football club from the state of Morelos south of Mexico City . As early as 1955, the club, founded in 1952, rose from the city of Cuautla , where the tomb of the Mexican folk hero Emiliano Zapata is located, to the first division. The club benefited from the invitation to a special tournament that the FMF had called for reasons of expanding the Primera División from 12 to 14 teams in the future and in which the CD Cuautla was just able to assert itself as third party.
history
The club played four consecutive years in the football upper house and achieved its best placement with eighth place in the 1956/57 season. After relegation in the summer of 1959, he should no longer succeed in returning to the first division, although in 1972 and 1979 he only narrowly failed as runners-up in the second division.
In recent years, the team played in the third-class Segunda División , Zona Centro, where it last competed in 2004/05 under its traditional name CD Cuautla. In the last two seasons one wore the new name Arroceros del CD Cuautla , whereby only the previous nickname Arroceros (rice farmers) was included in the club name.
Even if the overall success looks quite modest, the club behind the CD Zacatepec can be described as the most traditional football club in Morelos, disregarding the Club Marte , which only moved to Morelos in 1953 and no longer exists . With a 55-year club history and a four-year membership in the football club, he has far more to show than the short-term test-tube clubs CF Cuernavaca and CF Oaxtepec , which both disappeared almost faster than they once appeared.
