The Tecos FC , formerly Club Deportivo Estudiantes Tecos , before 2009 Tecos de la Universidad Autonoma de Guadalajara , also known as Tecos de la UAG or UAG Tecos known - is a Mexican football club from Zapopan in Guadalajara .

The club is associated with the Universidad Autónoma de Guadalajara and plays in the Estadio Tres de Marzo , which is named after the date the university was founded (March 3, 1935).

The nickname Tecos , in German "Owls", is derived from a secret student society at the university. Its members should have special privileges on campus.

history

Football was played early on in the ultra-Catholic and politically right-wing Universidad Autónoma de Guadalajara founded by aristocratic circles in 1935 . But the real calendar only begins with the establishment of the professional team in 1971, which suddenly began its triumphal march. The Tecos began their appearance in 1972/73 in the third division and made it through to the second division at the first attempt, which was followed two years later by promotion to the top division, to which the Tecos have belonged continuously since winning the second division championship in 1975.

When they arrived at the football club, they immediately qualified for the play-offs, in which they narrowly failed (0-0 and 0-1) against the superlider and later champion America .

Five years later, in the 1980/81 season, the Tecos themselves became Superlider for the first time, i.e. the team with the highest points in Mexico's premier league. What the championship would have meant in many other countries does not apply to the country, which is (not only) strongly oriented towards the USA in this respect . Then there were two groups of four in which the finalists were played. While the Tecos had won exactly 50% of all games in the main round (19 of 38), their nerves failed in this crucial phase. In six games they managed only one win, so that they were group bottom.

What the club was not allowed to do in 1981, they should make up 13 years later. After they had finished the 1993/94 season again as superliders, this time they also prevailed in the subsequent play-offs and won the Mexican football championship for the first and so far only time. The team has impressed in many ways this season. She lost only 4 out of 38 games and received only 26 goals. Her goalkeeper Alan Cruz remained clean in seven consecutive games or 736 minutes.

However, the championship title did not provide the hoped-for future upswing. Since the 1995/96 season, the Tecos have almost regularly only occupied a double-digit position in the overall points evaluation per game year. The sad climax of their sporting downturn was the second half of the season ( Clausura ) of the 2002/03 season, when only one win and four draws came in 19 games.

Finally, it should be pointed out that the Tecos club grounds - as well as their stadium and even the university they represent - are not located in Guadalajara, but in the legally independent suburb of Zapopan, which, however, is seamlessly integrated with Guadalajara and almost the entire west side of the neighboring city. Even in the times of their greater successes, the team always had a manageable following and remained clearly in the shadow of the two much more popular neighboring clubs Atlas and Chivas Guadalajara .

After the club the rise finals of the 2013/14 season against city rivals Leones Negros had lost that sparked Grupo Pachuca , owner of CF Pachuca and other football clubs , the professional division of the club and transferred its second division license for the 2014/15 season to a newly created Franchise called Mineros de Zacatecas .

Today's Tecos play (2015/16) in the fourth-class Tercera División .
