The Club Deportivo de Fútbol Irapuato is a Mexican football club that was founded in 1911. In this respect, it is the oldest club from the state of Guanajuato that was ever represented in the Primera División .
history
After the hiatus caused by the revolution, football in Guanajuato did not start to get going again until 1924. A city championship was held for the first time in Irapuato in 1928, and its first winner was in Deportivo Irapuato.
In the summer of 1954, he was promoted to the Primera División, to which the team known as "Trinca Fresera" (strawberry triad) belonged for 18 years without interruption until relegation in the summer of 1972. Later he returned to the top division three times: initially for several years between 1985/86 and 1990/91. Then for two short guest appearances in 2000 and 2001 as well as in the 2003/04 season.
While the relegation in 1972 and 1991 had sporting reasons, the loss of membership in the first division in the new millennium was of an economic nature. At the end of 2001, Irapuato was transferred to the CD Veracruz , which had failed in the promotion games at the end of the 2000/01 season against the CF Atlante .
After Irapuato had suspended in the second half of the 2001/02 season, the club acquired the second division license from Querétaro FC (which in turn had acquired the first division license from CF La Piedad ) in the summer of 2002 and immediately won the second division championship (in the final against the old rival, of all places León ) and rose again to the top division. Because the majority of club bosses had decided to reduce the Primera División from 20 to 18 teams at the end of the 2003/04 season , the newcomers CD Irapuato and Querétaro FC became Gallos Blancos (the club that bought its first division license two years earlier and its second division license to Irapuato had passed) unloaded. After Irapuato had to digest this shock by suspending the 2004/05 season , the club acquired eligibility to play in the second-rate Primera División 'A' from Mérida FC in summer 2005 , but found themselves a year later for two seasons (2006 / 07 and 2007/08) in the third-class Segunda División (Grupo Bajío) again. Only the purchase of the right to play from the Pachuca Juniors , who had just been promoted to the second division, brought the club back to the Primera División 'A' in 2008/09. There Irapuato caused a sensation in his first round, the Apertura 2008, when they were able to advance in the play-offs to the final, where they only failed against the later promoted Querétaro FC.
