CF Torreón
The Club de Fútbol Torreón was a Mexican football club from the city of Torreón in the state of Coahuila . The club was founded in 1959 as Club Campesino Cataluña and renamed CF Torreón (Tower) in 1963 . The tower was chosen as the coat of arms, which gave the city its name and which was built both to observe the amount of water of the nearby Nazas river and to protect against the attacks of the indigenous people, which were still common at the time.
One year after his then city rival CF Laguna , in the summer of 1969, under the Peruvian coach Grimaldo González , CF Torreón also made it to the Primera División , the top division of Mexican club football. In the five common first division years, both teams from Torreón moved regularly in the lower table region. The CF Torreón managed three times better placement, so that he only had to give CF Laguna a higher place in the table twice. The CF Torreón finished all seasons between 13th and 16th place. The club celebrated its greatest sporting success with the entry into the cup final in 1970, which was lost to Chivas Guadalajara .
Because of their completely white clothing, the team of the CF Torreón was called Palomas (pigeons) and later Diablos Blancos (white devils) in their early days . In the summer of 1974 the CF Torreón was dissolved and its first division license was sold to the UdeG Cachorros .
