The Club Aurrerá was a Mexican football club from Mexico City , which participated in the six seasons between 1923/24 and 1928/29 in the capital league and with fourth place in its first season 1923/24 had already achieved its best result.
The club took its name from the factory of the same name, on which there was also a sports field. Football-loving factory workers have been chasing the round leather on this since around 1918. From this bustle a football club emerged in 1919, the team of which consisted mostly of Basques who worked in the factory run by the Goyarzu brothers. In 1924 Percy Clifford, perhaps the most important soccer pioneer in Mexico, was hired as a coach.
Shortly before the club was dissolved at the beginning of the 1930s, Luis de la Fuente temporarily played one of the greatest talents in Mexican football in the ranks of Aurrerá.
