Club Deportivo Texcoco
The Club Deportivo Texcoco was a Mexican football club based in the city of Texcoco in the state of México . The club was originally founded as Club Oviedo in Mexico City and had several relocations behind it until it settled in Texcoco in 1959.
history
Club Oviedo was founded in 1940 by the former soccer player José Sánchez "El Peque", who played for CF Asturias during his playing days . World-famous players like Antonio Carbajal and Raúl Cárdenas soon emerged from the youth division of the still young club .
"El Peque" Sánchez had the ambitious goal of leading the Club Oviedo into the Segunda División , which was introduced in 1950/51 , and was finally accepted to participate in the 1953/54 season. Because there were already enough first division clubs in Mexico City and a club playing in the second division would inevitably have played in front of empty ranks, Sánchez decided to move to Pachuca , the capital of the state of Hidalgo . After all, Pachuca is considered to be the cradle of Mexican football , because Pachuca AC, the oldest pure football club in the country, was founded here in 1901. The main reason for this change of location was the fact that his legal successor CF Pachuca had withdrawn his team from the league in 1952 (after only two seasons in the Segunda División). To the disappointment of Club Oviedo, the municipality of Pachuca did not give the club any support and it was largely ignored by the public. Therefore Oviedo withdrew after just one season from Pachuca, did not take part in the league's game operations in the following season 1954/55 and finally found a new home in the town of Tlalnepantla . In their new home, the team acted in the next four seasons of the Segunda División between 1955/56 and 1958/59.
In the long run, Sánchez and his supporters could not finance the association. Those in charge were therefore forced to transfer the association to the Gómez Garcia family, shareholders of the Gómez Lavin glass factory, during the 1958/59 season .
José Luis Gómez Garcia became the new president of the club and brought him to Texcoco, where he temporarily took up his original name Oviedo, but was soon renamed Club Deportivo Texcoco. José Luis Gómez Garcia died only a few months after taking office in a tragic accident, so that the presidency was transferred to his brother Miguel Gómez Garcia.
In the 1964/65 season, the club appeared under the name Chapingo Texcoco , but received its previous name again after one season.
The club played permanently in the Segunda División until 1968/69, before it was probably dissolved at some point.
Later football clubs in Texcoco
The represented from 1982 to 1985 in the Segunda División team from Texcoco was not essentially related to the former CD Texcoco, but was created by the relocation of the previously in Toluca -based Osos Grises . About another move to the municipality of Atlacomulco , where the team was based in 1985/86, they came back to Texcoco in 1986, where they represented in the two following seasons (1986/87 and 1987/88) as Toros de Texcoco in the Segunda División was. It was not until 1997 that the Club de Fútbol Texcoco was founded, which currently plays in the fourth-class Tercera División .
