Club San Sebastian de León

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Club San Sebastian de León was a Mexican football club , which was founded 1944th The club's name refers to the ancient name of the city of León , which it had at the time when the entire region was still called Nueva España . With reference to the "Saint Sebastian", the nickname of the association arose: Santos (the saints).

San Sebastian was added in 1945 as the second club of the city of León in the Primera División , the top division in Mexico, after the league had been increased from 13 to 16 teams. The neighboring Club León had already been involved in the same for a year . After the nationwide second division had been introduced in 1950/51, there was one promoted to the first division and one relegated to the second division from the summer of 1951. In that year - as in the year before, when this was still without consequences - San Sebastian was in last place and was thus the first team to leave the first division for sporting reasons. Until then, there had only been other types of retreat. Although the club was twice runner-up in the coming years, the promotion to the top division was reserved for the respective champions (1952 La Piedad , 1954 Irapuato ). For San Sebastian this was the beginning of the end.
