history
Querétaro
The club was founded with the aim of accommodating former players of the Televisa Club América and enabling young talents to play. This illustrious troupe was able to celebrate promotion to the Primera División , the top division of Mexican club football , straight away . In the play-offs, they beat the traditional club CF Pachuca 2-0 and 1-1.
Because in the 1985/86 season before the 1986 World Cup held in their own country, the normal league routine of the Primera División was replaced by two special tournaments held every six months, there was no relegation at the end of the season, but with the Cobras a climber. In order to reduce the Primera División, which had grown to 21 teams in the 1986/87 season, to 20 clubs again for the following season, two teams had to relegate in the summer of 1987. In addition to the Cobras, who were last in the overall annual standings, it also hit the penultimate León . Ironically, these two teams faced each other in the promotion games in the summer of 1988, where the Cobras were able to prevail 1-0 in the third and decisive game.
Ciudad Juarez
But the Cobras were no longer at home in Querétaro . Immediately after relegation in the summer of 1987, the club was shipped to Ciudad Juárez in the state of Chihuahua , where it has since appeared under the name Cobras Ciudad Juárez and brought Mexican top division football to the border for the first time in the next four years. In the last season of the first division in 1991/92, they may have concentrated more on the domestic cup competition than on the championship. Because while the Cobras were able to advance to the cup final (which were then lost 4-2 to CF Monterrey ), they could only win five of 38 games in the league and were relegated to the second division with only 20 points.
The (provisional) end of the association came in the summer of 2005. Because following a new fad in Mexico, the Cobras Ciudad Juárez became the Tigres Los Mochis , while at the same time the Pachuca Juniors became the Indios Ciudad Juárez , who have since represented the city in the Primera División 'A' , the country's second division .
