history
Copa Tower (1907 / 08–1920 / 21)
The first cup tournament in Mexico was held in the 1907/08 season under the name Copa Tower . The first phase of the Mexican club cup was named after the British ambassador Reginald Thomas Tower (1860-1939), who came to Mexico in 1907 and donated the cup in the same year. At that time, only teams from the greater Mexico City area were eligible to participate - and so with the exception of the two-time winner Pachuca AC, all other winners came from the Mexican capital.
