The name UAT Correcaminos - or Correcaminos de la UAT - refers to the professional football department of the Universidad Autónoma de Tamaulipas in Ciudad Victoria in the state of Tamaulipas in Mexico , which was established in 1980 . The Spanish name correcaminos denotes a species of bird of the genus Geococcyx that occurs only in the northern part of America and which bears the English name roadrunner . One of the club's arch-rivals is Tampico-Madero FC , against whom Clásico Tamaulipeco will be contested.
history
The original Correcaminos were founded in Tampico in the early 1970s and played in the second division from 1974 to 1977 . In 1980 they were revived in Ciudad Victoria and initially started in the third division before returning to the second division in 1983.
The university football team achieved their first major success in the 1985/86 season when they were runner-up in the second division. However, the rise was reserved for the master Cobras Querétaro .
In the following season, the Correcaminos made it better and won the second division championship - and thus promotion to the Primera División , the top division in Mexican football. Actually, the “first division adventure” would have ended after a year because the Correcaminos found themselves on a relegation zone at the end of the 1987/88 season. But because another first division club, Deportivo Neza , was in financial difficulties, the Correcaminos managed to take over their license and thus remain in the top division.
With this deal, the Correcaminos were able to hold onto the first division until the 1994/95 season. However, they only managed to qualify for the play-offs once. That was in the 1989/90 season, when the team failed in the quarterfinals with an aggregate result of 4: 4 against Puebla FC because the club had scored more points (46) than the Correcaminos (40) in the main round.
Since relegation in the summer of 1995, the club has belonged to the second-rate Primera División 'A' (since 2009/10 Liga de Ascenso ). The club only wrote first division history in negative terms: before relegation, they had been without a win in 54 consecutive away games and thus set a new - and to this day unreached - record. After all, this negative series covers a period of almost three years!
