Delfines de Coatzacoalcos

Delfines de Coatzacoalcos is a football club from the city of Coatzacoalcos in the Mexican state of Veracruz .

history

The club was founded in 1997 and received at the beginning of the 1997/98 season a starting place in the third-class Segunda División .

After six years of membership in the Segunda División, the Delfines won the championship in the Clausura 2003 and in the subsequent season finale against Deportivo Tepic , the winner of the Apertura 2002, the promotion to the second-rate Primera División 'A' .

In a total of six (half-yearly) competitions of the three seasons in which the Delfines were represented in the second Mexican football league , they reached the Liguillas twice . For the first time they achieved this already at their first participation in the Apertura 2003, when she in the quarter-finals after two draws (0: 0 and 1: 1) only because of the league fewer points scored (34 versus 36) at Celaya FC failed . Their most successful season was the Clausura 2005 (second half of the 2004/05 season), when they were able to advance to the semi-finals , where they were defeated 0-0 and 1-3 against the traditional club León AC .

In the 2005/06 season his B team, playing in the Segunda Division, won the Apertura 2005 championship title. Although the season finale was lost against Pegaso Anáhuac, the 2006 winner of the Clausura, “Delfines B” also received the right to promotion to the second division.

That the Delfines de Coatzacoalcos were not represented at all in the Primera A in the coming 2006/07 season has other reasons. Because the Mexican Football Association had decided before the season that every first division team had to maintain a branch team in the second division, the license of the Delfines B was sold to the Pumas de la UNAM , which needed them for a starting place for their newly founded branch team Pumas Morelos . At the same time the license of the first team (Delfines A) was sold to the Tiburones Rojos Veracruz , who formed the Tiburones Rojos Coatzacoalcos from this . The Delfines de Coatzacoalcos then retired to the fourth-class Tercera División .

For the 2013/14 season a team started again in the Segunda División, which asserted itself very successfully in the league and won the second round championship of the Liga de Ascenso in the Clausura 2014 and then the season finale against Linces de Tlaxcala , the first round champion of the Apertura 2013. Thus, the club was entitled to promotion to the second division , but waived due to the economic risk.
