Tigres FC , previously Expreso Rojo , is a Colombian football club founded in 2000, currently based in Bogotá and currently playing in the Primera B category. The club has been operating under the new name since 2016.
history
In 2003 the club played for the first time in the Categoría Primera B and played its home games in Cartagena . Two years later the club moved to Sincelejo , but returned to Cartagena in 2006.
Expreso Rojo has been playing in Cundinamarca since 2007 , first in Fusagasugá , then from 2009 in Zipaquirá and from 2011 again in Fusagasugá and then in Soacha . In 2013 the club moved to Facatativá and in 2014 to Girardot . In the 2014 season, Expreso Rojo clearly missed reaching the final round in both half-series. In the 2015 season, the club moved back to Zipaquirá. In the 2016 season, the club changed its name to Tigres FC, but initially stayed in Zipaquirá. At the beginning of the season, however, Soacha was the new venue for the home games.
The greatest success in the club's history was for a long time reaching the semi-finals of the Copa Colombia 2008, in which Expreso Rojo was eliminated against the first division club Once Caldas .
After the renaming, Tigres FC played the best season in the club's history in 2016 and initially moved into the final round in sixth place. There the club was able to prevail in a group with Deportivo Pereira , Leones FC and Bogotá FC and thus rose for the first time in the first Colombian league . In the final against América de Cali Tigres lost and was runner-up. Because of the promotion, the club moved to Bogotá .
In the first half series in the first division Tigres FC found themselves at the bottom of the table and finished the league phase in 18th place. The second half-series went better, but Tigres FC could not prevent the direct relegation to the second division. Even after relegation, Tigres continues to play in Bogotá. In the 2018 season, Tigres FC failed to make it into the final round in eleventh place and thus also made it back up. After the season, the contract with the coach Jhon Jairo Bodmer was dissolved. As his successor, Diego Díaz became the new coach.
In the Apertura 2019 , Tigres missed the finals in tenth place.
Stadion
Tigres FC plays its home games at the Estadio Metropolitano de Techo in Bogotá . Before the rise, the club used the Estadio Luis Carlos Galán Sarmiento in Soacha as their home stadium. Before that, the club played as Expreso Rojo in the Estadio Municipal Los Zipas in Zipaquirá , the Estadio Luis Antonio Duque in Girardot , the Estadio Jorge Torres Rocha in Facatativá , the Estadio Fernando Mazuera in Fusagasugá , the Estadio Jaime Morón León in Cartagena and the Estadio Arturo Cumplido Sierra in Sincelejo .
