The Club Deportivo Oro is a Mexican football club in 1923 by some jewelers in town district Oblatos in the second largest Mexican city of Guadalajara was founded.

history

Oro was included in the second year of the professional league ( 1944/45 ) and played there until the sporting descent of the 1979/80 season.

The association traded as "Oro" (gold) from its inception until it ran into serious financial difficulties in 1970 and was taken over by some local sugar manufacturers. They renamed the club to Club Social y Deportivo Jalisco (name of the state whose capital is Guadalajara) and decided on a rooster as a mascot . With the (futile) goal of making the club appear closer to the people and thereby giving it greater popularity, it received the addition of Club del Pueblo in 1976 . The two terms were later merged and the association has been operating as Oro Jalisco or Oro de Jalisco since then .

In the early 1960s, Club Deportivo Guadalajara (more) and Oro (less) dominated the Mexican league, making three champions and runners-up among themselves. Chivas was twice ahead ( 1961 and 1965 ), but once Oro was able to prevail and record the only championship title in the club's history: before the last matchday of the 1962/63 season , Oro was one point behind the then overpowering city rivals and series champions in second Place. On the last day of the match, these two teams met and Oro won this game - and thus the championship - with a goal from Brazilian Neco in the 87th minute.

Since relegating in 1980, Oro de Jalisco has not been top notch. In 1984 the team reached the finals in the second division and was subject to the CD Zacatepec , which then rose to the first division. The CD Oro de Jalisco remained from then on in the second division and gradually slipped deeper and deeper. After the division of the Mexican Segunda División in 2008, Oro de Jalisco plays in the newly established third-class Liga de Nuevos Talentos de la Segunda División .
