The Tampico-Madero Fútbol Club is a Mexican football club that - at the time still known as Club Deportivo Tampico - was accepted into the Primera División , the top division of Mexican club football, in 1945/46 together with the CF Monterrey and Club San Sebastián de León after the FMF decided to expand the then still young professional league from 13 to 16 teams. One of the club's arch rivals are the UAT Correcaminos , against whom the Clásico Tamaulipeco is contested.
prehistory
In November 1911, some English people who had previously lived in Mexico City and played for the Reforma Athletic Club came to Tampico for professional reasons to work at the Cia. Petrolera "El Aguila" to work. Together with some workers from the oil refinery , they founded the city's first football club and named it British Club ; based on the capital club of the same name , which was founded in 1902 by the football pioneer Percy Clifford and had won the championship in 1908 . When many of its members were drafted into the British Army as a result of the fighting during the First World War , the team fell apart and disappeared around 1915.
Around the same time, the numerically large Spanish community in Tampico emerged in early 1915, the CD Español de Tampico , which soon became the Club España de Tampico based on an agreement between the Spanish communities of Mexico . When Club México , consisting almost entirely of Mexicans, was founded in 1917 , the foundation stone was laid for a serious rivalry that lasted for decades.
In 1942 the best players of both teams united in the Selección de Tamaulipas ; in name a selection team from the state of Tamaulipas , but de facto a compilation of the two leading clubs Tampico for the purpose of comparison with other teams. The Selección de Tamaulipas formed the basis of the CD Tampico founded with effect from March 15, 1945, which was prepared for the professional league.
history
His first game in the Primera División (1945/46 season) played the CD Tampico against the upcoming runner-up Atlante (final score 3:10) with the following team: Raúl "Tarzán" Landeros - Escamilla, Cuétara - Teodolindo Mourín, Olivares, Juan José Sosa - Fidel Menéndez, Ernesto Candia , Azuara, Cardín, Pego. The first coach was "Noi" José Castro. After the clear opening defeat in the old Campo España , more players were signed and the construction of the stadium, which was officially opened on August 1, 1946, was pushed ahead.
In their first season the Celestes lost twice as many games (18) as they won (9) and ended up in 13th place at the end of the season. In the following two seasons Tampico occupied a place in the middle of the table before at the end of the 1948/49 season with the last place a low point was reached, which led to a radical change. For the rebuilding, the former coach "Noi" Castro was brought back and at the end of the 1949/50 season Tampico was at least tenth. In the two following seasons, too, the rebuilding progressed continuously and ended first (1950/51) with a ninth and then (1951/52) with a sixth place. With the purchases made before the 1952/53 season, those responsible obviously did everything right; because the newly formed team won (for the first and only time in the history of Fútbol Tampiqueño ) both the championship and the Supercup .
One of the outstanding newcomers before the championship season was "Chango" Zárate , who moved to Marte immediately after winning the title and won the title again with this team, while Tampico ended the 1953/54 season in fourth place. After further departures, the Celestes landed in seventh (1954/55) and sixth (1955/56) place in the following two years. The relapse into mediocrity was reason enough for those responsible to part with Joaquín Urquiaga , the coach of the 1953 championship team. But his expulsion turned out to be counterproductive because the team fell to tenth place the following year and two years later (1957/58) occupied last place in the table and thus (for the first time in the club's history) relegated to the Segunda Division.
Tampico then broke all records in the second division: under coach Béla Kállói 28 of 32 games were won and only one lost. The same dominance expressed the goal difference of 117:31, in which the striker Antonio Pérsico , who was committed before the start of the 1958/59 season, had a significant share with 44 hits.
After the immediate resurgence, the management signed the strikers Roberto Rolando and Ricardo Bonelli , who together with Pérsico formed a first-class storm line and gave the promoted seventh place. With 22 goals, Rolando was even the top scorer in the Primera División 1959/60. In the 1960/61 season, seventh place was defended and (for the first and only time in the club's history) the Copa México was won. After an eighth place in the 1961/62 season, however, the decline could no longer be stopped. For the second time after 1958, the team took last place in the final table 1962/63 and was relegated again.
After that, the neighboring CF Madero took over local supremacy and brought four years of first division football to the region between 1965 and 1975, something that CD Tampico would not succeed again until 1977. But the return to the first division owed the CD Tampico not to his sporting achievements, but to his sponsors, who acquired the first division license of the financially troubled Club San Luis for the club .
When the club itself had financial problems in 1982 that resulted in relegation, it was taken over by the oil workers' union and converted into Tampico-Madero FC. The new name was chosen to create a means of identification for the residents of the neighboring Ciudad Madero. In the attempt to increase its popularity, it was also advantageous that the Estadio Tamaulipas is halfway between the two neighboring cities. The new donors were also lucky due to the fact that they were able to take over the first division license of the Atletas Campesinos from Querétaro and the converted club escaped relegation in this way.
Tampico-Madero FC experienced its most successful season in the year before the 1986 World Cup , when the FMF converted normal league operations into two shorter tournaments on the occasion of the upcoming major event: the Prode 85 and Mexico 86. The Tampico club reached the finals in both tournaments.
With only one point ahead of the relegated Atlante , the club reached the safe shore in 1990, but had to sell its license to Querétaro FC due to the lack of support from the oil workers' union . The return to the top division was then only possible for the 1994/95 season.
With the exception of the 2001/02 seasons and from 2005/06 to 2008/09, when the club was represented at least in the second-rate Primera División 'A' , he has only played in the third-rate Segunda Division since then . In the 2000/01 season, he won the championship of the 2000 winter tournament of the Segunda División under his then temporary name Águilas de Tamaulipas .
Tampico-Madero FC has been back in the second division since the 2016/17 season .
