history

The Club de Fútbol Tigrillos de la UANL was founded in 1991 and started in the fourth-class Tercera División , which the still young club won in its third year of participation, which in the summer of 1994 succeeded in advancing to the third-class Segunda Division . Two years later, the Tigrillos also won this league and rose in the summer of 1996 to the second-rate Primera División 'A' , to which the parent club UANL Tigres had been forcibly transferred due to a corruption scandal . Thus, both the first and the second team of the Tigres from the Universidad Autónoma de Nuevo León played in the second division in the 1996/97 season . This fact prompted the young club to rename it for the first time. In order to differentiate itself even more from the parent association in terms of its name, the term "Autonóma" was deleted. In the derbies against the parent club, which won both the first half of the season and the second half of the season 1996/97 and thus managed to get promoted back to the first division , the Tigrillos fought bravely and lost only 1: 2 in the first leg and achieved in Second leg a 1: 1.

Until 1999, the Tigrillos continued to play under their new name in San Nicolás de los Garza and achieved their greatest success by winning the second division championship in the 1998 summer tournament . In 1999, the Tigres offshoot moved to the US border town of Ciudad Juárez , located in the state of Chihuahua , and was renamed Tigres Juárez . There the team achieved their greatest successes with a two-time quarter-finals in the fight for the championship in the second division.

In the summer of 2001 another move to Saltillo in the state of Coahuila took place , where the team appeared under the name Tigrillos Saltillo until 2003 and took over the local Saltillo Soccer club via a license swap . At this venue, the team achieved their greatest success by reaching the finals in the 2002 summer tournament , which was only lost on penalties against Real San Luis after two dramatic encounters (a 4-1 home win and a subsequent 0-3 away defeat) .

In the summer of 2003 the Tigrillos were transferred to Mexico City , where they performed for a year under the name Tigrillos Coapa and at the end of their time there in the Clausura 2004 were group winners, but were already defeated in the quarter-finals against Club León .

Another move took place in the summer of 2004, this time taking the team to Los Mochis in the state of Sinaloa , where they played as Tigres Broncos for three years . At their new venue, the team was only able to qualify for the Liguillas in their first half-season , where they lost two goals in the quarter-finals against the Querétaro Fútbol Club (2: 3 and 2: 2). In the other five tournaments, the Broncos always failed in the group stage.

Another move in the summer of 2007 took the team to the US border town of Reynosa in the state of Tamaulipas , where they finally qualified for the Liguillas again under the new name Tigres B in the Clausura 2008 , where they only reached the quarter-finals this time after two goalless encounters lost due to fewer points scored in the league round against Club Alacranes de Durango .

Their last move in the summer of 2008 brought the team back to their home base in San Nicolás de los Garza, where they played the last season in the history of the Primera División 'A', which was converted to the Liga de Ascenso in the summer of 2009 . Since then, the reserve team of the Tigres has played in the third-class Segunda División again.
