The Venados Fútbol Club , until 2015 Mérida Fútbol Club , is a Mexican football club based in Mérida , the capital of the state of Yucatán .
history
After the financially-related dissolution of the financially collapsed CD Atlético Yucatán , which had at least reached the promotion games to the Primera División in 1989 and 1999 , Mérida was without a professional football club. This unsatisfactory situation called the brothers Arturo and Mauricio Millet Reyes on the scene. Immediately after the bankruptcy of Atlético Yucatán, the entrepreneurs brought the team from Nacional Tijuana to Mérida to form the Venados del Mérida Fútbol Club as the legitimate successor to the missing Atlético Venados de Yucatán. It was founded in 2003.
The Mérida FC completed the seasons 2003/04 and 2004/05 in the Primera División 'A' , but also got into financial difficulties and sold its second division license for the 2005/06 season to the CD Irapuato . The club itself was retained and played from then on in the Primera Fuerza de Yucatán, a local amateur league.
Since the 2008/09 season, the club has been playing in the second division again. The return to professional football was made possible by a cooperation agreement with Club Monarcas Morelia , which moved its B-Team to Mérida, where it now operates under the name Mérida FC as a branch team of Monarcas. The club won the Clausura in 2009 and only narrowly failed in the promotion games to the first division against the winners of the Apertura 2008. After a 2-1 defeat at Querétaro FC , Mérida won the second leg 1-0 on their own pitch, but lost the subsequent penalty shoot-out with 4: 5. Thus in 2009 the third attempt after 1989 and 1999 to bring first division football to the state of Yucatán failed.
