Club de Fútbol Pachuca is a Mexican professional football club based in Pachuca, Hidalgo, that plays in Liga MX, the top division of Mexican football. Founded in 1892 as Pachuca Football Club, then changed its name to Pachuca Athletic Club in 1895, and was refounded in 1960 under its current name. The club was founded by workers of the Mexican mining company called "Compañia Real del Monte y Pachuca", which had mostly British miners immigrants from Camborne and Redruth (Cornish diaspora), who were the first to introduce football to Mexico. Nicknamed "Tuzos", it pays tribute and refers to the history and mining heritage of the club and the city of Pachuca. It was the first football club founded in Mexico, and was one of the founding members of the Liga Mexicana de Football Amateur Association,[2] which was the first amateur football league created in Mexico.
After several seasons participating between the second and first division, Pachuca was last promoted to the Primera División de México in 1998. Since then, it has been one of the most successful clubs in Mexico, winning 7 Liga MX titles, 6 CONCACAF Champions Cup titles, the 2006 Copa Sudamericana, the 2007 North American SuperLiga, and 1 FIFA Derby of the Americas and 1 FIFA Challenger Cup of the FIFA Intercontinental Cup.
