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 finally changed to its current name in 1960. 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 "Los 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 and the 2007 North American SuperLiga. Pachuca was the first and is the only club from Mexico and CONCACAF to win an exclusive South American competition organized by CONMEBOL, and is currently the only club in the world to win an official continental club tournament in a confederation outside its own.
