Club de Fútbol Pachuca is a Mexican professional football club based in Pachuca, Hidalgo, that competes in Liga MX. It was founded in 1892 by the "Compañia Real del Monte y Pachuca" (CRDMyP), a Mexican mining company which had mostly British miners workers (Cornish diaspora) from Camborne and Redruth, 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]
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, the 2006 Copa Sudamericana and the 2007 North American SuperLiga. In 2006, Pachuca was the first and is the only club from Mexico and CONCACAF to win an exclusive CONMEBOL competition, and is currently the only club in the world to win an official continental club tournament in a confederation outside its own.
