Tapachula Soconusco Fútbol Club is a Mexican professional football club based in Tapachula, Chiapas, that plays in the Liga Premier, the third level division of Mexican football.

History

[edit | edit source]

The team was founded on October 26, 2023, with the objective of giving a professional soccer team to the city of Tapachula, Chiapas, after five years without a representative team, this after the relocation of Cafetaleros de Tapachula to Tuxtla Gutiérrez in 2019.[2] The team's founding occurred midway through the 2023–24 season, so Tapachula Socunusco was only able to participate in amateur soccer tournaments, winning a championship known as the Liga Sureste MX in June 2024.[3] During the fall of 2023, the team announced that it would participate in the Tercera División de México starting with the 2024–25 season, which would represent the club's debut in the professional categories of Mexican football.[4]

In June 2024, the club obtained a franchise to participate in the Liga PremierSerie A, the third level of Mexican football, starting with the 2024–25 season.[5] On June 28, the team was confirmed as a participating team in that league, being placed in group 3, so Tapachula Soconusco F.C. would have a main team in the Segunda División de México and a secondary squad in the Tercera División de México.[6]

Stadium
