Tlaxcala Fútbol Club, simplified as Tlaxcala FC, and also known as Coyotes de Tlaxcala, is a Mexican professional football club based in Tlaxcala. It competes in Liga de Expansión MX, the second level division of Mexican football, and plays its home matches at the Estadio Tlahuicole. Founded in 2014, after the merger of the Club Águilas Reales de Zacatecas and a reserve team of Pachuca in the Tercera División (current Liga TDP).
Tlaxcala won automatic promotion to the Ascenso MX in the 2016–17 season, but their promotion was put on hold until the 2018–19 season as their stadium failed to meet league requirements.[2] However, in 2020 the club was invited to the Liga de Expansión, the new second-level league and thus promoted category.
History
[edit | edit source]The club was founded on 5 September 2014, after the merger of the Club Águilas Reales de Zacatecas and the reserve team of CF Pachuca in the Tercera División, the Zacatecan team gave up their rights to participate in the Segunda División while Pachuca contributed the sports part of the organization.[3] Previously in Summer 2014, Tlaxcala City had been left without football due to the move of Linces de Tlaxcala to Acapulco, where the team was renamed as Internacional de Acapulco, while Águilas Reales de Zacatecas became a secondary team due to the arrival of Mineros de Zacatecas, a team that shared ownership with Tlaxcala F.C. until 2020.
Tlaxcala won automatic promotion to Ascenso MX after winning the two season tournaments against Irapuato during the 2016–17 season, but their promotion was put on hold until before the 2018–19 season as their stadium failed to meet league requirements. They played in Serie B for 2017–18 season so they can met requirements to play in Ascenso MX but their spot was revoked after the stadium was not completed at the deadline to meet the requirements, so they moved to Serie A for 2018–19 season. In 2018–19 season, the team played as local at Unidad Deportiva Próspero Cahuantzi at Chiautempan, for 2019–20, they moved to the Unidad Deportiva José Brindis in Nanacamilpa awaiting the end of the construction works of the Estadio Tlahuicole.
In July 2020, Tlaxcala F.C. was invited to the new Liga de Expansión MX, which became the second category of Mexican football instead of the Ascenso MX, with this the team occupied its place in the division after three years of having achieved sports promotion.[4] On 19 August 2020, the club debuted in the Liga de Expansión, defeating Mineros de Zacatecas 1–2.[5] On 2 September, Tlaxcala received Celaya F.C. in its first home game, which had to be played in Nanacamilpa because the Tlahuicole Stadium was not yet ready to host professional football matches,[6] finally, on 15 September, Tlaxcala was able to return to its stadium in the match against Leones Negros UdeG, which was won by the Guadalajara team.
