Team history of blue cross

Blue Cross is an amateur team established by concrete manufacturers Cemento Cruz Azul and Macario Acosta in Jasso Town, Hidalgo Province on May 22nd. 1927. Cemento Cruz Azul still sponsors the team, although the main sponsors of the team are Coca Cola Company and Telcel Communication Company.

Guillermo Alvarez macias and Carlos garces are symbolic stars who represented Hidalgo province in the early national amateur league.

From 1927 to 1960, amateur teams such as Neccasa, Atlantean, Aguilitas, Asturias and Marte set up professional teams in Mexico City. In order to achieve greater success, the concrete company (renamed Cooperativa Cruz Azul at that time) decided to build a stadium in Jasso town of 1960, and named it 65438+February 10 stadium, and registered with the government to participate in the professional second-class league.

1964, under the leadership of Hungarian coach Jorge Maric, the team won the second-division championship and qualified for the highest-level first-division next season. The team's first Serie A season ended in eighth place, and their expectations for the future became higher. Only four years later, under the leadership of meritorious coach raul cardenas, this team won the first first-class championship.

Blue Cross became the most successful club in Mexico in 1970s, and won six league titles during the period of 1970- 1980, four of which were led by raul cardenas, and the last two were ignacio Treles. This strength earned them a nickname "La Maquina", which has always been the nickname of the team.
