Pachuca

CF Pachuca carry a history unlike any other club in the Americas. Founded in 1892 by Cornish and English miners working the silver mines of Hidalgo state, they are the oldest football club in Mexico and the team credited with introducing the sport to the country. Nicknamed Los Tuzos, they have built on that unique heritage to become one of Mexico's most successful clubs, winning 7 Liga MX titles, 6 CONCACAF Champions Cup trophies, and the 2006 Copa Sudamericana.

Founded in 1892, Pachuca are based in the city of Pachuca de Soto, Hidalgo, Mexico, and compete in Liga MX. They play their home matches at Estadio Hidalgo, which holds around 25,900 spectators. Major honours include 7 Liga MX titles, 6 CONCACAF Champions Cup titles, and the 2006 Copa Sudamericana. The club are nicknamed Los Tuzos. Their home colours are blue and white stripes, a nod to the English founders who first introduced football to Mexico.

The blue and white striped shirt of Pachuca carries a unique resonance: those colours were introduced by the English and Cornish miners who founded the club in 1892, making this one of the most historically loaded strips in world football. The stripes have remained a constant through the decades, even as manufacturers and designs have evolved. The kits worn during the club's golden era of CONCACAF Champions Cup dominance in the 2000s are particularly cherished by supporters of Los Tuzos, worn as the club established themselves as the top team in North and Central American football.
