History

Foundation (Light and Power Company, Luz y Fuerza) (1899–1920)

Necaxa was founded August 21, 1923. Its early history began when Englishman William H. Frasser, an engineer and owner of the Light and Power Company (Compañia de Luz y Fuerza ) in the state of Puebla, and in which he decided to found a football team. Frasser, as a student was a devoted football player in the United Kingdom and was a strong advocate for the sport and admired literature. Frasser consolidates the teams of the Light and Power Company and the Street Car operators Compañia de Luz y Fuerza and Tranvías in a whole. Frasser economically supported the newly and merged team with company revenue and funds. In addition, the Light and Power Company offered steady employment to players in an era where half of the players were playing at an amateur level.^[1] However, the Mexican football federation did not allow teams to be named after private companies, the team was decided to change its name to Necaxa, after the river of the same name that was in close proximity to the electrical plant. Historians assert that the colors and Necaxa's crest came from following the arrival of the Cornish community in Mexico,^[2] the Cornish community flourished and stayed in Central Mexico until the Mexican Revolution in 1910. Although the Cornish community in Mexico broadly returned to Cornwall, they left a cultural legacy; Cornish pasties, Cornish mining museums,a Cornish Mexican Cultural Society and of course Football, are all part of the local heritage and tradition in and around Mineral del Monte.^[3] In 1923, it was also decided Necaxa team would field all players regardless of origin and race and nationality.

Necaxa organization and foundation was cemented on its history as "Football as a sport which is inclusive and open to all regardless of origin, race ,social status and nationality".

In that era, the team was called "Los Electricistas" (The Electricians). The team adopted the colors red and white as their primary team colors, earning them the nickname "Los roji-blancos". Also during this period, the oldest rivalry in Mexican football began to form, between Necaxa and Atlante.

On September 14, 1930, having already been a 2-time champion of the amateur Copa Eliminatoria, Necaxa inaugurated its stadium named Parque Necaxa, located on the banks of La Piedad River on land donated by the Frasser Family. The stadium had a maximum capacity for 15,000 fans, and was known for its memorable clock tower displaying the team's emblem.

Necaxa, in the early days of Mexican Football were members of the Mexican League Amateur Football Association Liga Mexicana de Fútbol Amateur Association, composed of Atlante, Club España, Germania FV, and seasoned and disciplined team Asturias F.C.. Necaxa won championships during the 1932-33, 1934–35, 1936–37, 1937-38. seasons.^[4]

The following season after the stadium's opening, iconic players such as Hilario López and Luis Pérez contributed to the team's success, leading Necaxa all the way to the League final against Atlante, losing 3-2.

But Necaxa would rebound the next season, smashing Atlante by a scandalous 9-0 score. The line-up Necaxa used on that day was the following:

Mexico José Ruíz Raul Chávez Garfias Conception Pérez Marures Luis "Pichojos" Pérez Roberto Jardón

Foreign Julio Lorez A.Lonergan Alfred Crowle

During this decade, Necaxa became one of the most popular teams in Mexico. Under the direction of the Ernst Pauler, Necaxa, in one season of play (1935–36), the team dominated and won unforgettable titles. Titles ranging from Champion of Champions, Champion of the Liga Mayor De La Ciudad, National Champion of League, National Champion and Central American Champions. Their last title, The Central American Championship in El Salvador, where, according to History, it was the first incident were a club masquerade itself as the national team and won all of their matches and winning and propelling Mexico Futbol into the international spotlight with in the region.

Paco Martinez de la Vega, an aficionado, would coin the surname for the very first time" Campeonismo" or "Championshipism" in which Necaxa's would later use to justify their achievements and titles.^[1]

Late 1930s: Once Hermanos

Following the aftermath and effects of the Mexican Revolution, The late 1930s represented Necaxa's most successful all Mexican team. The Once Hermanos or "Eleven Brothers" period was coined by many in that era due to that team's ability of working and playing as a team, great communication on the field and the ability to execute perfectly on the field during competition play. This team was composed of many talented individuals. This Necaxa team,by 1936, wins the Copa Mexico And in that same year, the emergence of a talented individual gained popularity within Necaxa's benches and competitive play. Even though he was not one of the original "once hermano" or "eleventh brother" Horacio Casarìn, was a great player in the Mexican league national ranks, Casarin great ability and qualities as a striker, propelled him to succeed and excel on the field, his success even took him to the big screen in Mexican Cinema.^[1]

1940s brief hiatus

Necaxa disappears from competitive play with in the Mexican League in 1943^[6] altogether due to the professionalization of Mexican Football. As new ownership and new heirs of the team attempt to take the team in a new direction, stating its famous phrase "the competitive spirit of Club Necaxa is not reasonable with the Commercialization of Football". it would be half a decade were the Necaxa emblem and uniform would be represented on the field again.^[1]

1950-60s resurgence

Seven years later, Club Necaxa returns to competitive play under the conditions of the commercialization of the Mexican league. Under the new ownership of the Union of Electricians and Juan Jose Rivas Rojas, Club Necaxa plays their first game on September 25, 1950 in the old district of Oblatos, in a stadium called Parque Oblatos or "Oblatos Stadium" otherwise called the Municipal Stadium of Felipe Martinez Sandoval in Guadalajara, Mexico. This park inaugurated Necaxa's comeback to the Football which would lodge them in the heart of Guadalajara, counting on great facilities for the time which became the great grand stage of Jalisco, Mexico. Necaxa won many supporters in Jalisco at this time. In the fifties, Necaxa were tenants and played in the Federal District of Mexico City in present day Estadio Azul (1950–1955).

In the late sixties, Necaxa, becomes a handful of new tenants, plays football in Estadio Azteca in Mexico City. A modern illumination system in Estadio Azetca was inaugurated on June 5, 1966 with the first night game between Valencia C.F. and Necaxa. The first goal of the game was scored by Honduran José Cardona. In this game Roberto Martínez o Caña Brava scored the first goal made by a Mexican. Estadio Azteca was the largest stadium in Latin America, and the fifth largest stadium in the world. The stadium is the first stadium to host two FIFA World Cup finals, in 1970 and 1986. It is also the home of the "Game of the Century" semi-final match between Italy and Germany at the 1970 FIFA World Cup. The Azteca stadium has also hosted the Summer Olympics, the Panamerican Games. It is also renownedly known throughout North America and South America as the home Home stadium for the Mexico national football team.

Throughout the 1950s Necaxa struggled financially to keep afloat In 1955, large debts obligate Necaxa to sell the majority of its star players. Miguel Ramierz Vazquez a new owner, contracts the services of the Uruguayan coach Donald Ross, who eventually took Guadalajara to a championship 1957, begins a road to stability, yet, not winning championships.

The electricians won the Title cup in 1960 and the following year, in the University Olympic stadium in Brazil, "the electricians" defeated Rey Pele and the talented club and team of the Santos of Brazil in a official match. This was an impressive feat in that era, "Morocho" Dante Juarez assisted in two victorious goals in Necaxa's win over the Santos de Brazil.

Through the early '60s, Necaxa struggles financially until it is sold and new ownership,Julio Orvañanos purchases the team and brings a championship in 1965–1966.^[1]

Mexico 68 and Carlos Albert vs Necaxa

In this decade,the organization was in deep financial trouble, the team poor attendance in Mexico City,due the population unrest and other factors to a precursor to Mexico 68. The late Sixties Club Necaxa experiences issues internally which placed the players, management and ownership in disagreement. In this decade in the late '60s and early '70s, The organization had many internal issues.

The case of Carlos Albert begins with a small group of Veteran soccer players in the spring of 1969. Club Necaxa Veteran players petitioned the organization for better wages and argued that as a team and group, they have always responded to the team's performance. Carlos Albert was the face of the disagreement between the players and management.

Under contract, Albert was placed by Necaxa Management as transferable and was retained with half of his salary, although he asked management to be void his contract in order, to avoid loss of income and to be able to continue playing in the League with another team. Necaxa Management did not accept his request.

The courts failed in favor of Necaxa on Thursday 8 October 1971, and Necaxa was forced to pay 77 thousand pesos to Carlos Albert by the concept of indemnification by his services from 1961. This case motivated several players to request a better treatment and rights of Mexican Soccer players. The Case of Carlos Albert and Necaxa was the first incident an organization and several players organized. Carlos Albert,who had left, set an organized a movement by a labor(Union)collective contract in Mexican Soccer.

Atlético Español 1971 to 1982

On September 19, 1971, Club Necaxa experiences financial trouble and becomes in debt with players and Management. Ownership, in the Federal District of Mexico City, decides to sell the club to a group of Capitalist wealthy businessmen from Spain. The ownership handles the player contracts, disputes and the franchises debt. The new Spaniard ownership successfully restructure contracts and make Club Necaxa financially solvent. The new ownership takes the organization with its already rich history to a new directive in order to attract more fans. This Necaxa plays under the name of the Spanish Athletic Bulls or " Toros del Atlético Español ". The reason for the name change was due to their nationality and ideology in the world of business. In this decade of the seventies,Club Necaxa loses many fans within Mexico city due to the Spaniard ownership decision to change its name and unsuccessful attempts in capturing a championship title. In 1975 the organization would win their first and only international title in the CONCACAF Champions' Cup, they played the final against Transvaal of Suriname defeating them 5-1 in aggregate. In 1973-74 they would reach the final against a strong Cruz Azul. They would play a two legged tie in which the Atlético Español would win the first leg 2-1 but lose the second 3-0, becoming sub champion of the league. Notable players who distinguished themselves in Atlético Español were,the Brazilian striker Carlos Eloir Perucci, Ricardo Brandón, Salvador Plascencia,'Sabanita' Rivera Juan Santillán,and of course Tomás Boy, under the direction of Miguel Marín, 'the Witch' Gutiérrez, Enrique Díaz and 'Chucho' Prado and the Chiliean Prieto.^[7] In 1982, the Spanish ownership within the Federal District of Mexico city decides to sell the Franchise due to several internal issues. A new group of Capitalist Mexican businessmen purchase Necaxa by 1982, then Monopoly telecommunications Giant Grupo Televisa, establish the organization's original name from 1971 and opens its training Facilities in Cuautitlán Izcalli in the state of Mexico.^[8] This ownership in Mexico City rename the Franchise Necaxa by 1982 after the Cultural and historical importance of the Franchise in Mexican Soccer. While the whole country of Mexico experiences a financial crisis called " the Lost Decade " or "La Decada Perdida"^[9] in the 80s' and early '70s, Necaxa in the '80s struggles against two relegation matches. One at the end of the 1982–1983 season against Zacatepec and another by the end of the 1984–1985 season against Leones U de G.

Necaxa (1990–2000)

In 1988, Futbol Club Necaxa is purchased by Capitalist and monopoly Mexican telecommunications giant Grupo Televisa S.A C.V. The now late owner, Emilio Azcárraga Milmo (father of Emilio Azcárraga Jean), and several associates take a new directive in the acquisition of the team. The effort of Management and coaches of football operations showed key and important personnel and financial decisions with respect to the livelihood of the Club in the First Division league or " La Primera A".

In the season of 1989 and 1990, then director of football operations Anibal Ruiz takes on the campaign and renovation of the management decisions in acquiring the services of the then now great Ecuadorian midfielder, Alex Aguinaga, one of the iconic figures of the Necaxa in the 1990s and one of the most talented foreign players, who has ever set foot on Mexican soil.

Necaxa has a great season, previously in the 1980s they battled twice against the First Division's regulations rules of the Mexican League. In that Year Necaxa classified to the finals losing to the well built team of Pumas of the University of Mexico. The following season Aníbal Ruiz was replaced with new coach, the Argentine ex-defender, Eduardo Luján Manera who contracted the services of the Chilean Ivo Basay, who was an instrumental part of the team in the following season. Under Manera, Necaxa didn’t qualify to the finals of the championship, yet, his team did show show a talented offensive line. However, unsatisfied, managements decisions of the team's play, the acquisition of new coach Roberto Marcos Saporitti, marked the beginning of the seriousness of a commitment toward competition excellence a period known to Necaxa fans as "La Epoca Necaxista abajo Capitalismo " or "the new era of Necaxa under Capitalism".

In 1992, the talented footballer, deeply rooted in the Institution of producing great footballers Pumas of U.N.A.M., Ex-Puma player Enrique Borja is under contract and heads the clubs football operations to continue the commitment of excellence with in the organization and leaving Saporitti as head coach of Necaxa. The following season the team loses a decisive match and key to Saporitti future. Eventually,Saporitti is replaced. The team Saporitti, Manera, Ruiz leave is an offensive minded team, that was disciplined, yet lack great defensive talent. The following season, management asks the services of Manuel Lapuente, who balanced the mind set of the teams needs. Both in offense, which was already there and defense. Sergio "El Ratón" Zarate, Octavio "Picas" Becerril, the Chilean Eduardo "Lalo" Vilches, y José María "El Chema" Higareda were key figures in the defense and offense of the football Club. Manuel Lapuente manages Club Necaxa to three successful Championship titles in Mexico's National Football League.

The Necaxa team of the '90s and represented the cohesion and ability of working and playing as a team under lucrative financial incentives,forced great communication on the field and execution on the field during advanced Capitalism competition play. Necaxa's Championships were similar, yet different reminder of the spirit of "Los Once Hermanos" or "the Eleven Brothers" in the late 1930s.
