Club Necaxa, with over a century of history, is an emblem of Mexican football. Originally founded in Mexico City on August 21, 1923, by Scottish engineer William H. Fraser, the 'Electricistas' team quickly won the hearts of fans. Their first golden era arrived in the 1930s with the legendary 'Once Hermanos' team, a squad that played with such synchronicity that they dominated the amateur circuit, winning multiple leagues and cups and becoming Mexico's first 'Campeonísimo.'
After several decades of ups and downs, the club resurged spectacularly in the 1990s. Under the management of Manuel Lapuente and with figures like Álex Aguinaga, Necaxa established itself as 'The Team of the Decade,' winning three league championships (1994-95, 1995-96, Invierno 98) and excelling internationally. This period reaffirmed their status as an elite club, known for its tactical and effective football.
In 2003, the team moved to its current home in Aguascalientes, inaugurating the modern Estadio Victoria. This change gave the club a new identity and a fanbase exclusively dedicated to Los Rayos. Today, Necaxa continues to be a tenacious competitor in Liga MX, keeping the flame of its rich history alive and offering its supporters historic moments and an unparalleled stadium atmosphere, filled with passion and pride for the red and white colors.
