Lore & Background

Guadalajara won its first league championship in 1956 as part of 'El Campeonísimo', one of the finest teams in Mexican football history. The club holds the record for four consecutive league titles (1958–59 to 1961–62). During the 1970s and early 1980s, the team struggled and was nicknamed 'Las Chivas Flacas'. The club has never been relegated.
