Founded in 1927, Cruz Azul is a professional football club based in Mexico City. They are a member of CONCACAF and compete in Liga MX.
The name comes from the cement company Cementos Cruz Azul, headquartered in Jasso (Hidalgo). In the 1990s, the club changed its logo to a round one that encircles a red square with a cross and seven stars.
History
Cruz Azul was founded in 1927 as an amateur company team for the Cemento Cruz Azul cement firm in the town of Jasso, Hidalgo. They are a member of Liga MX and play at the Estadio Azteca, the largest stadium in Latin America.
Cruz Azul’s crest features a blue cross within a white circle encircled by a red square. The crest also shows three stars to signify each league championship win.
A major highlight of Cruz Azul’s history was a second continental treble in 1997 after winning their last title 17 years earlier. The club has also won nine Mexican league titles and one Supercopa de la Liga MX championship.
Their 2021 Apertura campaign was not as successful; however, they finished eighth in the 18-team table. It wasn’t until January that they finally found a bit of their mojo and are currently sitting in third place with an impressive 3-1-1 record. They have already beaten the most recent Liga MX finalists Club Leon, which is a good start for their Clausura campaign.
