Pumas celebrate 60 years in Liga BBVA MX!
Published January 19, 2022
It is every soccer team’s ambition to play against the world’s very best athletes and showcase their talents on the big stage. With hundreds of leagues around the world, making it to the highest level of any national competition can already be considered an incredible accomplishment. But becoming one of Mexico’s most iconic clubs and competing in a league as demanding as Liga BBVA MX for 60 straight years gives the word “extraordinary” a whole new meaning!
Originally an amateur team of students, the club was founded in 1954 under the name Club Deportivo Universidad in Mexico City. After competing in the Segunda División for more than 8 years, the team finally achieved its objective and secured its spot in the Primera División after defeating Club Cataluña de Torreón in the grand final! Seven Liga MX championships, one Copa MX title, and two Campeón de Campeones titles later, Pumas now rank among Mexico’s most successful and decorated teams!
After an exciting first half of the season, Pumas managed to reach the Apertura semifinals despite a slow start. Facing a dangerous Toluca squad in their first match of the Clausura, “los auriazules” debuted a special uniform to commemorate their 60th anniversary in the league. The limited-edition uniform pays tribute to the club’s humble beginnings and features a number of exclusive details and distinctive touches!
These extra-special jerseys have all been signed by Pumas’ brightest stars and are now available on our platform! Check out these stunners by clicking the link below!
