FC Juárez

Overview

Fútbol Club Juárez, also known as Bravos de Juárez, is a professional football club based in Ciudad Juárez, Chihuahua. The club competes in Liga MX, the top division of Mexican football, and plays its home matches at Estadio Olímpico Benito Juárez. Founded in 2015, the club debuted in Ascenso MX, Mexico's second-tier division, winning the championship in their inaugural Apertura 2015 season before falling short in the promotion playoff final and remaining in the second division. The club reached two further season finals in the Ascenso MX and was runner-up in the Clausura 2019 Copa MX, a domestic cup contested between first and second division clubs. In June 2019, Juárez acquired Lobos BUAP, assuming their place in Liga MX and gaining promotion to the top division. Juárez's best result in Liga MX to date came in the Apertura 2025 season, when they reached the quarterfinals. The club also holds the Liga MX record for the longest losing streak at the start of a season with eight losses, set in the Apertura 2026. Their supporter group takes its name from a darkly humorous reference to the cartel violence that affected Ciudad Juárez, and the club maintains an international friendly rivalry with El Paso Locomotive FC.
