Colima Fútbol Club is a Mexican professional football team based in Colima, Colima, Mexico currently playing in Liga Premier – Serie A.

## History

[edit]

In December 2019, Loros UdeC was dissolved after the death of its owner, which left the city of Colima without a professional football team.[2]

At the beginning of 2020, Sergio Bueno, a football manager born in the city, began a project to return football to the city with the aim of getting a promotion to higher categories of the Mexican Football Federation.[3] On March 12, 2020, the club's registration with the Mexican Football Federation was made official, which is why it is considered as the founding date of Colima F.C.[4] In June, an agreement was signed between the University of Colima and an association for the use of the Estadio Olímpico Universitario de Colima by a new football team.[5]

On July 17, 2020, the team's participation in the Segunda División de México was announced.[6] On July 29, it was announced that the team would be part of Group 1 along with other teams from the northern and western areas of Mexico.[7] On August 20, René Isidoro García was officially announced as the first coach in the club's history,[8] the same day, it was announced that the club would seek to have a development area for youth footballers and a women's team.[9]

On September 19, 2020, Colima F.C. played its first official match. The team defeated Gavilanes de Matamoros 2–0. Jorge Almaguer scored the first goal in the club's history.[10]

## Stadium
