Tlaxcala, located a mere 75 miles or so from the bustling modern megalopolis that is Mexico City, is not exactly one of the first places that comes to mind when you think about Mexican fútbol. The state, which constantly ranks as one of the most impoverished in all of Mexico, has never had a team play in the country’s top flight. As a result of lacking a proper fútbol team to call their own, the citizens of Tlaxcala adopted the likes of Cruz Azul, Club America, and Pumas UANM due to these teams having a relatively close proximity to Tlaxcala.
