History edit
In 2020, the city of Reynosa was left without representation in Mexican soccer after the dissolution of Atlético Reynosa, a team that played in the third–tier of Mexican football.[1] Later, some teams from the city emerged in the Liga TDP, the fourth division of Mexican football, although without popular repercussion.
In May 2023, Alebrijes UABJO won the Serie B de México champions trophy, thus obtaining the right to have a place in Serie A, however, as it is a team affiliated with a club from one division higher, it could be sold due to lack of budget to maintain it.[2]
On June 15, 2023, it was announced that a group of businessmen from Reynosa, Tamaulipas bought Alebrijes UABJO, the team was relocated to that city and renamed as Club de Fútbol Reynosa.[3] The first players on the team were footballers from Alebrijes UABJO.[4] On June 30, 2023 it was announced that the team is officially named C.F. Orgullo Reynosa due to administrative issues.[5]
