Mexican League System Restructured

On June 12th, Decio De María, president of the FEMEXFUT, after much dialogue with club owners and league presidents has announced that the professional league system in Mexico is to be restructured starting with the 15/16 season. De María announced that he hoped "the changes brought will help unify the four levels of the league system and boost the quality of football nationwide."

The changes will see Leones Negros, relegated after the 14/15 season, Dorados Sinaloa, relegated after the 15/16 season, and recently promoted team Necaxa to participate in the Liga MX thus expanding the number of teams to 20. Each season, the bottom team will be automatically relegated to "the silver division." The Ascenso MX will also be expanded to 20 teams. Each season, there will be three relegations into the Segunda División de Ascenso Premier, to be divided into three groups. The fourth and final tier will consist of 180 teams divided into 12 groups of 15 teams each with one single promotion from each group.


Tecos Fútbol Club



Founded in 1971, they became the first ever club to gain promotion from the third to first tier of Mexican football in 1975. They have won the league only once, in 1994. After being bought by Grupo Pachuca in 2014, they were moved to Zacatecas and had the franchise renamed, so the Tecos dissolved. In 2015, the Autonomous University of Guadalajara bought rights to the franchise and re-founded the team, they would play in the fourth tier of Mexican football. After the restructure, it was determined that Tecos will play in the fourth group of the Tercera División Their goal was to reach the Liga MX once again, within 5-6 years.

I love this story idea but please take it easy on my Xolos haha. Viva La Raza

@MJK46 No worries haha, they're the better team. For now, at least.

About the Manager

http://laaficion.milenio.com/futbol/Rodrigo-Marzo-Tecos-Tercera-Division_MILIMA20150902_0376_8.jpg

Rodrigo "Pony" Ruíz

Born in 1972 in Santiago, the capital of Chile, Ruíz made his debut playing for Chilean club Unión Española in 1992. He played for the "red fury" for two more years before earning a move to Mexican side, Puebla for the 94/95 season. In total, he played 65 games for the striped team before moving on to now extinct club Toros Neza. Before going to Santos Laguna in the year 2000, he played 132 games, scoring 32 goals for the bulls. At Santos, he won the league in 2001 and featured in 269 matches and scored 59 goals. After that, he had stints at Pachuca, Veracruz, Santos and Tecos where he finally retired in 2013. Internationally, he was not very successful, only playing 7 games for Chile. He made his debut in a friendly game against Spain in 1993. Chile lost 2-0. He scored hist first goal in Chile's 100 year tournament against New Zealand in a game that ended 3-1 in favor of the South American Team. He currently holds two records in Mexican football: the foreign player with most games in the first tier, 638, and the player with most assists in Mexican football history with 158. However, he only won the league once with Santos in 2001 as well as the Copa Chile twice.

About the save itself

Tecos is a team that wants to focus on things in the long run, and to do so I will also focus mainly on my youth and make only a couple of key signings and loans every season with the exception of the first season where we need to fill the team with actual players. With the inclusion of the Fuerzas Básicas(Academy) in the database, I will be hoping to give young players better chances in the first team.

You can expect the next update over the weekend, as a preseason review. Thanks.

Great start man

@MJK46 Thanks!

Loving the detailed updates mate, keep it up!

@BeanyUnited Thanks for the feedback

Bad News :(

Well, this is embarrassing. So, I was really excited to post the preseason review this weekend. The problem is that I had problems with my laptop and couldn't even play the game. So, because of that, the actual first post of this story has been delayed until further notice. I am really sorry about this and let's hope I can get the problem fixed soon enough.

Finally, after much waiting, I present to you: Tecos FC: Back from the dead
