History

The club's history dates back to 1894 mainly playing cricket, a sport that, like football, was introduced into Mexico by English emigrant workers and was popular at the time and practiced in cities such as Puebla City, Pachuca, Monterrey and Mexico City. In 1897 the club joined the Mexican National Cricket Club where each of the mentioned cities had a representative club, such as Puebla A.C. .
