List of C.F. Monterrey seasons
The following is a list of seasons played by C.F. Monterrey in Liga MX and other association football competitions from the 1945–46 season to the present. Friendlies are excluded. It is the seventh club in the league with the most consecutive seasons played.[1][2][3]
C.F. Monterrey was founded on 28 June 1945, near the end of World War II by a group of industrial businessmen headed by Ramón Cárdenas Coronado, Enrique Ayala Medina, Paul C. Probert, Rogelio Cantú Gómez and Miguel Margáín Zozaya. The team's nickname was popularly accepted, after the team's uniform, which is traditionally white with navy blue vertical stripes. Although the original uniform was white with a diagonal blue upper shoulder, the stripes were inspired in 1965, when the Tampico Madero (nicknamed "Jaibas Bravas", or Brave crabs) football team wore them, and the Monterrey team adopted them. Since then, the home uniform consists of vertical blue and white striped jerseys with blue shorts.[4][5]
Monterrey's debut took place on August 19, 1945, with a 1-0 victory over the San Sebastián Saints at Cuauhtémoc Baseball Park in León, Guanajuato. The first goal in the club's history was scored by Spanish-Argentine José "Che" Gómez. This would be the birth of football the state of Nuevo León, where baseball was the most popular sport.[6]
Monterrey has won the Liga MX five times, the Copa México three times, the CONCACAF Champions League five times, and the CONCACAF Cup Winners Cup once. Since the format change in 2008, it was the first club to win the CONCACAF League three times in a row (2011-2012-2013). In 2020, became the second Mexican club to complete the continental treble.[7]
