Colima Fútbol Club is a Mexican professional football club based in the city of Colima, that competes in the Liga Premier, the third level division of Mexican football.

History

In December 2019, Loros UdeC was dissolved after the death of its owner, which left the city of Colima without a professional football team.[2]

At the beginning of 2020, Sergio Bueno, a football manager born in the city, began a project to return football to the city with the aim of getting a promotion to higher categories of the Mexican Football Federation.[3] On March 12, 2020, the club's registration with the Mexican Football Federation was made official, which is why it is considered as the founding date of Colima F.C.[4] In June, an agreement was signed between the University of Colima and an association for the use of the Estadio Olímpico Universitario de Colima by a new football team.[5]

On July 17, 2020, the team's participation in the Segunda División de México was announced.[6] On July 29, it was announced that the team would be part of Group 1 along with other teams from the northern and western areas of Mexico.[7] On August 20, René Isidoro García was officially announced as the first coach in the club's history,[8] the same day, it was announced that the club would seek to have a development area for youth footballers and a women's team.[9]

On September 19, 2020, Colima F.C. played its first official match. The team defeated Gavilanes de Matamoros 2–0. Jorge Almaguer scored the first goal in the club's history.[10]
