Santos Laguna
Club Santos Laguna, S.A. de C.V., simply known as Santos Laguna or Santos, is a Mexican professional football club based in Torreón, Coahuila. The club competes in Liga MX, the top division of Mexican football. Founded in 1983 as Club Santos IMSS Laguna by the Mexican Social Security Institute of the state of Durango, and the following year it changed to its current name.
Santos Laguna reached Mexico's top division after buying Ángeles de Puebla. The club debuted in the Primera División in the 1988–89 season. Domestically, Santos Laguna has won 6 Liga MX titles, one Copa MX and one Campeón de Campeones. Internationally, it finished as runners-up twice in the CONCACAF Champions League.
Santos is the third football club formed in the Comarca Lagunera region, after the unsuccessful clubs Laguna (which was moved to Ciudad Nezahualcóyotl, State of Mexico) and Club Torreón (which was moved to Guadalajara, Jalisco). In 2018, the club celebrated its 35th anniversary with a change in their logo. In a February 17, 2013 poll, by Consulta Mitofsky, it was the fifth-most-popular team in Mexico.
Santos Laguna was founded in 1983 by the IMSS of the state of Durango. Since the late 1970s, the IMSS had sponsored a national football tournament with teams from across the country. José Díaz Couder, IMSS head of social services in Gómez Palacio, was invited to participate in the tournaments despite the fact that he did not have a team. He appealed to the players he knew to form a team, based on Asturias F.C.
In 1987, Tuberos de Veracruz, part of the Segunda División de México, was purchased by IMSS and moved to Santa Cruz, Tlaxcala. The first Santos Laguna team spent less than a year in Tlaxcala before moving to Gómez Palacio. A lack of facilities spurred efforts to obtain Moctezuma Stadium (Estadio Corona) in Torreón, owned by John Abusaid, and the Saints made their first home in the former Estadio Corona. On September 4, 1988, the Warriors played their first game as Santos Laguna, winning 2–0.
When the IMSS sold its professional sports clubs, Salvador Necochea Sagi bought Santos Laguna. In their first year in the Segunda División 'A' de México, the Warriors avoided relegation with three wins, two draws and one loss. William (the Clash) Galindo, Carlos González, Julio César Armendáriz, Tomás Moreno and Fernando de la Rosa were notable players.
In 1989, the Warriors earned their nickname when, after a poor start, they finished 10th. Their fan base grew, and the club's owners bought the first Estadio Corona. The club underwent changes the following year, replacing its logo with the current one and playing in green and white stripes. Of the 18 founding members of the Segunda División 'B' de México, two won promotion to the Primera División de México: the Autonomous University of Tamaulipas and Santos Laguna.
In 1988, Santos Laguna purchased the Ángeles de Puebla franchise and relocated it to Torreón, Coahuila, giving them Christian Saavedra, Wilson Graniolatti, Martín Zúñiga and Miguel Herrera and a record of three wins, four draws and one loss. Lucas Ochoa scored the club's first Primera División goal and the Warriors, led by Carlos Ortiz, avoided relegation with Herrera's two goals paving the way for a 3–1 defeat of Atlético Potosino.
