History

Necaxa was founded August 21, 1923 with the support of the Compañía de Luz, from which they drew a nickname, the "Electricistas". They were very successful in the early days of the Mexican league, winning championships in the 1932-33, 1934-35, 1936-37, and 1937-38 seasons.

Necaxa's fortunes declined after the professionalization of the Mexican league following the 1942-43 season, as they were excluded from the newly formed, 10-team Liga Mayor.

Necaxa went the next fifty years without winning a single championship, before finally returning to prominence in the mid-1990s. They won conseecutive championships in the 1994-95 and 1995-96 seasons under manager Manuel Lapuente . The have gone on to win the 2001-02 apertura, and finish runners-up three times.
