Fútbol Club Juárez, commonly referred to as Bravos de Juárez, or simply as Juárez, is a Mexican football club based in the city of Ciudad Juárez, Chihuahua that currently competes in the Ascenso MX.

History

Futbol Club Juárez was founded in 2015 by a group led by Alejandra de la Vega, marking the return of professional soccer to Ciudad Juárez for the first time since 2012 after the previous franchise, Indios de Ciudad Juárez, was relegated from Liga MX, suffered from poor management, and was ultimately disbanded.[1]

On June 7, 2015, it was officially announced by Ascenso MX officials that FC Juárez would compete in Ascenso MX, starting in the Apertura 2015 season.

On December 5, 2015, after a very successful beginning to the season, the team ended the 2015 campaign in second place, and FC Juárez captured its first Ascenso MX title after beating Atlante 3-1 on aggregate, thus gaining the right to play in the promotional final in the Ascenso MX.[2] The failed to qualifiy for the Clausura 2016 liguilla and lost the promotional final against Necaxa.

The following season, Juárez failed to qualify for the liguilla. In the Clausura 2017 season, Juárez lost the final against Lobos BUAP with an aggregate score of 4–2.

For the 2017–18 Ascenso MX season, the league announced that Juárez was one of six Ascenso MX teams eligible for promotion to Liga MX the following season.[3] In the Apertura 2017 season, Juárez lost their second consecutive final, against Alebrijes de Oaxaca, on penalties.[4]
