Mazatlán Futbol Club is a Mexican professional football team based in Mazatlán, Sinaloa currently playing in Liga MX. The club was established in June 2020 after Monarcas Morelia relocated to Mazatlán.[1]
In 2017, the Government of Sinaloa decided to build a new football stadium in the city of Mazatlán as part of a project that intended to build and improve several sport venues in the state. One of the goals of this project was to have a professional football team playing in Mazatlán.[2]
In 2020, works were accelerated in order to have the stadium completed before 30 June and ahead of the start of the 2020–21 season with the aim of looking for a professional team to move to the newly built stadium.[3] The stadium was provisionally named as Estadio de Mazatlán (Mazatlán Stadium) and it reportedly cost 1.452 billion pesos.[4]
The Government of Sinaloa together with a group of businessmen from Mazatlán lobbied with a few Liga MX teams. Three franchises were rumored as potential candidates to move to Mazatlán for the 2020–21 season: Morelia, Puebla and Querétaro.[5]
On 2 June, it was officially announced that Monarcas Morelia was moving to Mazatlán, and that it would be rebranded as Mazatlán Futbol Club, as a entirely separate football club.[1] On 8 June, Mazatlán unveiled its crest and colours. The team colours are purple, black and white.[6]
On 11 June, the club presented Francisco Palencia as their manager for the 2020–21 season.[7] On 27 July Mazatlán played their first official match, in which they were defeated against Puebla with a score of 1–4: the club's first official goal was scored by César Huerta.[8]
