Águilas Blancas de la ESCA-ESIQIE[3] (English: White Eagles), also known as Politécnico or simply Águilas Blancas, is a Mexican college football team representing the National Polytechnic Institute in Mexico City, Mexico. The Águilas Blancas participate in the Green Conference as part of the National Student Organization of American Football (ONEFA). It is one of the most successful college football teams in Mexico having won 5 national championships throughout their history. They maintain a fierce rivalry with teams from the National Autonomous University of Mexico particularly with its Coyoacán based team from Ciudad Universitaria, Pumas Dorados de la UNAM.

History

Politécnico National Championships

This squad is the heir of the Burros Blancos del IPN that was one of the oldest institution with an ancient American football tradition in Mexico (the other and their main competitor is the Pumas Dorados de la UNAM), the beginning of this squad can be traced to the late 40's.

The modern age started in the sixties and the origin of this squad as we know it now was the mid sixties, with the foundation of the three teams of IPN; the Búhos ESM-ENCB (Owls), Cheyenes ESIME-ESIA (Cheyennes) and Águilas Blancas ESCA (White Eagles).

Águilas Blancas was the best ranked team of the IPN during the first years after the foundation. The first championship came in 1973; later from 1974 to 1980 the squad found a lot of ups and downs; in 1981 came the second championship and in 1982 the third championship.

Due to the critical economic situation in Mexico the IPN authorities decided to merge the three teams and then came the foundation of Poli Guinda.

1988 was the year of the fourth championship and this time the relevance was large, because Águilas Blancas (now revived) defeated the Pumas Dorados de la UNAM at the final match.

In 1992 came the fifth and last championship of the team.

From 1998 to 2006; the team did not reach any post season game, the season 2000 was the worst of its history. Today the team is in a renewal process and is one of the mayor candidates to win the champion ship of the new Green Conference (Conferencia Verde).
