Club Necaxa is a Mexican professional football club. Necaxa plays in the Primera División de México. The club plays its home games at Estadio Victoria, located in Aguascalientes, Aguascalientes, Mexico.
History
Necaxa was founded August 21, 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 with the help of the Ecuadorian footballer Alex Aguinaga. They won consecutive championships in the 1994-95 and 1995-96 seasons under manager Manuel Lapuente.They finished runners-up three times.
Their 3rd place finish in the 2000 FIFA Club World Championship is the highest by any Mexican club team (Club America played in the Consolation Round but lost in 2006). In the Apertura season of 2007 Necaxa finished in 11th place with 20 points. Their top scorer of the Apertura was Hugo Rodallega with 9 goals.
Stadium
Estadio Victoria located in the Mexican city of Aguascalientes, Aguascalientes. The stadium opened in the year 2003 and has a capacity of 28,000 seats. The stadium is multi-use capable but mostly used for games and is the home-stadium of the Necaxa football club which had previously played in Mexico City (at the Estadio Azteca) before relocating to Aguascalientes and Estadio Victoria. The stadium is named after a leading brand of beer brewed by Grupo Modelo, who own the naming rights of the stadium.
