FC Juárez

Fútbol Club Juárez was founded in 2015 by a bi-national group of six families, two from the border city of El Paso, Texas, USA and four from Ciudad Juárez, Chihuahua, Mexico, making it one of the few clubs with foreign investors in Mexican football and marking the return of professional sports 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.{{cite web|url=http://www.aztecadeportes.com/notas/liga-bancomer-mx/2015-05-26-18-22/ciudad-juarez-tendria-equipo-en-la-division-de-ascenso/|title=Ciudad Juárez tendría equipo en la División de Ascenso|access-date=May 26, 2015|publisher=Azteca Deportes|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150610050858/http://www.aztecadeportes.com/notas/liga-bancomer-mx/2015-05-26-18-22/ciudad-juarez-tendria-equipo-en-la-division-de-ascenso/|archive-date=June 10, 2015|url-status=dead}}
