The Club de Futbol Monterrey is a Mexican football club from Monterrey, Nuevo León. Founded on 28 June 1945, it is also the oldest team from the north of Mexico currently playing in its professional division. They are owned by FEMSA, Latin America's largest bottling company. Because of their home uniform they are traditionally known as the Rayados (the striped ones) and their oldest rival are the Tigers of the Autonomous University of Nuevo León, with whom they play a local derby. The question of which team is most successful is the topic of fierce debates in weeks prior to a match.

[edit] History At the end of World War II, a group of industrial businessmen headed by Ramón Cárdenas Coronado, Enrique Ayala Medina, Paul C. Probert, Rogelio Cantú Gómez and Miguel Margáín Zozaya, decided to create the Club de Futbol Monterrey. The team's nickname was popularly accepted, after the team's uniform, which is traditionally white with navy blue vertical stripes. Although the original uniform was white with a diagonal blue upper shoulder, the stripes were inspired in 1965, when the Tampico Madero (nicknamed "Jaibas Bravas", or Brave crabs) football team wore them, and the Monterrey team adopted them. Since, the home uniform consists of vertical blue and white striped jerseys with blue shorts.  In its first professional game, played August 19, 1945 against San Sebastián de León, Monterrey won by a score of 1-0, with José "Che" Gómez scoring the winner. On March 1, 1986, the Rayados won their first title in the return leg of a series against Tampico-Madero in the Estadio Tecnológico, to win by an aggregrate 3-2. The goals were scored by Uruguayan Reinaldo Güeldini, and Mexican Francisco Javier "El Abuelo" Cruz, who finished the season as the league leader in goals. For many years the team's logo didn't show the star for this title. Monterrey won their Second title in the Clausura 2003 tournament, when on June 14, 2003 they defeated Monarcas Morelia by an aggregate of 3-1. Their main rivals are the UANL Tigres and they have played in 89 derbies, or Clásico Regiomontano as they are called, two of them were played in Texas at Frisco´s Pizza Hut Park and Houston's Robertson Stadium. It has been a close rivalry, Rayados have played the derby in semi-finals twice in a round robin format, having won two games and lost two games, both times (2003 and 2005) qualifying to the finals. [edit] RivalryRayados' biggest rival is Tigres. This rivalry is called Clásico Regiomontano, the third most important derby in Mexico, behind the Superclásico between Guadalajara and América and El Clásico Tapatío between CD Guadalajara and Atlas, both played before the Monterrey teams existed. Monterrey and Tigres sell out most of their home games regardless of weather conditions and the teams' status. On every Clásico the stadium is sold out as soon as tickets go on sale. Monterrey and Tigres played their first Clásico on July 13, 1974 in the Estadio Universitario, with a draw 3-3. Monterrey would be the first team to win the Clásico in their second confrontation 2-1. In the first Clásicos, almost all were played in the Estadio Universitario. Estimating almost 70,000 fans attending these games before stadium renovation. Currently, Rayados is behind Tigres with 29 victories against 33 defeats, tied games are 24. [edit] Fan base The city of Monterrey claims to have Mexico's most loyal supporting crowds for their teams. There is a rivalry between La Adicción, CF Monterrey crowd, and Libres y Lokos, UANL Tigres crowd, each time a Clásico takes place. [edit] StadiumCurrently Monterrey plays at Estadio Tecnológico, it is the second oldest football stadium in Mexico, after Estadio Azul.
