Club Irapuato
Club Irapuato por Siempre also known as Irapuato and familiarly as Freseros de Irapuato, is a professional football club, based in Irapuato, Guanajuato, Mexico.
Irapuato has mostly played in the Promotion League of Mexican football Primera Division A (Now called Ascenso MX). From 2000 to 2004, the team briefly rose to prominence and to the first division reaching the playoffs or liguilla. Historically, Irapuato has spent over 26 years in the first division never quite excelling to challenge for the title.
The team was relegated in 2004 but not because of their on-field performance but because of financial irregularities. The team then took a turn for the worse being relegated to the second division or Segunda Division.
The team finally returned to the Primera División A when the filial team of Pachuca, Pachuca Juniors, decided to move to Irapuato, and also change their name to Irapuato FC, once again giving Irapuato a soccer team. However, there is no indication of how this move or name change might have taken place. But it is known that such action has happened when Pachuca Juniors won promotion to Primera División A in 2008, and as stated on the FMF website, moved to Irapuato and changed their name to Irapuato FC.

Famous quotes containing the word club:
“The creation of “strong-minded” women, so-called, is due to the individualism of men, to the modern selfish and speculative spirit which absorbs everything within itself and leaves women nothing but self-assertion for their protection and support.”
