Club de Futbol Cruz Azul S.A. de C.V. Lagunas, commonly referred to as Cruz Azul Lagunas, is a Mexican professional football club based in Lagunas, Oaxaca. The club competes in the Premier B, the bottom branch of the Liga Premier de México, the third tier of Mexican football. It serves as an affiliate team of Cruz Azul.
History
[edit]In the 1940s, Cooperativa La Cruz Azul started to establish cities dedicated to its industry in the state of Oaxaca, one of which was located on the Isthmus of Tehuantepec and was called Lagunas. Football was one of the favorite sports for the development of the cities founded by the company.[2]
Since the 1990s, the team has participated in the Tercera División de México, a category in which it has remained ever since.[3] Between 2003 and 2006, there was a parallel project called Cruz Azul Oaxaca, which played in the Primera División 'A' de México after the relocation of Cruz Azul Hidalgo from the state of Hidalgo to the city of Oaxaca, which was nourished in part by players from the Lagunas team.
The team has trained some important players for the main team like Javier Aquino and Julio César Domínguez.[4] Lagunas has also become a summer training venue for the first-team of Cruz Azul, where an annual stay is held.[5]
In the 2025–26 season, the team reached the Tercera División zone finals, therefore, the team was promoted to the Segunda División de México, being the best performance in the club's history.[6]
