Biography
Formation
Club de Fútbol Monterrey, commonly known as CF Monterrey or Rayados, was founded on June 28, 1945, by a group of industrial businessmen including Ramón Cárdenas Coronado and Enrique Ayala Medina. The club emerged in the wake of World War II and quickly became a significant part of the Mexican football landscape. The team's nickname, "Rayados," is derived from their traditional navy blue striped uniforms, which were inspired by the Tampico Madero football team in 1965. Monterrey played its first professional match on August 19, 1945, winning 1-0 against San Sebastián de León, but faced early challenges, including a tragic bus accident that claimed the lives of several players.
Early Struggles and Resilience
Despite a promising start, Monterrey encountered a difficult inaugural season, losing 21 consecutive games and finishing last in the league. The club's resilience was tested, but with support from other Mexican teams who loaned players, Monterrey continued to compete. After a hiatus in 1946 to honor the fallen players, the club returned to the league and began to establish itself in Mexican football.
Legacy and Achievements
Over the years, CF Monterrey has grown into one of the most successful clubs in Liga MX, with a rich history of domestic and international honors. The club has won multiple championships and continues to be a formidable presence in Mexican football, playing its home matches at the Estadio BBVA. Since 1999, Monterrey has been owned by FEMSA, further solidifying its status in the sport. The club's commitment to excellence and its passionate fan base have made it a cornerstone of football in Northern Mexico.

Since then, the home uniform consists of vertical blue and white striped jerseys with blue shorts. In its first professional game, played on 19 August 1945 against San Sebastián de León, Monterrey won 1–0, with José "Che" Gómez scoring the winner. That joy quickly came to an end, first by losing 6–0 to Montezuma, and then having the club's travelling bus involved in a tragic accident in the San Juan de los Lagos roads that would take the lives of many of the club's players and had a big impact on the surviving players. The other Mexican clubs in solidarity loaned players to Monterrey to continue playing the tournament, but the club struggled nevertheless; they lost 21 games in a row and conceded 121 goals that year, finishing last in the league. Due to these events, the club decided to stop playing in the league in 1946 in honor of the players who…
