Club Jaiba Brava, formerly known asTampico Madero,[1] is a Mexican professionalfootball club based inTampico andCiudad Madero,Tamaulipas, that plays inLiga de Expansión MX, the second level division ofMexican football.[2]The club was founded in 1982 asDeportivo Social Tampico Madero.The club changed its name toTM Fútbol Club in 2016, then again toClub Deportivo y Social Tampico Madero in 2022, and finally changed to its current name in 2024.
The club was founded on September 5, 1982 when the city ofTampico,Tamaulipas decided to buy out a struggling club made up from players from theAtletas Campesinos team from the city ofQuerétaro,Querétaro and some from the precursor club, C.D. Tampico A.C, that had been relegated and dissolved. That year the club struggled once again, finishing 14th in the league. The following year, the club would earn 9th place.
The1985–86 season was split into two short tournaments, theProde 85 andMexico 86. In the Prode 85 the club finished 1st in group 1 and qualified to the playoff series. In the quarterfinals the club defeatedCruz Azul 4–2. In semifinals the club defeatedPuebla 5–4. In the finals the club went up againstAmérica, managing to beat América 4–1 in the first match and losing in the second 4-0 to a loss in aggregate of 5-1. In theMexico 86 the club would once again reach the finals, this time after defeatingMonarcas Morelia in quarterfinals andAmérica in semifinals. The club would go up againstMonterrey in the finals winning the first match 2–1 but once again losing the second match 2–0 and finishing runner up. The club would qualify to the playoffs again in the 1988–89 tournament. This time a short tournament play-off round was played with clubsCruz Azul,Pumas de la UNAM andAtlante. The club would finish 1 point behindCruz Azul, who would go on to final againstAmérica. The following year the club finished 19th overall. The club was bought out by theQuerétaro franchise and moved to the city ofQuerétaro,Querétaro.
In 1991,Antonio Pélaez Pier bought theAtlético Potosino franchise and relocated it to Tampico, Tamaulipas to return the team to competitions. The team was registered in theSegunda División de México.[3] In 1994, the team was promoted to thePrimera División de México after defeatingIrapuato in the championship final.[4]
In the1994-95 season the team played in the Primera División, however, in the middle of the season the club was moved toHermosillo,Sonora and renamedGallos Blancos TM (a reserves team ofQuerétaro), due to problems between the team owner and the oil workers' union, the stadium owners.[5]
After 1995, the team came and went on several occasions, playing mainly in thePrimera División 'A' de México. Between 1995 and 1998 the team was a reserves team ofPuebla. In 2001,Águilas de Tamaulipas was promoted from the Segunda División and took the name of Tampico Madero, however, the team only played one year until it was moved toLa Piedad,Michoacán and renamedLa Piedad due to a lack of support from local businessmen.[3]
In 2005, the team returned to compete in the Primera División 'A', now as part of the sports structure ofAtlante, Tampico Madero served as the team's reserves for a few years and later as an independent club. However, in 2009 it was dissolved due to the reform of the league that established requirements that the club had not met.[3] The club was able to continue playing in thethird level of Mexican football because it kept its reserves squad that took part in that league and became the main team.
In 2010, the team merged with Universidad del Fútbol, and became part of the sports structure ofPachuca, for which Tampico Madero received youth players from. In theTorneo Independencia 2010, the team was runner-up in the league after being defeated byCelaya. In 2014, the club became independent from Pachuca.
In 2015, theGrupo Tecamachalco took charge of the club withJavier San Román as president. In theClausura 2016 tournament the team won the championship of its division and played in the playoff againstPotros UAEM, where the club was defeated.[6]
In the summer of 2016, Grupo Tecamachalco signed an agreement withGrupo Orlegi. With this agreement Tampico Madero obtained a franchise in theLiga de Ascenso de México, the second category ofMexican football,[7] where the team was officially renamed asTM Fútbol Club. In 2018, Grupo Tecamachalco abandoned the operation of the club due to the possible elimination of the right of promotion for the clubs of the Ascenso MX to the Liga MX.[8] After this event, Tampico Madero continued in the league, but became a training team forSantos Laguna andAtlas, the Orlegi clubs that participate in thePrimera División de México.
In the spring of 2020, the Ascenso MX was in a financial crisis from theCOVID-19 pandemic and the loss of television income and fans suffered by the clubs, so the league became a youth football development tournament and promotion to the Liga MX was abolished in exchange for member clubs receiving financial aid from teams in the highest category of Mexican football. The league was renamed asLiga de Expansión MX.
In December 2020, Tampico Madero became the first Liga de Expansión champion after defeatingAtlante in the final.[9] In May 2021, the team lost the champions trophy againstTepatitlán.[10] In December 2021, the team was runner-up in the league after falling to Atlante in a repeat of the 2020 final.[11]
At the end of 2021, several problems began to arise between Grupo Orlegi, the owner of the club, and the oil workers' union due to the worse state of theEstadio Tamaulipas, since both parties accused each other of not taking charge of the maintenance of the property.[12] This terminated in the stadium being closed by the municipal government due to its poor conditions.
On April 20, 2022, Grupo Orlegi announced the end of the TM Fútbol Club franchise, which meant a new demise for the club.[13] The next day the purchase of the franchise was announced by businessman Arturo Lomelí, the owner ofMazorqueros Fútbol Club, who decided to move the club toLa Paz,Baja California Sur and rename itClub Atlético La Paz.[14]
After the end of the TM Fútbol Club franchise, local businessmen began efforts to bring a new team to the city.[15] On June 22, 2022, the new project was officially presented, the team was renamedClub Deportivo y Social Tampico Madero and played in theSegunda División de México between 2022 and 2024. The new team emerged after acquiring theAtlético Reynosa franchise, which had been on hiatus since 2020.Enrique Badillo was appointed as the president of the club andGastón Obledo as manager.[2] In thefirst tournament for the new franchise, Tampico Madero dominated their competition and became the favorites to win the championship, however they were defeated in the final byTuzos UAZ with an aggregate score of 2–3.[16]
In theClausura tournament the team once again dominated the competition, so it advanced to the final phase. After eliminatingGavilanes de Matamoros andCafetaleros de Chiapas, Tampico Madero reached the final againstInter Playa del Carmen, in the two games the teams tied at two goals, with an aggregate score of 4-4, for which a penalty shoot-out was necessary. Finally, Tampico Madero won the series 4-2 and won the championship.[17]
Tampico Madero won the 2022–23 season Champions Trophy against Tuzos UAZ, in a series of matches that were impacted by violent incidents in the first leg held in the city ofZacatecas,Zacatecas. The series ended with a 1–0 aggregate.[18] Although the team had won its right to promote to the Liga de Expansión through sports merits, this was denied by theFMF, considering that the team did not meet the requirements to participate in that league, so Tampico Madero should have remained in the Liga Premier.[19]
In the 2023–24 season, Tampico Madero revalidated its status as champion of theLiga Premier –Serie A by defeatingLos Cabos United in the final in the final with an aggregate score of 4–1,[20] although the team won the right to be examined for promotion to the Liga de Expansión, the board decided to purchase a franchise of a participating team in the higher category, pending approval by the League's regulatory authorities.[21] On July 12, 2024, the assembly of Liga de Expansión owners approved the entry of Tampico Madero as a guest team of the Liga Premier, so the purchase of a franchise was not necessary to have the promotion.[22] After its promotion to the category, the team was officially renamedClub Jaiba Brava due to regulatory issues regarding the team name.[1]
