Cancún Fútbol Club, simplified as Cancún FC, is a Mexican professional football club based in Cancún, Quintana Roo. It competes in Liga de Expansión MX, the second level division of Mexican football, and plays its home matches at the Estadio Andrés Quintana Roo. Founded in 2020, after the Cafetaleros de Chiapas franchise was relocated from Tuxtla Gutiérrez to Cancún.[3]
History
In June 2020, a possible move of Atlante began to be speculated, the team played at home in Cancún, Quintana Roo. On 26 June, the relocation of that club back to Mexico City was announced and became official.[4] The same day, the relocation of Cafetaleros de Chiapas was announced, and the team was transferred from Tuxtla Gutiérrez, Chiapas to Cancún, Quintana Roo and renamed as Cancún F.C.[5]
On 30 June 2020, the club appointed Argentine footballer Christian Giménez as its first manager.[6]
In January 2022, the team was bought by an investment fund headed by Mexican-American businessman Jeff Luhnow. However, due to regulatory issues, José Luis Orantes remained in the presidency until the end of the 2021–22 season.[7] On 1 June 2022, the sale was approved by the owners of the Liga de Expansión MX clubs, making the entry of the new owner official.[8]
