Petroleros de Ciudad Madero

The Club de Fútbol Ciudad Madero - or short CF Madero - was a Mexican football club based in Ciudad Madero, Tamaulipas state, which was created in 1964 as a legal successor of the company founded on January 29, 1956 Club Refineria Madero. This association was in the early 1960s repeatedly División before promotion to the Primera, but was always failed in his rise efforts.

The new club was formed to participate in the beginning of 1964 at a initiated by the Mexican Football Federation special tournament. The goal was, the number of first division teams from the next season to raise from 14 to 16. However, the CF Madero could not prevail, and remained in the second division. However him in the next season (1964 /65) should under head coach Ernesto Candia winning the second division championship - and thus the regular rise - succeed.

In the promotion season (1965 /66) still narrowly escaped relegation, led the way in 1967 back to the second division. 1973 succeeded the CF Madero under Coach Grimaldo Gonzalez again promotion to the top division, but again the relegation followed after two years. The balance of the relegation season 1974/75 was devastating: from 38 games Madero had won only five, but lost 22.

Because the club never again was able to ascend to the top flight and constantly moving during his four Erstligajahre in the descent regions, the CF Madero left no lasting impression. Finally, the game operation came to a complete standstill.

In 2002 the club was revived briefly, started in the Segunda División third-rate and fourth-rate rose later in the Tercera División.
