Aztecas

Aztecas de la UDLA is the representative team of the Universidad de las Américas (UDLA) as a collegiate American football squad that plays in the ONEFA (College American Football League).

In 1947 the team began its life as the American football squad of Mexico City College with the nickname los Aztecas. That same year the squad was admitted into the most important American football conference in Mexico , Liga Mayor. In this conferece the team plays against teams with long traditions such as the Pumas Dorados de la UNAM , the Instituto Politecnico Nacional (IPN), Team Education, YMCA and the Military College. In 1949 los Aztecas won their first championship during the “old” Mexican American Football age. The final match of the season was played against the Pumas Dorados de la UNAM. The team then vanished for years until it re-apperead in 1979. In 1986 the squad entered the ONEFA, but it was not until 1991 that the championship of the minor conferece (Conferencia Nacional) was reached and the team ascended to the major category (Conferecia Metropolitana).

Since 1994 the team has achieved three sub-championships: in 1994, 1998 and 1999, then came the golden age with three championships in '95, '96 and '97. The 1995 season ended with the Aztecas' deafet of the Condores de la UNAM (Pumas Dorados de la UNAM) with score of 43-13. In 1996 the final match was took place in Monterrey where the Aztecas defeated home team Borregos Salvajes 6-3 in what was a heavily defensive match. The 1997 championship again pitted las Aztecas against, this time as at home, against the Borregos Salvajes who they again defeated with a score of 21–11.

The team was put in danger at the beginning of 2004 due to a decision of the university board of directors, but with a great effort of the university community, players, coaches and mass media the team achieves the chance to dispute the 2005 season. The team has now, however, returned to normal play.
