Catch a pro soccer game almost any time of the year since the local team Club de Fútbol Pachuca (often known locally as Los Tuzos) plays in Mexico's top football league, the Liga MX which has two annual seasons. The stadium opened in 1993 and seats 30,000 fans. Pachuca is the oldest team in Mexico, tracing its roots to 1901 when it was founded by miners who had emigrated from Cornwall in southern England.
