Their chief rival is Club de Fútbol Monterrey or Rayados, with whom they play a derby called the Clásico Regiomontano. The derby has intensified along with the rivalry. Ever since Rayados won their second championship, it has given them the right to declare themselves even, since Tigres UANL have also won two league championships. Determining who is better between both teams has become a very common and very arguable question between the fans in Monterrey. Statistically speaking, Tigres UANL are better due to them winning two Mexico Cup Championships, two Interligas, and more derbies.

History

• UANL Tigres were born as Jabatos, and later changed their name to "Tigres" (Tigers) in 1960.

• In 1967, their home, the Estadio Universitario was built.

• In 1974, they were Mexican Division Champions and therefore promoted to First Division.

• In 1975, they became the first team in the state of Nuevo León to win an official First Division Cup Championship.

• In 1978, only a year after being promoted, they became the first team in the state to win the League.

• In 1979, they became League Runner up after losing against Cruz Azul. Some consider this the best final in the history of the Mexican First Division^[1]. The Azteca Stadium Electronic Score Bilboard played the phrase "TIGRES. estos si tienen corazon" over and over after the final game was over^{[citation needed]}.

• In 1982, they won their second First Division League Championship.

• In 1989, they became Cup Runner Up after losing against Puebla.

• In 1996, after years of corrupt management of the state-controlled university, and of the team, Tigres were relegated to Primera División A. Note that Mexico uses a percentage-based relegation system, in which the team with the worst performance percentage in three years (instead of the worst team in the season) is relegated. In fact, Tigres qualified to play-offs in 1996, but it was the cumulative effect of corruption on the team that caused the crisis. As a result, the team was privatized, and the administration of the team was given for 10 years to Sinergia Deportiva, a trust-holder run by Cemex.

• In 1997, after two consecutive Primera "A" championships, the team returns to first division, or "Primera División de México".

• In 2001 and 2003, the team reached the final, both times against Pachuca, and both times defeated in their stadium.

• In October 2003 the team invited the marching band from Texas State University to perform at its match against the Rayados.

• In October 2004, the team purchased the rights to a franchise in the MISL called the Monterrey Tigres. However, due to conflicts with the previous MISL franchise the Monterrey Fury, the team elected not to complete its purchase of the team, and the MISL terminated the indoor franchise in December 2004.

• In January of 2005, Tigres UANL became champion of the InterLiga and qualified for their first Copa Libertadores de América.

• In Jaunuary of 2006, Tigres defeated their arch-rival Club de Futbol Monterrey, to win their second InterLiga, and qualify again to Copa Libertadores. ^[2]

• On August 3, 2006, Cemex, the company who controls Tigres, celebrated its first 100 years with a match between Tigres and FC Barcelona in Monterrey. The game ended with the locals losing by 3-0. Syndey Balderas of Tigres scored an own-goal, Ronaldinho scored with a free kick and later passed to Eiður Guðjohnsen for a third goal.^[3]

Anthem

Throughout the years, Tigres has had different songs to represent its colors. The fight song, also known as "anthem" is played in an informal manner every time Tigres plays, and it is also played on local radio programs that cover Tigres games or are about soccer in Monterrey, and talk about Tigres. Nickname: Motto: El Trabajo templa el Espíritu Location of Monterrey in northern Mexico Coordinates: , Country State Founded 20 September 1596 Government  - Mayor Adalberto Madero ( PAN) Area  - City 860 km²  (332 sq mi) Elevation 537 m (1,762 ft) Population (2005)  - City 1,133,814  - Density 1,989/km² (5...

The current anthem was written and composed in 1996 by José Antonio "Tony" Villegas, and produced by Santiago Yturria. This is the newest Tigres anthem, created when the team was privatized. A hip-hop remix of the anthem has also been created since.

This anthem is different from past anthems because it glorifies attributes and values that are popularly related to the city of Monterrey or the State of Nuevo León, and relates those values to the team. Some of these values include "hard work", dedication to a common goal, unity, strength, the value of the locality, positive example to children, and the "dream of always being the best".

Rivalries

There are a number of matches which the media, or the rivals, regard as special matches for Tigres. However, the only derby that Tigres fans consider as "real" is the Clásico Regiomontano. Following, is a list of matches that are called "special" or "classic" by the media: Clásico Regiomontano is a football derby in Monterrey, México, between rival teams Rayados de Monterrey and Tigres UANL. Since the first Clásico in 1974, the two teams have competed 84 times for bragging rights and city honour. ...

• Tigres UANL vs. Monterrey
  • This is the authentic Clásico Regiomontano derby. On every Clásico, the Stadium is sold out before tickets even go on sell to the public in booths. In the history of Clásicos, Tigres is the better team with 30 victories, and only 29 defeats. Tied games are 24. One game was suspended.
• Tigres UANL vs. Pachuca
  • Pachuca gained promotion by elimintating Tigres' affiliate Tigrillos in the promotion final. In First Division, Pachuca has defeated Tigres in the League Final twice at the Estadio Universitario. Because of this, Tigres fans have a sense of rivalry against Pachuca. This rivalry has been recently fueled by the signing of José Luis Trejo as Tigres coach only a day after Pachuca won the Clausura 2006 final, an action that Pachuca considered a "lack of ethics" by Tigres. Pachuca has never defeated UANL at the Estadio Universitario.
• Tigres UANL vs. Cruz Azul
  • Some media outlets call this a derby, because Cruz Azul represents a cement company, and Tigres are administered by CEMEX, the second largest cement company in the world. It is called by some media outlets the "Cement Derby", or "Clasico del Cemento."
• Tigres UANL vs. UNAM
  • Because Tigres represent the UANL, University of Nuevo León, and Pumas represent the UNAM, National University of Mexico, this is game is sometimes called the "University Derby", or "Clásico Universitario". Without a doubt, UANL and UNAM are the two most prestigious public universities in the country.
• Tigres UANL vs. Santos Laguna
  • The people of the city of Torreon (and actually, of the state of Coahuila) have a rivalry with the state of Nuevo León, in which Tigres play. So, for Santos Laguna, who play in Torreon, and their fans, this match is a derby, and so it is when they play against CF Monterrey^[4]. However, neither Monterrey-based teams take this match as a derby.

However, Mexican rules forbidded two teams to have the same name, so they were re-named as simply U de NL (in reference to the UANL which they represent, despite having just been privatized). They maintained the colors, but where moved to Saltillo. During these two seasons the two only brotherly clásicos, a derby played between the two Tigres teams, where played.

In 1998 they won the Primera División A Verano 1998, however they were not promoted to First Division, because they were defeated by CF Pachuca in the promotion game (between the champion of Verano and the champion of Invierno championships, today Verano has been changed to Clausura and Invierno has been changed to Apertura). Interestingly, CF Pachuca has defeated Tigres UANL in the First Division finals twice, creating a rivalry between CF Pachuca and Tigres UANL fans.

Due to the cost of maintaining the affiliate, in 2003, 'Tigrillos' moved to Mexico City under the administration of Club América and were called Tigrillos Coapa. This only lasted a year. Mexico City (in Spanish: Ciudad de México, México, D.F. or simply México) is the capital city of Mexico. ...
