Club Deportivo Oro, simplified as CD Oro, is a Mexican professional football club based in Tonalá, Jalisco. It competes in the Tercera División de México, the bottom level division of Mexican football, and plays its home matches at the Unidad Deportiva Revolución Mexicana. Founded in 1923, it was one of five clubs from the state of Jalisco to play in the Primera División de México.
Domestically, CD Oro has won one Primera División title and one Campeón de Campeones.
History
[edit]Origins
[edit]The club's history dates back to 1923, when a group of jewelers got together and founded the club to promote their company. The club joined the old Liga Occidental de Jalisco. Albino Ruvalcaba and Felipe Martínez Sandoval were the ones that really took on the idea of making this club worthy of playing in the Primera División de México.
Back then there was no national league, but instead numerous amateur leagues across Mexico. Liga Amateur de Jalisco was one of the best at the time. It consisted of clubs such as Guadalajara, Atlas, Club Nacional de Guadalajara, Club Marte, Club Latino, Club Colón and Club Oriente. It took Club Oro a few years to establish a higher level of play, thus it was considered a weak team in the early 1930s. On July 20, 1930, the club inaugurated its new field Parque Oro, o Parque Oblatos in a friendly match against the Mexico City-based Necaxa. This new football field was used by most of the clubs at that time and was considered to be the best field in the state of Jalisco.[citation needed]
By 1933, there were nine clubs in the league and different categories were formed. There were two categories, a Categoría "A" and a Categoría "B", that were similar to a first and second division. The Categoría "A" was composed by Guadalajara, Atlas, Club Nacional de Guadalajara, Club Marte and Club Latino, while the Categoría "B" was composed by Club Colón, Oriente, Imperio and CD Oro due to the inferior level of these teams compared to those in the Categoría "A" .
Professional era
[edit]In 1943, when the professional football era began in Mexico, CD Oro missed the opportunity to join the league, however other teams in the Guadalajara metropolitan area region such as Guadalajara and Atlas did get an invitation that year. CD Oro saw this event as a wake-up call to get an invitation into the professionalism. CD Oro was finally invited to take part of the 1944–45 tournament along with Puebla and León, both teams had been taking part in other amateur leagues in Mexico. At the end of the 1948 tournament, the club finished tied in first place along with León and so a series was played in order to determine the 1948 champion. The first match ended up in a 0–0 draw, the second match was won by León who took their first league title with a 2–0 victory.
1948 runner-up squad under player/coach Pablo "Pablotas" González: Luis Bernabé Heredia, Agapito Perales, "Negro" Barba, Manuel "Molestias" Núñez, Santiago Piola Mendoza, Florentino Palma, Antonio "Roque" Ruiz Pizano, José "Chepe" Naranjo, Roberto "Chango" Zárate, Delfino Vázquez and Benjamín "Bailarina" Méndez; also playing with the during the season were Benito Heredia and Jesús "Pelón" Silva.
At the end of the 1956 tournament, CD Oro and León finished tied once again at first place and so a championship series was played. CD Oro kicked off the game by scoring a goal in the 2nd minute of play by Vigo, but León's Marcos Aurelio tied the game shortly after. CD Oro took a 2–1 lead before half-time when Chepe Naranjo scored. The second half was dominated by León; they scored 3 goals and won the title once again.
CD Oro 1956 runner-up squad: Raúl Córdoba, Narciso "Chicho" López, Ramón "Cepillo" Soto, Jesús "Tejón" García, Sabino "Sabú" Morales, Evelio Alpizar, Luis "Negro" Vázquez, José "Chepe" Naranjo, Walter Meneses, José Vigo and Rafael Valek.
First title 1962
[edit]The club won its first and only league title in the 1962–63 tournament over Guadalajara and snapped a four-year streak of winning the league title. In the final game of the tournament it would be as if it was set up to be with this two clubs to meet each other.[citation needed] Guadalajara would only have to tie in order to take that title having a one-point advantage on CD Oro. The final and decisive match was played on December 20, 1962 at the Estadio Jalisco, which was inaugurated just a few years before. The game ended-up 0–0 at half time. The second half continued tough until the minute 70 when the Brazilian player "Neco" from Club Oro scored the only goal in the match, giving CD Oro its first title. It was celebrated by the younger CD Oro team who had tied earlier that night led by Malaciaz Castilo and Mario García (both were young developing players).
1962 Championship squad: Antonio "Piolín" Mota; Germán "Tamal" Ascensio, Luis Llamas, Adhemar Barsellos, Víctor Chavira, Rogelio González Navarro, Felipe "El Pipis" Ruvalcaba, Jorge "Tepo" Rodríguez, Amaury Epaminondas, Manoel Tavares "Neco", Nicola Gravina, José Luis "Zurdo" Pérez and Raul Orozco (center defense number 4).
Relegation 1970s
[edit]In 1969, the club finished last in the league tied with Jabatos de Nuevo León. A two-game series was played and after 180 minutes the score stayed at 0–0 and so a final third game was played to untie relegation. In that third game, both clubs seemed tired and it was not until the end of the match when Bernardino Brambila scored the only game in the match for Oro, thus Oro avoided relegation.
The following year, the club once again finished in last place, this time avoiding relegation because the Federación Mexicana de Fútbol (FMF) decided to increase the number of clubs in the Primera División from 18 to 20 and so Club Oro was spared, Puebla and Zacatepec were promoted from the Segunda División de México.
In 1970, the club was sold due to financial problems and the new owners changed the name of the club to Club Social y Deportivo Jalisco, but kept the original club's yellow and blue colors. The club began activities in 1970 playing its first game under the name Club Social y Deportivo Jalisco. The club finished in 2nd place, with 5 points behind the eventual champions Toluca. In the 1971–72 tournament, the club failed to qualify to the playoffs with 9 points in 8th place. In the 1972–73 tournament, the club finished in last place in its group. In the 1973–74 and 1975–76 seasons, the club finished in last place in the table.
In the 1976–77 season,[1] the club finished in 12th place overall with 7 points behind Club de Fútbol Laguna, who earned the last playoffs spot. The club won 10 games tied 14 and lost 14 out of 38, scoring 58 and allowing 59, finishing with 44 points. The Chilean Osvaldo Castro led the club with 17 goals score.
In the 1977–78 season,[2] the club once again failed to qualify finishing in 12th place overall with just 4 points behind Atlético Español who earned the last playoff spot. The club had a record of 5–29–4, scoring only 19 goals and allowing only 18.
In the 1978–79 season,[3] the club finished in 17th place overall with 39 points, 6 more than the last place Toros Neza with a record of 5 wins, 24 draws and 9 losses, scoring 25 goals and allowing 34.
In the 1979–80 tournament, the club finished tied in last place along with Unión de Curtidores, and so the clubs had to play a relegation series; Unión de Curtidores came out with a 4–3 victory keeping its place in the Primera División. CD Oro ended up being relegated and has not been able to return to the Primera División ever since.
1980s–2011
[edit]The club played in the Segunda División de México during most of the 1980s, coming close to its possible promotion back to the Primera División in 1984 when they lost the final to Zacatepec.
During 1995 and 1998 seasons, Arq. Rodríguez, along with the support of syndicate of Cañeros de Jalisco revived the club once again in the Segunda División by renaming the team to Oro Jalisco, coming close to its second possible promotion back to the Primera División after losing the final to Cachorros de la UdeG.
In 2004, the club once again was revived in the Segunda División playing under the name of Club Deportivo Oro, but was later sold to Jorge Vergara who relocated to club to San Rafael where they played under the name of Chivas San Rafael.
In 2008, the club rejoined the Segunda División after ex-Oros players Sergio Villalobos and Ariel Villalobos Domínguez bought the club.
There were rumors that CD Oro would join the Liga de Ascenso de México in 2011 or 2012.[citation needed]
2012–2013
[edit]During the Clausura 2012 league of the Segunda División, the club gained much media attention after signing Mexican soccer player Ramón Morales as the team manager. Despite having great success,[citation needed] he left the club in good terms after six months to coach the Guadalajara U-17 team. Arriving to fill the manager position during the Apertura 2013 season was the former Chilean international and América player, Reinaldo Navia. While also having successful season,[citation needed] Navia left the manager position with 3 games left in the season due to differences with the ownership group. [4][5]
