Fútbol Club Juárez, commonly referred to as Bravos de Juárez, or simply as Bravos, is a Mexican football based in the city of Ciudad Juárez, Chihuahua that currently competes in the Ascenso MX.

History

Futbol Club Juárez was founded in 2015 by a group led by Alejandra de la Vega, which returned professional football to Ciudad Juárez since 2012 after Indios de Ciudad Juárez had very poor results and management and disappeared.[1]

On June 7, 2015, it was officially announced by Ascenso MX that F.C. Juárez would play in Ascenso MX starting in the Apertura 2015 season.

On December 5, 2015, after a very successful beginning season after being second place in the end of the Apertura 2015 season, FC Juarez gains its first Ascenso Mx title after beating Atlante FC on an aggregate of 3-1, thus gaining the right to play in the promotional final in the Ascenso MX. [2]
