Toros Neza was a Mexican soccer team that played in the city of Nezahualcóyotl between 1993 and 2000.

[edit] History

Toros Neza was promoted after winning the championship of the Segunda Division in the 1992-93 season (under the name "Toros de la Universidad Tecnológica de Neza") to the Primera División de México in the 1993-94 season as Toros Neza, taking the place of Pachuca who had been relegated from Primera División de México.

Their most symbolic player was Antonio Mohamed. Some of his teammates were Jorg Thomas, from Switzerland, and Jesus Lopez Menezes. In the 1993-1994 season they finished 12th and the next season some reinforcements arrived, such as Pablo Larios and Juan de Dios Ramirez Perales, their leader still being Antonio Mohamed.

By 1995-1996, Martin Villalonga arrived with Federico Lussenhoff, Silvio Rudman and Christian Trapasso, when they played an excellent season with Antonio Mohamed and finished in the 8th place of the league championship, a very good spot for a team that was only three years old.

Their best season was in 1996-1997, when they finished second, losing to Guadalajara in the championship game.
