'''Club Tijuana Xoloitzcuintles de Caliente''', simplified as '''Club Tijuana''', and also known as '''Xolos de Tijuana''', is a Mexican professional football club based in Tijuana, Baja California. The club competes in Liga MX, the top division of Mexican football, and plays its home matches at Estadio Caliente.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Tijuana |url=http://www.fmf.com.mx/tijuana.htm |access-date=2020-09-02 |archive-date=2021-02-25 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210225093920/http://www.fmf.com.mx/tijuana.htm |url-status=live }}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=LIGA MX - Página Oficial de la Liga Mexicana del Fútbol Profesional |url=https://ligamx.net/cancha/club/5/tijuana}}</ref> Founded in 2007, it competed in the second level division until 2011, when they won promotion to Liga MX.

Domestically, Club Tijuana has won one Liga MX title, obtaining it only a year and a half after their promotion.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.informador.mx/Deportes/Xolos-campeones-del-Apertura-2012-20121202-0035.html|title=Xolos, campeones del Apertura 2012|date=12 February 2012 }}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=http://xolos.com.mx/noticias/xoloitzcuintles/1667/historia-de-xitos.html|title=¡Historia de Éxitos!|access-date=2020-09-02|archive-date=2022-04-07|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220407035349/https://xolos.com.mx/noticias/xoloitzcuintles/1667/historia-de-xitos.html|url-status=live}}</ref>

On 21 May 2011, the club earned promotion to top division, winning the Campeón de Ascenso 2011 by defeating Irapuato 2–1 on aggregate.

==History== The club is the 2nd latest in a long line of league teams in the city of Tijuana. Gallos Caliente was instituted in the summer of 2006 but it disappeared that same year. Then some businessmen from Tijuana bought the Guerreros de Tabasco and moved it to Tijuana, becoming Club Tijuana Xoloitzcuintles de Caliente. The team and owner announced the construction of Estadio Caliente, a new stadium with a capacity for 33,333 people near Grupo Caliente's Agua Caliente Racetrack. Jorge Alberto Hank, the son of Jorge Hank Rhon, is the president of the team.

The team advanced to the Primera División de México with a win at home over Irapuato, 2–1 on May 21, 2011.<ref>{{cite web|title=Tijuana ya está en Primera División |last=Zamora |first=David |date=May 21, 2011 |work=Azteca Deportes |url=http://www.aztecadeportes.com/notas/futbol-mexicano/55302/tijuana-ya-esta-en-primera-division |access-date=May 21, 2011 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110723181410/http://www.aztecadeportes.com/notas/futbol-mexicano/55302/tijuana-ya-esta-en-primera-division |archive-date=July 23, 2011 }}</ref>

Jorge Alberto Hank and Gog Murguia Fernandez, the vice president, became the youngest executives in the history of Mexican first-tier football.

===The First Title=== [[File:Joaquín Alberto del Olmo Blanco.jpg|thumb|180px|Joaquín del Olmo promoted the club to Primera División de México in 2011.]] The team obtained its first title in the Apertura 2010 tournament, after having finished as general leader during the regular tournament, which gave them a direct pass to the semi-finals. In the semi-finals the Xolos faced Albinegros de Orizaba. In both semifinal legs, the Xolos and Albinegros finished 0–0, with the aggregate score 0–0 too. The position that the Xolos had during the regular tournament permitted them to pass to the final against the Tiburones Rojos de Veracruz. In the first leg the "Xolos" had a surprise 2–0 win in the Estadio Luis "Pirata" Fuente in Veracruz, while in their field they won again 1–0 and this way Tijuana obtained half a ticket towards the first tier of Mexican football, the Primera División Mexicana.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.terra.com.mx/liga_de_ascenso/articulo/1003336/Xolos+vence+2-0+a+Veracruz+y+tiene+la+mitad+del+campeonato.htm/ |archive-url=https://archive.today/20130219031621/http://www.terra.com.mx/liga_de_ascenso/articulo/1003336/Xolos+vence+2-0+a+Veracruz+y+tiene+la+mitad+del+campeonato.htm/ |url-status=dead |archive-date=February 19, 2013 |title=Xolos vence 2-0 a Veracruz y tiene la mitad del campeonato - Terra México |publisher=Terra.com.mx |access-date=2013-07-10 }}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.futboltotal.com.mx/bicentenario.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=8999&Itemid=0/ |title = No se encontró la página | Futbol Total |archive-url=https://archive.today/20130221061244/http://www.futboltotal.com.mx/bicentenario.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=8999&Itemid=0/ |archive-date=21 February 2013 |url-status=dead}}</ref> right|thumb|220px|The Tijuana Xoloitzcuintles played their first game in Mexico's Primera Division "We've just started". right|thumb|220px|Estadio Caliente's capacity was increased after the team's promotion.

===Promotion to Liga MX=== The final of the Clausura 2011 of the Liga de Ascenso was between Tijuana and Irapuato. The first leg was played on May 11 in Tijuana's stadium. The game finished 1–1. The second leg played was in Irapuato, in the Estadio Sergio León Chavez. Irapuato won the game 1–0, being crowned champion of the Clausura 2011 afterwards. With Tijuana winning the Apertura 2010 title, the Promotion Final was going to be, yet again, Tijuana vs Irapuato. The first leg was played in Irapuato on May 18 and it remained 0–0.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.terra.com.mx/articulo.aspx?articuloid=1113713/ |archive-url=https://archive.today/20120917192929/http://www.terra.com.mx/articulo.aspx?articuloid=1113713/ |url-status=dead |archive-date=2012-09-17 |title=Terra México - Noticias, Deportes, Entretenimiento y Estilo de Vida |publisher=Terra.com.mx |access-date=2013-07-10 }}</ref> Played in Tijuana's Estadio Caliente, the second leg saw the Club Tijuana being crowned champion of the Promotion Final with a result of 2–1.

Tijuana opened the 2011–12 season with a 2–1 home loss to Morelia. American Joe Corona scored the club's first top-flight goal in the defeat. They would earn their first victory as a top-flight club in a 3–1 victory at Santos Laguna on August 6; however, after five consecutive home matches without a victory manager Joaquin del Olmo was sacked and replaced by Antonio Mohamed.

After having finished the 2011 Apertura with just three wins against nine draws and five losses, Tijuana would have more success in the 2012 Clausura. Behind the league's top defense (allowing just 11 goals in 17 matches), Tijuana finished with seven wins and seven draws against just three defeats and earned their first playoff berth in the top flight, where they would fall to Monterrey.

===Apertura 2012 Champions=== Xolos continued their strong defense in the 2012–13 Liga MX season. In the 2012 Apertura, Xolos allowed joint-fewest goals with 15 while finishing tied atop the table with Toluca. Seeded #2 in the La liguilla, they would avenge the previous season's defeat to Monterrey before rallying from a 2–0 deficit against León in the semi-finals. They won the Liguilla over Toluca with a 4–1 aggregate victory, achieving the title in the shortest time after promotion to the top flight in Mexican history.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.utsandiego.com/news/2012/dec/02/believe-it-tijuana-mexican-champion/ |archive-url=https://archive.today/20121227184947/https://www.utsandiego.com/news/2012/dec/02/believe-it-tijuana-mexican-champion/ |url-status=dead |archive-date=2012-12-27 |title=Believe it: Tijuana Xolos are Mexican champs |publisher=UTSanDiego.com |date=2012-12-02 |access-date=2013-07-10 }}</ref>

Xolos faltered in the Clausura, finishing in 10th place, two points outside of Liguilla qualification. However, invited to Copa Libertadores, Tijuana made a run to the quarter-finals before falling to Atlético Mineiro.

==Stadium== {{Main|Estadio Caliente}}

The Estadio Caliente, a multi-use stadium in Tijuana, Baja California, was officially inaugurated on November 11, 2007, in a game between Club Tijuana and Pumas Morelos. The attendance was 13,333, then the stadium capacity. In July 2009, the capacity was increased to 16,000. Stadium owner Jorge Hank Rhon's main reason for constructing the stadium was his wish to have a professional football club in the city. Because the Mexican Football Federation says that teams participating in the First Division must have a stadium with a capacity over 15,000, Club Tijuana officially became qualified for promotion to the Primera División de México when the capacity was increased. The construction of the stadium was planned in two parts. The first part finished the ground and lower sections of the stadium. In the second phase, the stadium's capacity was increased.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.informador.mx/Mexico/SINTESIS-SEMANAL-Mexico-en-alerta-epidemiologica-por-brote-de-influenza-porcina-20090426-0157.html |title=SÍNTESIS SEMANAL: México, en alerta epidemiológica por brote de influenza porcina :: El Informador |work=EL INFORMADOR |publisher=Informador.com.mx |access-date=2013-07-10 |archive-date=2009-08-04 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090804044819/http://www.informador.com.mx/mexico/2009/98156/6/sintesis-semanal-mexico-en-alerta-epidemiologica-por-brote-de-influenza-porcina.htm |url-status=live }}</ref> Club Xoloitzcuintles added 4,000 seats to its home field of Estadio Caliente, pushing its capacity to 20,000, according to the team's management. The team also remodeled the players’ dressing rooms and resurfaced the dirt parking lot with a stone surface. Among the construction projects is the installation of stadium lights, which should not be an issue.<ref>http://www.noticiasmvs.com/noticias/deportes/FIFA-rechaza-a-Tijuana-como-sede-del-Sub-17.html {{dead link|date=August 2017 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}</ref>

==Finances and ownership== Controversy surrounded the lease, because the team would have ties to a company whose major business is that of betting on sports events, including football. The case was presented to high authorities in the Mexican Football Federation, where it was ruled that no action would be taken against Xoloitzcuintles De Caliente or its parent company.
