The Osos competed in the Central Division of the [Liga de Fútbol Americano Profesional](/source/Liga_de_F%C3%BAtbol_Americano_Profesional), the top American football league in Mexico. During its existence, the team never made it to playoffs. ## History The team was founded on 4 September 2018, as the second team of the 2019 Liga de Fútbol Americano Profesional expansion (the other being the [Artilleros](/source/Artilleros_Puebla)), and the eight team overall in the LFA.[1] The name of the team refers to the [mexican grizzly bear](/source/Mexican_grizzly_bear), today extinct. As a curious fact, [Toluca](/source/Toluca) already had two sports teams with the name of Osos (Spanish for "bears"): a baseball team, Osos Negros de Toluca (Toluca Black Bears) and a football team, Osos Grises (Gray Bears); both teams are now defunct. On 17 September 2018, Horacio García Aponte, college national champion in 2017 with [Borregos Salvajes Toluca](/source/Borregos_Salvajes_Toluca), was named head coach of the team.[2] In their debut season, the team won only two games, finishing the regular season with a 2–6 record and as the last overall classified team. In July 2020, head coach Horacio García left the team.[3] The team folded in January 2022, prior to the beginning of the [2022 LFA season](/source/2022_LFA_season).[4] ## Stadium The Osos played their home games at the Universidad Siglo XXI. The university's field was conditioned with stands so it could seat 4,000 people.[5] ## Season-by-season Season Head coach Regular season Postseason Won Lost Win % Finish Won Lost Win % Result 2019 Horacio García 2 6 .250 4th (North) – – – – 2020 Horacio García 1 4 .200 4th (Central) Post season not held 2021 Season cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic Total 3 10 .230 – – – ## Notable players *See [Category:Osos de Toluca players](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Osos_de_Toluca_players)* ## References 1. **[^](#cite_ref-1)** ["Osos de Toluca, la nueva franquicia de la LFA"](http://lfa.mx/osos-de-toluca-la-nueva-franquicia-de-la-lfa/) (in Spanish).
