History of Club Calor
How Calor Started
Club Calor began in 2001. It was first known as El Calor de San Pedro. The team was located in San Pedro, Coahuila. They played in the Tercera División de México. This league is one of the lower divisions in Mexican football. The team's goal was to help players from a local league get better.
In 2012, Calor almost won the Tercera División. They finished as runner-up, losing to Real Cuautitlán. But because they did so well, they were moved up to the Segunda División de México. This was a higher league.
Moving to New Cities
In August 2012, Calor started playing in the Liga de Nuevos Talentos. This was the second level of the Segunda División. The team played well enough to stay in this league.
In July 2013, the club moved to Gómez Palacio, Durango. They had to move because their original town could not meet the league's rules. The team was then called Calor de Gómez Palacio. Their new home field was the Unidad Deportiva Francisco Gómez Palacio.
In the Clausura 2017 tournament, Calor again finished as runner-up. They were defeated by Yalmakán F.C. in the final.
In 2018, the team moved again, this time to Monclova, Coahuila. This was their third home city. The team's name changed to Club Calor. When they arrived in Monclova, there were plans to build a new football stadium for them.
Challenges and Big Wins
During the 2020–2021 season, the team took a break for one year. This was to fix their money and sports plans. The COVID-19 pandemic caused problems for many football teams in Mexico. Calor also wanted to get ready to play in an even higher league, the Liga Premier – Serie A.
In the summer of 2021, the team returned to play. At the end of the Apertura tournament, Club Calor reached the championship final. They were defeated by Aguacateros C.D. Uruapan.
In the Apertura 2022 tournament, Club Calor won their first official championship! They beat Alebrijes de Oaxaca Premier with a score of 3–2. In May 2023, the club was promoted to the Liga Premier – Serie A. They got the special permission needed to play in that league.
Recent Moves
In 2024, the team returned to Serie B. This was because their stadium in Monclova needed improvements. Since they didn't have a stadium there, the team tried to move to León, Guanajuato. They already had a reserve team there. However, the league did not allow this move. This made some fans unhappy. Finally, for the 2024–25 season, the team settled in San Juan de los Lagos, Jalisco.
In June 2025, the team moved from San Juan de los Lagos to Reynosa, Tamaulipas. This move happened because another team in Reynosa offered an alliance. Also, Reynosa has better sports and city facilities, which will help Calor return to Serie A.
