Pachuca

"Nació en el año de 1900 y tiene el honor de ser el primer equipo del fútbol en México. Fue fundado por mineros ingleses de la compañía "Real del Monte", quienes llegaron a Pachuca y crearon un equipo con el nombre de Pachuca Athletic Club."

Guatemala had teams that were founded in the 1900 but they later dissapeared around the 1950 and later. I think Universidad de San Carlos is the oldest at the moment founded in 1924 I think. We have other teams mostly founded in the 20's 30's and 40's.

The earliest clubs in the Concacaf region were seen in American collegiate schools. Rutgers and Princeton played the 1st ever soccer official soccer match back in the late 1960s. Their football gradually evolved into rugby then American football. (source - NFL website). Canadian organizations also played similar games that resembled soccer around the same time.

As far as clubs that still exist today, Pachuca is given the nickname, "cradle of Mexican soccer". They were born in 1900, but formed in 1901. HOWEVER, some historians in Mexico believe that A.D.O. (Orizaba) was the first club in Mexico.

IMO, common sense and migration patterns in Mexico lead me to beleive that Orizaba was in fact the 1st club. Orizaba is in the state of Veracruz which is near the gulf coast. There is a lot of English architecture and influence there and it just would appear that English textile workers and seamen would play soccer there in their spare time.

sorry about that gentlemen, just came to my attention that I wrote 1960, rather than 1860.

As far as my sources here they are..

1869
Rutgers and Princeton played a college soccer football game, the first ever, November 6. The game used modified London Football Association rules. During the next seven years, rugby gained favor with the major eastern schools over soccer, and modern football began to develop from rugby

Just what form Association Football, or soccer, took in Canada in the early years of the game is hard to determine. Even in Britain before the formation of The Football Association in 1863, teams played to a variety of rules, and the same would have been true in Canada. A game was played in Toronto in 1859 between the St. George's Society and a team of Irishmen. Games were played in New Westminster in 1862 and in Victoria in 1865. But in the lack of evidence to the contrary, the game in Canada as we know it today has it's roots in a game played in Toronto in 1876. Much more research into the history of the game all across the country needs to be done, but in the meantime the following time line traces some of the highs and lows in the history of soccer in Canada.

1876 - First game played under "London Association Rules" between teams representing the Toronto Lacrosse Club and the Carlton Cricket Club takes place on Parliament Street in Toronto. The term London Association refers to The Football Association of England formed in London, England in 1863, who developed the first standard set of rules.
