Fútbol Club Juárez, commonly referred to as Bravos de Juárez, or simply as Juárez, is a Mexican football club based in the city of Ciudad Juárez, Chihuahua that currently competes in the Ascenso MX.
Futbol Club Juárez was founded in 2015 by a group led by Alejandra de la Vega; marking the return of professional soccer to Ciudad Juárez for the first time since 2012, after the previous franchise, Indios de Ciudad Juárez, ended up being relegated from Liga MX, suffered from poor management and was ultimately disbanded.
On June 7, 2015, it was officially announced by Ascenso MX officials that F.C. Juárez would compete in Ascenso MX, beginning in the Apertura 2015 season.
On December 5, 2015, after a very successful beginning to the season, the team ended the 2015 campaign in second place, and FC Juarez captured its first Ascenso MX title after beating Atlante 3-1 on aggregate, thus gaining the right to play in the promotional final in the Ascenso MX.
FC Juárez play their home matches at the Estadio Olímpico Benito Juárez in Ciudad Juárez, Chihuahua. Stadium attendance is capped at 19,765, and it's owned by Universidad Autónoma de Ciudad Juárez. The stadium was opened October 1980, with an inaugural match between the Mexico national team and Atlético Español.
