Juarez gets Liga MX team as Lobos BUAP announce move

Liga MX is returning to Juarez, though perhaps not in the way fans would've expected.

The city on the border with El Paso, Texas, hasn't had a first-division team since Indios went down after the Bicentenario 2010 tournament. A second-division side known as FC Juarez launched in 2015, falling just short of promotion on a number of occasions and finishing as the Copa MX runner-up this year.

That club, or at least a club with the same Bravos de Juarez identity, will play in Liga MX from the 2019 Apertura with Lobo BUAP moving north to assume their identity.
