Chivas De Guadalajara

Club Deportivo Guadalajara; often simply known as Guadalajara, and popularly known as Chivas, is a Mexican professional football club based in Guadalajara, Jalisco. On a tour of Europe Everaert noticed that European teams named after their respective town or city seemed to generate more support from fans in their communities. So in 1908 with the approval of Everaert and the players Club de Futbol Union was renamed as Club Deportivo Guadalajara to engender a sense of loyalty within the city's population. In 1908 it was also decided that the team would only field Mexican-born players because of the growing sense of oppression Mexican nationals felt towards non-Mexican nationals. Following the aftermath of the Mexican Revolution amateur football tournaments throughout the country flourished and Guadalajara was always involved.
