“We are so excited to welcome a top tier club like FC Juarez to the Land of Enchantment,” said New Mexico United President Ron Patel. “Los Bravos have an incredible fan base and have accomplished so much – including promotion to Liga MX – in their 10 seasons. We look forward to meeting their players on the pitch, and showing their fans a terrific time in New Mexico.”
“We are delighted to begin this relationship and play against our friends at New Mexico United,” said FC Juarez President Luis Rodriguez. For FC Juárez, it is a priority to promote its ties with soccer fans in Albuquerque in addition to having more of a presence in the Southwest U.S., we are the only major league sports franchise of any sport in a radius of 400 miles (from the El Paso region), so we want soccer fans in the Southwest to see Bravos as a true option to follow and support.”
Led by Avilés Hurtado’s six goals so far, los Bravos are underway in la Clausura 2024. They have bested clubs like Atlético de San Luis, Santos, and Puebla in the competition. The club was founded in 2015, and have impressed throughout their decade in the Mexican second and first divisions.
