Deportiva Venados is a football club that plays in the Liga Premier de México – Serie A. It is based in the city of Mérida, Mexico.
History
[edit]The team was founded in 2014 to recover the tradition of teams that had previously represented Mérida in Mexican soccer such as Atlético Yucatán and Venados de Yucatán, because the main team of the region had adopted the name of Mérida,[2] although during its first season it was registered as a subsidiary team of Mérida F.C.
In 2015 the team officially adopted the name Deportiva Venados.[3]
In the 2021–22 season the team was promoted to the Liga Premier de México – Serie A after defeating C.D. Avispones de Chilpancingo in the promotion playoff.[4] Previously the team had eliminated clubs Álamos, Inter Playa del Carmen, Caballeros de Córdoba and Delfines UGM. However, the team failed to win the national championship as it was defeated in the final by Mazorqueros F.C.[5]
Stadium
[edit]Deportiva Venados plays its home games at Estadio Alonso Diego Molina located in the town of Tamanché, belonging to the city of Mérida, Yucatán. It has a capacity to hold 2,500 spectators.[6]
