CAMISETA DEL ATLETICO ESPAÑOL QUE AHORA ES EL NECAXA.
[Help from Daniel Rodriguez] Atletico Espanol Futbol Club exited from 1971 to 1982.
in 1971 a group of rich Spanish, bought the Necaxa Franchise, becuase Necaxa wasnt doing so good, they changed the colors to black and white and the name.
In the 1972-1973 season they made it to the semi-final loosing to Club Leon, 5-4, after playing 2 games and a penalty kick off.
In the 1973-1974 seasons the made it to the final against Cruz Azul, the first game Atletico Espanol won 2-1, but in the second game against Cruz Azul they lost 3-0, loosing the title, and becomeing "Sub-Campeon".
In 1975 they won their first Internacional Title on the Copa de Campeones CONCACAF, beating Transvaal from Surinam, the score was 5-1.
By the end of the late 70's and early 80's they didnt not have much success, and in July of 1982 the derectives of the team decided to bring back the old Club Necaxa and changed its colors back to red and white, and changed its name to Club Necaxa, at first they did not have much success, the fans were already used to Atletico Espanol.
