'''Club Deportivo Irapuato''' is a Mexican professional [[Association football|football]] club based in [[Irapuato]], [[Guanajuato]], that currently competes in [[Liga Premier de México|Liga Premier]], the third level division of [[Mexican football league system|Mexican football]].
It was the first football club founded in Guanajuato by Pedro Parnu and Diego Mosqueda in 1911. Throughout its history the club was also named as '''Real Irapuato''' (2002–2004), '''Club Irapuato Por Siempre''' (2008–2013) and '''Club Atlético Irapuato''' (2019–2020). 

Irapuato has mostly played in the Promotion League of Mexico (formerly Primera División A or [[Ascenso MX]]. From 2000 to 2004, the team briefly rose to prominence in the [[Liga MX]] reaching the playoffs. Historically, Irapuato has spent over 26 years in the Primera División, never quite excelling to challenge for the title.

The team was relegated from the Primera División in 2004 but not because of their on-field performance, but because of financial irregularities. In 2013, the team then took a turn for the worse being relegated to [[Liga Premier de Ascenso|Liga Premier]], the Third Division of Mexico for a year.

The team briefly returned to [[Ascenso MX]] in May 2014 when [[Club de Futbol Ballenas Galeana Morelos|Ballenas Galeana]], decided to move to Irapuato, and also change their name to [[Club Irapuato]], once again giving [[Irapuato]] a football team.
But that team was relegated too after a couple of mediocre seasons to [[Liga Premier de Ascenso|Liga Premier]], where they play to this day.

==History==
[[File:Irapuatofc.jpg|thumb|right|270px|Club Deportivo Internacional de Irapuato in 1921]]
The club dates back to 1910 in the city of Irapuato where a club was founded under the name '''Club Mutualista Irapuatense''' by Pedro Garnu and by Diego Mosqueda who was an important person in the sports development in the city, and would later go on to establish the club's rival [[Club León]] in the 1920s. In its first years many clubs were formed in order to create a futbol league in [[Guanajuato]] Deportivo Irapuato, Internacional, Club Marte, ISCO and [[Club León]] inaugurated the league in 1925.

The first tournament was won by Club Marte because the tournament was not finished due to problems between [[Irapuato]] and ISCO. In 1928 the club reached the final and played it against Deportivo Internacional; the club's squad was made up by Kurt Lenk as keeper Antonio Aguilar and José Núñez playing defender Julián Ramírez, Francisco Belman and Salvador Silva in the mid field and Antonio "El Gato" Baltazar, Crisoforo Juárez, Secundino Alvarado, Teofilo and Juan Aguilera playing as forwards. The club came out with a 1–0 victory, winning its first league title. This club wore a white shirt with black shorts and socks.

The club that plays today under the name '''Club Deportivo Irapuato''' was founded in 1948 where it had trouble staying in the league. in the late 1940s there were various clubs that represented the city of [[Irapuato]] and it was until 1948 when they decide to merge in order to become more competitive and so they did and join the [[Segunda División de México|Second division]] in 1949. The men in charge of the merge were  '''[[Oscar Bonfiglio]]''' and '''Jesús Vaca Gaona''' both had participated in the [[1928 Summer Olympics|1928 Olympic games]] in [[Amsterdam]]. The club would once again change its name this time to Club Deportivo Irapuato A.C which many people believe to be the date when the club was established.

===After promotional final===
[[File:Irapuato 2012.jpg|300px|right|thumb|Irapuato during the 2012-13 Season]]
*Apertura 2011: The league reduced the teams to 16. Cuauhtémoc Blanco didn't play some games due to injury, but they still finished in 5th place. However, they were eliminated in the Quarterfinals by their rivals [[Club León|Leon]].
*Clausura 2012: The league reduced the teams once again to 15 teams. Cuauhtémoc Blanco was released from the team due to injury issues and a bad season. They earned 14 points and finished in 12th place after they didn't win in their final 5 games.

When the season was over, the federation was owed 3 million for Cuauhtémoc Blanco. On 15 December, they had a 65% chance of being dissolved. The team was relocated to [[Morelos]] and renamed [[Zacatepec]] beginning next season.

===Third disappearance and played in Segunda Division===
After Clausura 2013, Irapuato finished in the bottom 5 of the standings and the team was moved to [[Zacatepec]], [[Morelos]] and were rebranded to [[Zacatepec|Zacatepec 1948]]. [[Union de Curtidores]] was rumored to be moving into the city of Irapuato to replace the dissolved franchise there, but the owner of Union decided to keep the team in Leon after getting approval to play their home games in [[Estadio Nou Camp]]. However, some time after a franchise from [[Querétaro FC]] was purchased to the team was revived in [[Segunda Division de Mexico]] playing in the [[Liga Premier]] for the Apertura 2013.

The franchise came to join the Copa de la Liga Premier de Ascenso Apertura 2013, where they reached the final against Cruz Azul Jasso and lost 1–0 on aggregate, so Irapuato was runner-up. At the end of the tournament the franchise returned to Querétaro, because of the restructuring that occurred in Grupo Delfines, which decided that the team that played in the Apertura 2013 at [[Estadio Sergio León Chávez]] as Irapuato, would return to their roots to play either at [[Estadio Corregidora]] or La Cañada.

===Return to Ascenso MX and third reappearance===

Furthermore, circulated a letter from the President of the Civil Association Club Irapuato, J. Concepcion Director and Enrique Enriquez Bonilla, secretary general of Ascenso MX, where the AC are declared owners of the brand name and badge Irapuato equipment. [[Club de Futbol Ballenas Galeana Morelos|Ballenas Morelos]] was sold and moved to [[Irapuato]] and named Club Irapuato.

===Fourth disappearance and returns to Liga Premier===
[[File:Tepatitlan-vs-Irapuato.jpg|thumb|right|270px|Tepatitlan vs. Irapuato on October 29, 2016]]

Tepatitlán de Morelos|Club Tepatitlán]].

===Club Deportivo Irapuato ===
On 30 July 2020, the club was renamed Club Deportivo Irapuato after Grupo Temachalco took possession of the franchise.<ref>{{cite web |last1=Zúñiga |first1=Octavio |title=El Irapuato AC tomará el lugar del Atlético Irapuato en la Liga Premier de la segunda división |url=https://zonafranca.mx/deportes/el-irapuato-ac-tomara-el-lugar-del-atletico-irapuato-en-la-liga-premier-de-la-segunda-division/ |website=Zona Franca |date=30 July 2020 |access-date=30 July 2020 |language=es}}</ref> At the end of the season, the team won its third Second Division championship after defeating [[Cruz Azul Hidalgo]] 1–3 on the aggregate scoreboard.<ref>{{cite web |last1=Martínez Villar |first1=Enrique |title=¡Otro subcampeón!

At first it was reported that Irapuato was promoted after the Liga Premier championship.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.mediotiempo.com/futbol/trinca-expansion-irapuato-campeon-liga-premier|title=¡La Trinca es de Expansión!

On 5 July 2021, it was confirmed that no team undergoing the certification audit approved the procedure, so there will be no club promoted from the Liga Premier, for this reason the promotion of Irapuato was frustrated by administrative issues of the club and regulations of the league.<ref>{{cite web |title=La FMF informa acerca de la posible participación de un tercer equipo de la Liga Premier como invitado en la Liga de Expansión MX |url=https://fmf.mx/Noticia/23596 |website=fmf.mx |publisher=[[Mexican Football Federation]] |access-date=5 July 2021 |language=es |date=5 July 2021}}</ref>

Therefore, the club announced that it would continue to participate in Serie A and began a process to form a new roster of players,<ref>{{cite web |title=Irapuato: La Trinca sí participará en próxima temporada de Liga Premier |url=https://www.record.com.mx/futbol-noticias-futbol-nacional/irapuato-la-trinca-si-participara-en-proxima-temporada-de-liga |website=Récord |access-date=16 October 2021 |language=es |date=23 August 2021}}</ref> however, at the end of August 2021 Grupo Tecamachalco transferred the franchise to local businessmen to ensure its continuity and avoid promotion problems for the club, this after Fernando San Román, CEO of Tecamachalco, was sanctioned by Femexfut and the company decided to seek the purchase of a football team in [[Costa Rica]].<ref>{{cite web |last1=De la Cruz |first1=Luis |title=Liga MX: Familia San Román donó franquicia de Irapuato y se 'muda' al fútbol de Costa Rica |url=https://www.soyfutbol.com/ligas/Liga-MX-Familia-San-Roman-dono-franquicia-de-Irapuato-y-se-muda-al-futbol-de-Costa-Rica-20210906-0016.html |website=Soy Fútbol |access-date=16 October 2021 |language=es |date=6 September 2021}}</ref>

However, at the end of August 2021, the Irapuato city council denied the use of the Estadio Sergio León Chávez to the club due to breach of the agreement signed between the team and the government, since a clause of the agreement stipulated that the team should be promoted to the Liga de Expansión MX for the 2021–22 season, something that could not be fulfilled.<ref>{{cite web |last1=Reyes Ramírez |first1=Gamaliel |title=Irapuato ya no jugará en el Sergio León Chávez |url=https://paginacentral.com.mx/irapuato-ya-no-jugara-en-el-sergio-leon-chavez/ |website=Página Central |access-date=16 October 2021 |language=es |date=25 August 2021}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |last1=Gutiérrez |first1=Eribaldo |title=Fútbol Irapuato: niegan Sergio León Chávez a los San Román |url=https://www.am.com.mx/guanajuato/noticias/Futbol-Irapuato-niegan-Sergio-leon-Chavez-a-los-San-Roman-20210824-0062.html |website=Periódico AM |access-date=16 October 2021 |language=es |date=24 August 2021}}</ref> After this fact, the new board sought to establish the team in a city near Irapuato while the city council negotiated with the owners of [[Alebrijes de Oaxaca]] for the arrival of a new franchise that would continue the football in the city. Finally, neither the club nor the city council managed to close the negotiations, so on 10 September it was announced that the team went into hiatus, so it does not dispute any competition during the season.<ref>{{cite web |last1=Cisneros |first1=Fernando |title=San Román deja sin futbol a Irapuato |url=https://www.elsoldeirapuato.com.mx/deportes/san-roman-deja-sin-futbol-a-irapuato-7173310.html |website=El Sol de Irapuato |access-date=11 September 2021 |language=es |date=4 September 2021}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |title="Se hizo todo lo posible, pero al final no se pudo" Chacón |url=https://notus.com.mx/se-hizo-todo-lo-posible-pero-al-final-no-se-pudo-chacon/ |website=Notus |access-date=11 September 2021 |language=es |date=10 September 2021}}</ref>

After two years of absence, the team was reestablished in June 2023, keeping the name Club Deportivo Irapuato and returning to play in the Liga Premier – Serie A.<ref>{{cite web |last1=Cisneros |first1=Fernando |title=Oficial, se registra el Club Deportivo Irapuato en la Liga Premier |url=https://www.elsoldeirapuato.com.mx/deportes/futbol/oficial-se-registra-el-club-deportivo-irapuato-en-la-liga-premier-10296580.html |website=El Sol de Irapuato |access-date=1 July 2023 |language=es |date=29 June 2023}}</ref> Under that era, the team won the Serie A championship in the [[2024–25 Serie A de México season#Torneo Clausura|2025 Clausura tournament]].<ref>{{cite web |title=¡Irapuato es Campeón del Clausura 2025 de Liga Premier Serie A! |url=https://deportedigital.mx/irapuato-es-campeon-del-clausura-2025-de-liga-premier-serie-a |website=DXT Digital |access-date=20 June 2025 |language=es |date=10 May 2025}}</ref>

Following that victory, the team began to be considered as a candidate for an invitation to participate in the Liga de Expansión MX. This invitation became effective on June 19, 2025, when Irapuato's entry into that league as a guest team was confirmed.<ref>{{cite web |title=Asamblea de la Liga BBVA Expansión MX aprobó calendario de competencia para el Torneo Apertura 2025. |url=https://x.com/LigaMXExpansion/status/1935788291489484871 |website=Liga BBVA Expansión MX on X |access-date=19 June 2025 |language=es |date=19 June 2025}}</ref>

==Nickname==
The nickname "Trinca Fresera", which means "Strawberry Lashers", originates from the year 1949, when the team got an invitation to Play teams such as [[C.F. La Piedad|La Piedad]], [[Club Leon|Leon]], and the Brazilian Team [[CR Vasco da Gama|Vasco da Gama]]. The Games would Take Place in The Estadio de la Ciudad de Los Deportes now known as [[Estadio Azul]] in Mexico City.
Vasco da Gama had a very good Offence, in that time it was known as "la trinca infernal" the term trinca, utilized in that time as a reference for 3, trinca infernal referenced Vasco da Gama's Offence which had 3 very agile, quick men.
Don Agustín González Escopeta, Master of the Sport Commentary, Watched the Match between Irapuato and La Piedad, chronically the Leon vs Vasco match was on and He said: "si el Vasco da Gama es una trinca infernal, el Irapuato es la trinca fresera" ¡que bonito juegan!, which meant "If Vasco da Gama are the Infernal Lashers then Irapuato are the Strawberry Lashers ¡boy they play nice!" .
It was then that don Agustín González Escopeta, Baptized Irapuato as la trinca fresera, To this date in any Stadium they enter the fans identify them as la trinca fresera del Irapuato.
