'''Club Deportivo Cruz Azul Hidalgo''', also known as '''Cruz Azul Hidalgo''', was a professional football club in Mexico who last played in the [[Liga Premier de México|Liga Premier]] league of Mexico. Their stadium was the [[Estadio 10 de Diciembre]] located in '''Ciudad Cooperativa Cruz Azul''' (previously the name of the town was [[Jasso, Hidalgo|Jasso]]) in [[Hidalgo (state)|Hidalgo]] and was the affiliate team of [[Cruz Azul]]. The team dissolved in 2014 after [[Zacatepec|Zacatepec 1948]] bought their spot to remain in [[Ascenso MX]].<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.mediotiempo.com/futbol/mexico/noticias/2014/05/19/desaparecera-cruz-azul-hidalgo-jasso-el-nuevo-semillero|title = Desaparecerá Cruz Azul Hidalgo; Jasso, el nuevo semillero}}</ref> But had a team in the [[Liga Premier de Ascenso]], replace [[Cruz Azul Jasso]].

==History==
===Early times===
The team began its professional activity in the [[Liga TDP|Tercera División]], in 1990 it achieved the runner-up in the category and managed to be promoted to Second Division "B". In 1994 the team won its promotion to the [[Liga Premier de México|Segunda Division 'A']], however, that year a remodeling of Mexican football was presented with the creation of the [[Ascenso MX|Primera División 'A']], so Cruz Azul Hidalgo was invited to the new Segunda División, which became the third tier of the Mexican league system. In the first season in the Second Division, Cruz Azul Hidalgo won the championship of the season and the promotion to Primera 'A' after defeating [[Leones Negros UdeG|Bachilleres]]. 

===Ascenso MX===
In the [[1998–99_Primera_División_A_season#Verano_1999|Verano 1999]] and [[1999–2000_Primera_División_A_season#Verano_2000|Verano 2000]] tournaments of the Primera División A, the club finished as runner-up in the league, being defeated by [[Unión de Curtidores]] and [[C.D. Irapuato|Irapuato]] respectively.

In 2003, the team was moved to [[Oaxaca City|Oaxaca]], [[Oaxaca]] and renamed [[Cruz Azul Oaxaca]], in this location the team was runner-up in the [[2005–06_Primera_División_A_season#Apertura_2005|2005 Apertura Tournament]], being defeated by [[Club Puebla|Puebla]], in 2006 the team was moved back to [[Hidalgo (state)|Hidalgo]]. In 2006, [[Cruz Azul Jasso]] was created as the institution's third team, participating in the Segunda División.

After 2006 the team consolidated itself in the league, qualifying for the play–offs on a regular basis, and continuing its participation even when the league eliminated the reserve teams from Liga MX. As of 2012 the team began to have problems in the relegation table, ensuring its permanence in the final part of the seasons. 

In 2014, the team was bought by the owners of [[Atlético Zacatepec|Zacatepec 1948]], who used the franchise to give continuity to their team in the Ascenso MX.<ref>{{cite web |last1=García |first1=Vito |title=Exclusiva: Cruz Azul Hidalgo desaparece para convertirse en Zacatepec |url=https://www.goal.com/es-mx/news/4781/ascenso-mx/2014/05/15/4820482/exclusiva-cruz-azul-hidalgo-desaparece-para-convertirse-en |website=Goal |access-date=18 June 2021 |language=es |date=15 May 2014}}</ref>

===Liga Premier de México===
After the sale of the Cruz Azul Hidalgo franchise to Zacatepec, the Cruz Azul Jasso, which played in the [[Serie A de México|Liga Premier de Ascenso]], was renamed Cruz Azul Hidalgo to ensure the team's permanence in a category below the one it was active in until that year. The club was runner-up in the division in the Clausura 2015 and 2020–21 tournaments. 

At the end of 2020, Cruz Azul had changes in its board of directors, so an austerity policy was initiated with the aim of eliminating the club's debts, for this reason, the continuity of the Cruz Azul Hidalgo team began to be questioned,<ref name="Dissolution">{{cite web |last1=Parra |first1=Abigail |title=¡Cruz Azul Hidalgo desaparece!

==Stadium==
The [[Estadio 10 de Diciembre]] was created for [[Cruz Azul]] until they moved to [[Mexico City]] leaving it without a team. Cruz Azul Jasso then started playing there. The stadium can hold 17,000 comfortably and the stands offer some good shade.
