[edit]

The first edition of this tournament was played in August 1994, and since then this competition has served to reinforce its guests club's preseason. Notably, in the first edition of Copa Pachuca it managed to involve 3 so-called "big teams" of the Primera División de México Club America, Cruz Azul, and Pumas; thus beginning the history and tradition of the most important Mexican preseason tournament.

Format

[edit]

Copa Pachuca is actually a very quick preparation tournament where each participating team only gets to play two games. The tournament starts in the semi-final round at the start with only one legged games. The two teams that win their first game move onto the final. The two teams that lose their first game play a game against each other for third place. All games are treated like playoff games. In case of a tie, the two teams will move onto penalties.
