This page documents the early history of Mexican college football.

First football game played in Mexico

edit

Missouri and Texas played a series of exhibition games in Mexico at the conclusion of the 1896 college football season.

The opening game of the tour, held in Monterrey, was the first football game ever played in Mexico. It was watched by 3,000 spectators, including "the elite of the city" such as the Governor of Nuevo León, Bernardo Reyes.[1] Four days later, the teams played a series of games with mixed rosters in Mexico City,[2] in front of "mainly American and English residents and a sprinkling of Mexican club men".[3] After learning about wages being placed on the contest, the players agreed to finish in a tie.[2] Despite being in shape, they had trouble with the high altitude in the Mexican capital, leading to frequent timeouts due many collapsing on the field.[2][3] It is also reported that one game was stopped by police officers who thought the American players were fighting.[2] Due a delay on the train ride home, Missouri and Texas played one final exhibition game in Laredo, Texas, on the morning of January 2, 1897.[4]

The unauthorized tour angered university authorities at Missouri.[5] While the Texas team returned with no issues, Missouri officials fired head coach Frank Patterson, banned captain Tom Shawhan from the team, and suspended team manager George English from the university.[2][6]

More than five decades later in 1948, Ricardo Toraya of the International News Service described an earlier exhibition game played in 1895 as the first football game played in Mexico:

"The sport was introduced then by a group of vacationing Americans [sic] students. They used pillows for shoulder pads and Moorish bandages for helmets before the astonished eyes of Mexican school boys and some peaceful cows."[7]
