Cruz Azul and Pumas UNAM carry a rivalry defined less by proximity than by contrast. Cruz Azul's own origin sits far from Mexico City altogether: the club took shape in 1927 in the town of Jasso, Hidalgo, before relocating to the capital in 1971.

For most of its existence the ground was the modest Estadio Azul, holding around 35,000. The club now plays at the Estadio Azteca, holding 87,523.

The team's identity was built in a run of championships either side of 1970, when Miguel Marín kept goal through five league titles and Fernando Bustos collected six. That era also produced Cruz Azul's mark in regional competition: seven CONCACAF Champions' Cup wins, won across three separate decades.

Domestically, the club spent long stretches chasing that early success rather than repeating it.

Ten league titles in total, spread across three separate eras of the club's history.
