Atlético Hidalgo, nicknamed Toltecas is a Mexican football team which plays in the Tercera División de México. It is based in Pachuca and was founded in 1992.

History

The Club Atlético de Hidalgo S.A.D. was a football club based in the city of Pachuca, Mexico. Founded on December 24, 1996, it was one of the few football teams from the state of Hidalgo. It spent numerous seasons in the Third Division of Mexico and is considered one of the founding clubs of the competition. In 2009, the club was involved in a match-fixing scandal and was punished with relegation. From that moment, Grupo Pachuca decided to become the majority shareholder with 80% ownership. It played its home matches at the Estadio Revolución Mexicana, with a capacity of 3,500 spectators.

Identified by its red and black colours, from which it received the nickname "rojinegros" or "diablos", it was one of the most decorated clubs in Hidalgo, reaching the final of the Torneo Invierno 1996 Primera División 'A'. In 1998, the club was sold to Deportivo Toluca, and relocated to Mexico City, changing its identity to Atlético Mexiquense.

They returned to the Third Division in November 2003, but in 2015, they disappeared for the last time.

On June 2025 the team was revived after C.F. Pachuca decided to rename its reserve team, Atlético Pachuca, as Atlético Hidalgo.[1] For its new stage, the team announced its change of field to the Estadio 10 de Diciembre, located in Ciudad Cooperativa Cruz Azul, Hidalgo.[2]
