In 1902 the club first participated in a football competition in the Primera Fuerza in Mexico City. The clubs taking part were Orizaba Athletic Club, Pachuca Athletic Club, Reforma Athletic Club, Mexico Cricket Club and British Club. This was the first organized football tournament in Mexico.

Before the first match in the new league took place the club played numerous friendlies against Pachuca Athletic Club in order to unite the English migrants living around Mexico.
