About

Club Necaxa, based in Aguascalientes City, competes in Liga MX and traces its roots to 1 January 1923, when the Scottish engineer William H. Fraser established the outfit; the club’s long arc from Mexico City to Aguascalientes, and its documented moves and walkouts, make its shirts tangible pieces of sporting migration and memory, and collectors find provenance stories here.

The professional era began with Necaxa as one of ten founding members of the 1943 Liga Mayor and today the side still plays in Liga MX. Home fixtures are staged at the Estadio Victoria, a modern venue in Aguascalientes that frames many of the club’s retail and match-issued shirt runs, and the club’s history is marked by moves, rebrandings and memorable tournament nights.

On the honours board Necaxa have won 3 Liga MX titles, four Copa MX crowns and two Campeón de Campeones trophies, and they also claimed international success including a CONCACAF Champions Cup, plus a third place at the 2000 FIFA Club World Championship, all of which drives demand for era-specific shirts linked to those campaigns.

Collectors note anniversary issues in particular, with the club’s Centenary 2023 moment, a hundred years since the original 1923 founding, inviting limited edition releases, commemorative badges and retrospective kits that reference both the Mexico City origins and the Aguascalientes era, creating clear provenance for framed or signed retail pieces.

Certain seasons and fixtures are chaseable magnets, most notably the club’s run to third place in the 2000 FIFA Club World Championship and the 1943 inaugural professional season with Liga Mayor membership; shirts connected to those campaigns are sought because they represent competitive turning points and rare tournament provenance rather than routine league issues.

Away shirts have their own collector language; historically the club is associated with red and white identity and collectors prize an iconic away colourway in white with red trim tied to decisive continental matches and CONCACAF campaigns. Fans collect official fanshop shirts as well as player-issue variants, and demand often centres on early fanshop runs, region-specific releases and short-run player-issue variants, with Free worldwide shipping available on selected authenticated pieces.

Provenance remains central: documented origins in Mexico City, the move to Aguascalientes, the club’s CONCACAF success and founder William H. Fraser all help collectors verify pieces, and authenticated items accompanied by a COA are typically highlighted for display. For those researching shirts from the 1943 Liga Mayor founding season and the 2000 FIFA Club World Championship, cross-referencing match photos and release notes helps confirm signatures and run details, and Walkouts can help locate verified retail and signed releases.
