Who we are
inspired by our present, with a dream for their future
Hello and Welcome to tigres!
We are Luz Elena De la Cruz and Yonathan Delgado. We conceived the launch of a soccer academy back in 2022, as parents of young soccer enthusiasts and being soccer fans ourselves. We were prompted by the widespread need to improve the teaching of basic theory and techniques to foster the potential of young players.
When the opportunity arose to be part of Club Tigres as a franchise, we were eager to land our idea along with an internationally recognized team, knowing that the academy will provide a unique exchange: the chance for young players to receive top-notch training from a globally acclaimed soccer club. The academy will become the bridge between local talents and international standards, enabling players to dream big and pursue professional soccer careers.
