History

Early years

On 12 February 1917, the brothers Román Alday and Gerardo Ferrat alongside Filiberto Navas and Manuel Henkel created Deportivo Toluca Futbol Club. In 1950, the team joined the recently formed Segunda División de México advancing to Mexican Primera División in 1952-53 by having tied with Irapuato by three goals, two by Rubén Pichardo and one by that tournament's goal scorer Mateo de la Tijera having left one more match to play.

The team's first official First Division game was against Atlante F.C., and Toluca won this by two goals to one.

The team won two consecutive championships in 1966-67 and 1967-68 under coach Ignacio Trelles. In 1974-75 Toluca won the championship one more time after 23 years, coached by Uruguayan Ricardo de León, Toluca played a style of game that was consistently criticized as ultra-defensive but won the championship by defeating León in the final-four mini-tournament 1–0, with the lone goal being scored by Ecuadorian Ítalo Estupiñan. This is the only time the Mexican Championship has been decided by a round-robin, two-legged, mini-tournament.

Enrique Meza era

In 1997 Enrique "Ojitos" Meza became the coach of the team, after reaching the finals of the Mexican league with Toros Neza. Toluca resurged, its tactical scheme was very offensive, which was very characteristic of its coach. It was not atypical to see scores like 5–3. The offensive idea suited perfectly the Paraguayan José Saturnino Cardozo, who became the best scorer of the league in four occasions.

On his second tournament with the team, Meza led Toluca to win the championship in the Verano 1998 tournament, the first one in twenty years. Finishing the regular season as leader of the tournament with 33 points, Toluca went on to beat Atlante and América in the quarterfinals and semifinals respectively. Toluca then faced Necaxa at the final.

After losing with the Hidrorrayos in the first leg of the final 1–2 at the Estadio Azteca, Necaxa scored two goals in the first two minutes of the second leg match at the Estadio Nemesio Díez, losing 1–4 at the aggregate score. Toluca then scored five goals with no answer from Necaxa, Taboada at 3', Abundis at 35' and 52', and Cardozo at 58' and 89'. Toluca won the final with a 6–3 aggregate score, winning its fourth title and the first seven titles in the short tournaments era.

For the Invierno 1998, Toluca finished second in the regular season behind Cruz Azul, but was eliminated in the Liguilla's first round, losing 2–3 in the aggregate score against Atlas, seeded 7th.

The next tournament, Verano 1999, Toluca finished as leader of the tournament again with a record of 12 wins, 3 draws and losing only 2 matches, against Santos Laguna and Atlas. The team defeated Necaxa and Santos Laguna in the quarterfinals and semifinals, respectively. Toluca went on to play the final against Atlas, second best team of the regular season.

After two thrilling matches, a 3–3 draw on the first leg at Estadio Jalisco and a 2–2 tie on the second leg at the Estadio Nemesio Díez, the championship was defined in penalties; Toluca won 5–4.

With Enrique Meza as coach, Toluca won the championship three times in a period of three years. Meza left the team in October 2000 to manage Mexico national football team.

Golden era in short tournaments

In the Invierno 2001 tournament Ricardo La Volpe became the coach of Toluca. He, along with Cardozo and Vicente Sánchez had one of the most successful and exciting teams in years. However, La Volpe left Toluca with a few weeks left in the season, but without him, they still won their 7th title.

At the end of the Apertura 2005 tournament, the team became champions again, beating Monterrey by an aggregate of 6–3, after the questionable decisions of Mexican referee Marco Rodriguez "El Chiquidracula", who expelled three players from Monterrey on their first foul committed.

In Apertura 2006, they tied in the first leg (1-1) but suffered a loss in the Estadio Nemesio Díez (2-1) against Guadalajara.

In the Clausura 2007 tournament, Toluca had one of their worst seasons, finishing in last place. In the Copa Libertadores 2007, they made it to the round of 16, where they were subsequently eliminated by Cúcuta Deportivo from Colombia. Following the elimination from both tournaments, Gallego resigned from his position stating the need for a year off as his reason for resigning from Club Toluca. José Pekerman, former coach of the Argentine national team, was appointed as head coach of Club Toluca on May 30, 2007.

Club Toluca failed to qualify for the 2008 Copa Libertadores. On the Apertura 2008, Toluca had a weak start under their new coach, Jose Manuel "El Chepo" De La Torre, on one point going on a four-game streak of only draws. On the last five games of the regular season, they reversed the tying streak, making 13 points out of a possible 15, ending the regular season in 2nd place overall with 27 points and thus advancing to the playoffs. Their goalkeeper Hernan Cristante set a record by not allowing any goals for 773 minutes.

Toluca would go on to win the Bicentenario 2010 tournament by beating Santos Laguna in a dramatic penalty shoot-out, earning them the tenth cup win, the same amount as Club América. Besides winning the domestic title ten times, Toluca has also been the Runner-Up of the Mexican domestic tournament six times. On the Apertura 2012, Toluca finished first place and therefore earned a place for the Copa Libertadores. On the Ligullia of the Apertura 2012, Toluca went all the way to the final and lose to Club Tijuana 4-1 aggregate. On the Cluasura 2013, Toluca finished 13th and did not qualify for the Ligullia. At the end of that season then coach Enrique Meza resigned his job. The next day Toluca contacted its top scorer former player José Cardozo as its new head coach.

The decade without titles

On May 31, 2016, José Luis Real is presented as director of sports development and a new project is presented as technical director, headed by Hernán Cristante, who would arrive with another reference of the club such as Enrique Alfaro together with Joaquín Velázquez as his technical assistants, during the process, Sinha was to end his successful career within the club, then he managed to bring the goalkeeper on loan Luis García as the only transfer, with a solid base within the club after the losses of Richard Ortiz, Christian Cueva, Heriberto Vidales and Lucas Lobos at the end of the contract, and Liborio Sánchez, Christian Pérez, Mario Quezada, Nicolás Saucedo and Omar Arellano who ended their loan, other players were Daniel González and Héctor Acosta who were loaned to Chiapas and Alebrijes in the same order, were not incorporated into the current team and their loans to other teams were renewed Chivas and Venados F.C. respectively, while the team was in the preseason, David Rangel joined the coaching staff who will achieve as a player of the institution to be captain and champion in the years 1998, 1999, and 2000 with Enrique Alfaro and with Hernán Cristante in 1999 and 2000, while in 2005 he also won the title with Sinha.

For the part of foreign player transfers for the Apertura 2016, an old acquaintance would arrive again, who was champion at the club in 2010, the Chilean Osvaldo González, plus the Brazilian Maikon Leite who previously in 2014 played in Mexico for Atlas FC; other transfers were Rodrigo Gómez , Pablo Barrientos, Antonio Pedroza, and Jesús Méndez.

Deportivo Toluca found themselves playing at home at the Estadio Universitario Alberto "Chivo" Córdoba, because Estadio Nemesio Díez was undergoing remodeling work for the next celebration of 100 years. Starting Clausura 2017, Estadio Nemesio Díez fully ready, Rodrigo Salinas, Gabriel Hauche, Efraín Velarde, and Rubens Sambueza arrived as transfers. In that tournament they reached the semifinals where they were eliminated by Club Deportivo Guadalajara, which ultimately became the champion. Later in the Apertura 2017 tournament they reached the quarterfinals as fifth place, being defeated by Monarcas Morelia. By 2018, there were surprising transfers of Luis Quiñones, Leonel Lopez and Angel Reyna. They reached the final of the Copa MX, being defeated by Club Necaxa. While in the league tournament Toluca was the general leader, dramatically eliminating Morelia in the quarterfinals, in the semifinals they beat Club Tijuana and in the final they faced Santos Laguna, a team they had already beaten in the late years 2000 and 2010. This time the "laguneros" were the champions with an aggregate score of 3–2.

For Apertura 2018, Toluca signed William da Silva, Adolfo Dominguez, Amaury Escoto, Richard Ruiz, Luis Ángel Mendoza, Héctor Acosta, Fernando Tobio and the return of Enrique Triverio, during the tournament he spent all 17 days in Liguilla positions, to culminate 7th. In the quarterfinals they faced America, who would ultimately be champion, being eliminated by a 5-4 aggregate. In the following tournament Cristante is kept, in his first two matches the team remains as Super Leader, but then there was a streak of 6 games without a win, 5 losses and a draw. In which Cristante was dismissed and his replacement was Ricardo La Volpe who began his second stage, during the La Volpe stage there was improvement, but it was not possible to qualify for the league.

During the 2019 Apertura, La Volpe remained in the technical direction, but his results did not improve, having his worst results since 2001. La Volpe resigned in the absence of a day to complete and the team finished in third to last position with 17 points.

For the 2020 Clausura, the tournament was temporarily suspended as of March 15, and after having decided to play the matches on matchday 10 behind closed doors, all as a consequence of the health contingency due to the COVID-19 pandemic in Mexico. The postponement of the contest reached a critical point, until on May 22, 2020, the Liga MX Extraordinary Assembly decreed the end of the tournament before its regular date, leaving the competition without a champion. Toluca finished the tournament in the 15th position, product of 2 wins, 4 draws and 4 losses, obtaining 10 points.

For the Guardianes 2020 and 2021 tournaments, Toluca finished in the 11th position, so it had to play reclassification to a single game, facing Tigres, losing 2–1 in Monterrey, with this result, Toluca ended its participation in the tournament. For the next tournament, Toluca finished again in the eleventh position, again playing reclassification to a single match, this time they faced the current champion León, being a complicated match, again visitor due to their position in the table, they won in a round of penalties, after drawing 2–2 in regular time, winning on penalties 2–4, accessing the quarterfinals, facing Cruz Azul, In a fairly disputed match, round trip ended in the Aztec stadium, losing 4–3 in favor of Cruz Azul and in this way Toluca culminated its participation in the tournament, highlighting the individual scoring championship of Toluqueño player Alexis Canelo with 11 annotations.

For the Apertura 2021 tournament, Toluca made a more remarkable performance than the previous tournaments, culminating in position number 6, playing reclassification again, but this time locally, although it did not help much, since Toluca was defeated by Pumas with a score 1–2 in the match at the Nemesio Diez, culminating again in a reclassification match.

Support

For many years the fans of Deportivo Toluca were very few, because after winning their third title in 1975 against the legendary Club León, the team registered a significant decline, ranking for many years in positions less than half of the board; As if that were not enough, with the passage of time the long tournaments disappeared and the relegation became a matter of percentage which was closely linked to the results achieved by the institutions in recent years.

This evidently affected Deportivo Toluca, placing it in a fighting situation for non-relegation. With such poor results and serious problems, the fans in Toluca preferred to support other teams, mainly from the capital such as Club Universidad Nacional and América, until the '98 season after the arrival by José Saturnino Cardozo that Toluca would reach a final and the fans would begin to appear in the stadium. The golden era began and the fans began to organize, giving birth to the Barra Perra Brava, an entertainment group that is located in the sun stands and gained great popularity when it began to "take off its shirts" every time the team scored a goal. regardless of weather conditions. As time went by, the stands of the Nemesio Díez Stadium began to register greater entries and new animation groups began to emerge.

Currently, on the official site of the Deportivo Toluca Fútbol Club, five animation groups are registered for the institution; the classic Perra Brava, Los Hijos del Averno, La Banda del Rojo, Garra Diablos and La Fuerza Roja, although evidently there are other unregistered bars that also occupy the stands of the stadium. The most common nickname of the team is "red devils", a tradition that began with the promotion of Toluca to the First Division in 1953; During the amateur era, Toluca's colors were blue and white, however as time went by the team began to use the red color that identifies it to this day.

The club's mascot appeared for the first time in August 1953 when Deportivo Toluca formally debuted in the First Division against the Atlante colts in the Ciudad de los Deportes; Since then the nickname of the red devils was born. Toluca also has other nicknames used less frequently to refer to the team; such as: los escarlatas due to the color of their uniform or los choriceros, chorizo ​​being one of the characteristic foods of the city of Toluca. According to surveys carried out in 2007 and 2009 by Grupo Reforma, Récord and Consulta Mitofsky, Toluca is the fifth team with the most fans in Mexico and the team with the greatest fan growth. Today according to Mitofsky in 2022, Toluca is the seventh most popular team in Mexico with 3.0% preference with around 4.0 million fans.

Stadium

The first facilities of the Deportivo Toluca F.C. were located on the old Avenida Colón (today Paseo Colón) in the City of Toluca and basically consisted of a small soccer field and some wooden stands with a covered area reserved for the ladies. In 1919 the then president of the team; Román Ferrat acquired the so-called "Gachupines Dam" to convert it into the new headquarters of Toluca. In this field, Deportivo Toluca received a visit from a team from the capital for the first time; the Real Club España who by then was already four-time champion of the Mexican League. The "Presa de Gachupines" was the official field of Deportivo Toluca for a few years, because in 1921 the team began to use the "Campo del Tívoli" as the official venue of the Mexican State Championship.

At the Tivoli (located three blocks from the Nemesio Díez Stadium); Deportivo Toluca received a visit from a foreign team for the first time, this being Libertad from Costa Rica. By qualifying for the Second Division; Tivoli was established as the official headquarters of Toluca already in professional soccer; However, a year later, in 1952, the team began to use "Campo Patria" as a new headquarters and on which the Nemesio Díez Stadium would be built.

Estadio Nemesio Díez (1954-2024)

During the 1940s and 1950s, Toluca played its home games at a ground near downtown Toluca known then as Tivoli. Later, wooden stands were built in the ground and it was named Campo Patria. On that same spot, in 1953, the club started building its own stadium.

The stadium was inaugurated on Sunday 8 August 1954, with a match between Deportivo Toluca F.C. and Yugoslavian team GNK Dinamo Zagreb. The game was won by Dinamo 4–1. The only goal for Toluca and also the first in the history of the stadium was scored by Enrique Sesma. Initially, the stadium was opened as Estadio Club Deportivo Toluca. That name lasted until 1955, when it was changed to Estadio Héctor Barraza. Other names the stadium has had are: Estadio Luis Gutiérrez Dosal (1959–1970), Estadio Toluca 70 (1970–1986), Estadio Toluca 70–86 (1986–2000). After the death of Nemesio Díez Riega, president and then owner of the club, in June 2000, the stadium name was changed to Estadio Nemesio Díez.

With an investment of 800 million mexican pesos (about 40 million united states dollars), the announcement to remodel The Nemesio Diez stadium by 2017 was made, when Club Deportivo Toluca celebrates its centenary and does so with a remodeled and more functional stadium. Within the Nemesio Diez, four macro support columns that will sustain the stadium structure will be built to replace the current columns obstructing visibility. In the shadow stands, a second level will be built so the capacity, which currently stands at 22,000 will increase to 30,000. The project also includes four giant screens at each end of the building, replacement of all seats and a sunroof in the preferred (shaded) section, to assist in the process of maintaining the natural grass in the field. The remodeled stadium officially opened on January 15, 2017, with a league match against Club America. The first goal was scored by Gabriel Hauche for Toluca with a screamer outside of the box. Toluca FC won that match 2–1. The stadium was completed in the summer 2017 where it had been confirmed that the club would play against Atlético Madrid for the official inauguration of the remodeled stadium.

Estadio Universitario Alberto "Chivo" Córdoba (2016)

Is a multi-use stadium in Toluca, Mexico, on the campus of the Universidad Autónoma del Estado de México. The stadium seats 32,000 and is used mostly for football matches. During the reconstruction of the Estadio Nemesio Díez, Toluca's top-flight soccer club, Deportivo Toluca, played its home matches at Estadio Universitario for over a year. This period was longer than the club expected; while plans were to return to Nemesio Díez in September 2016, these were scrapped. Construction of the stadium began between 1957 and 1958 as a municipal facility for the city of Toluca, with a formal opening on 5 November 1964. It is named for Alberto "Chivo" Córdoba, who coached the UAEM American football team. Between 1974 and 1976, the mural Aratmósfera was painted on the west side stands by Leopoldo Flores. It depicts a man reaching toward the sky to touch light. In 2005, the eastern stands were covered and converted to seats.

Crest and kits

Crest

The current design of the shield used by Deportivo Toluca has undergone only three modifications. The first design was a circle split on the right simulating a letter "C" in which the abbreviation "D.T" was found, referring to the official name of the team: Club Deportivo Toluca, said logo was displayed on a white background and with red letters. , and currently it is still used for the institution's international meetings in which the "retro" Toluca uniform is usually used. Later, said shield was inverted, to such a degree that its letters were written in white and the background in red. In addition, the name of the institution was printed around the shield decorated in black, red and white. Currently the team uses the original shield, implanted on a complete circle with the inscription "Deportivo Toluca Fútbol Club", and on whose surface there are olive branches and in its upper part there is a crown attached with the stars obtained by the institution , which represent the national championships won throughout its history.

Rivalries

Clásico Mexiquense

The Clásico mexiquense is a derby played in the State of Mexico between the Club Deportivo Toluca and the Toros Neza; whose origin is found in the rivalry that existed between Deportivo Toluca and Club Deportivo Coyotes Neza in the 70s as both teams were from the State of Mexico.

Its beginnings occurred during 1978 when the Laguna Football Club was sold and moved to the city of Nezahualcóyotl, State of Mexico; headquarters, of the Toluca Sports Club.

It was celebrated for 10 years until the disappearance of Club Deportivo Coyotes Neza in 1988 when it was transferred to Tamaulipas under the name of Correcaminos de la UAT. In 1988 in an attempt to revive the Neza Coyotes; The Correcaminos returned to Ciudad Neza under the name of Potros Neza, however the project would fail and the team would end up becoming the subsidiary of the Club Atlante.

Despite the great rivalry that existed between Deportivo Toluca and the Club Deportivo Coyotes Neza, it was not until 1993 when the Clásico Mexiquense emerged after the rise of the Technological University of Neza and the founding of the Toros Neza.

The new rivalry between Toluca and Toros, which emulated the old rivalry that existed between Deportivo Toluca and Club Deportivo Coyotes Neza; It reemerged with greater strength, eventually competing in the Orgullamente Mexiquense Cup, in a series of 3 games won by Deportivo Toluca in 1998.

The rivalry remained until the late 1990s; when the president and owner of Toros, Juan Antonio Hernadez Venegas, announces a change of headquarters that would culminate in the disappearance of the team and therefore of the Clásico Mexiquense until 2010 with the reappearance of the Toros Neza in the Liga de Ascenso.

In December 2010, Grupo Salinas, then owner of Monarcas Morelia and Venados de Mérida announced a headquarters exchange between the Venados and the Potros UTN, owned by Grupo Pegasso, acquiring the Ciudad plaza. Neza to once again found the legendary Toros Neza, under the name of Neza FC. Despite this, the Mexican classic would not be played again, since in 2013 it was announced that the Neza franchise would migrate to Ciudad del Carmen, Campeche to create the Delfines Fútbol Club, on May 20 of the same.

In March 2014, it was announced that the Toros Neza would return to the Second Division of Mexico with their traditional name. With this, there is the possibility that both teams will play friendlies, and the Mexican classic will be played again.

Reserves and academy

Atlético Mexiquense

The Atlético Mexiquense was a team that competed in the second category of Mexican soccer, the Primera División A, what would become today the Ascenso MX. It was officially founded for the 1997 Winter Season after acquiring the Atlético Hidalgo franchise and converting it into the subsidiary of Club Deportivo Toluca. For a long time he played in the city of Toluca, later he moved to the city of Ixtapan de la Sal to play at the Ixtapan 90 Stadium and, finally, he returned to play in the city of Toluca in the 2008 Apertura tournament.

Their greatest achievement was the runner-up finish in the 2004 Apertura under the direction of Pablo Luna, losing the final against Club San Luis. In that Mexiquense were the Mexicans Armando Mejía and Octavio Mira, the Brazilian Douglas Caetano, the Argentine Emanuel Ruíz and the Uruguayan Enrique David Díaz, but those who managed to transcend the most would be the Mexicans Jorge Oropeza (who later played in Albania and Ukraine), Arturo Albarrán (nationalized and selected Salvadoran), the late forward Edgar García de Dios and, above all, the creative Diego de la Torre.

For various reasons, including their subsidiary status, some of the greatest footballers from the golden era of the "devils" came to play matches with Atlético Mexiquense (among them Darko Vukić, Antonio Naelson "Sinha", Fabián Estay, among others), also the most outstanding youth players of the 2000s, such as Edgar Dueñas, Cesar Lozano, Miguel Almazán, Francisco Gamboa, Carlos Esquivel, Diego de la Torre or Moisés Velasco, also managed to play in the Atlético Mexiquense- the first wave of youth players from the second decade of the new milineo such as Nestor Calderon, Isaac Brizuela, or Antonio Ríos.

Toluca Premier

Toluca Premier is a subsidiary of Club Deportivo Toluca that, as of opening 2015, plays in the Premier Promotion League, without having the right to be promoted. Its headquarters are the Metepec Facilities, with capacity for 1000 spectators.

Along with 16 other subsidiary teams from the First Division of Mexico, Toluca Premier is part of a joint project to improve the performance of the Premier Promotion League and monitor players over the age of 20 years. For the above reasons it should not be confused with Atlético Mexiquense; Well, that one disappeared in the Clausura 2009 to become the basic forces team "Toluca Sub-20", at the same time that the old Second Division, then called First A, was renamed Ascenso MX.

Two clarifications are in order. 1) Although the groups correspond to an indistinct regional division between subsidiaries and regular clubs, in the Premier League two leagues are played: one for the teams with the right to be promoted and another for the subsidiary teams. 2) Players registered in the Toluca Premier who have the single card can also play with the first team, in the League and Mexico Cup; in the same way that the first team and under-20 players, who have the single card, can play in Toluca Premier.

Toluca Premier is a subsidiary of Club Deportivo Toluca that, as of opening 2015, plays in the Premier Promotion League, without having the right to be promoted. Its headquarters are the Metepec Facilities, with capacity for 1000 spectators.

During the opening 2015 Toluca Premier was integrated into Group 2 along with teams from the center and west of the country, which also includes Potros de la Universidad Autónoma del Estado de México, current champion of the Premier League, and with whom, in addition to the city of Toluca, he shares some players on loan. At the end of the 2015 opening season, the team was placed in the last places in the general table and did not qualify for the affiliate team league. The first match against Potros de la Universidad Autónoma del Estado de México ended 0-4 in favor of the university team.

The Toluca Premier squad for the 2015 opening was made up of the goalkeepers: López Salazar José Luis, Mercado Miranda Juan Pablo and Vilchis Arias Omar Addi; the defenders Martínez Martínez Miguel Ángel, Graniolati Abaid Wilson, Heredia Ávila Gerardo Josimar, Kotasek Montes Mario, Ramírez Hernández Ángel Arturo, Ocampo Guzmán Juan Félix de Jesús, Milla Vázquez Víctor Adrián, the midfielders Maciel Magaña Cristian, Díaz Leal Valdés Marco Polo, Hernández Sánchez José Ángel, Sánchez Sánchez Aarón David, Macias Guillén Uziel Eduardo, León Mateos Jaime Alejandro, López Contreras Brian and the attackers Sánchez García José Andrés, Gutiérrez Castellanos Emmanuel, García Sandoval Andy Arnold. Of all of them, the only one who had managed to play with the first team is Gerardo Josimar "El Tigre" Heredia. The technical direction is the responsibility of José Edmundo Núñez. Toluca Premier's top scorer in the 2015 opening match was Diego Gama - a player registered with the first team, with six goals.

Reserve Team

Professional Mexican soccer underwent a restructuring at the end of Clausura 2009, at which time the Primera División A became the Liga de Ascenso. The change implied removing from this league all subsidiary teams that did not have the right to be promoted, on the other hand the first division teams were obliged to have an Under-20 team and another Under-17 team; This is how Atlético Mexiquense ceased to exist and many of its players were part of the new red U-20 team, so much so that the official name of the squad was and continues to be Mexiquense U-20 and not Toluca U-20 as popularly is known.

Since the U-20 and U-17 basic forces were established, they have provided Deportivo Toluca with important players. José Manuel "Chepo" de la Torre, and later José Cardozo, turned to the youth team on several occasions to reinforce the first team or make up for any eventuality.

Among the players who were promoted by José Manuel de la Torre, Néstor Calderón, Isaac Brizuela, and Antonio Ríos achieved consolidation (all of them came to play in the last seasons of Atlético Mexiquense alongside Diego de la Torre and Moisés Velasco). Close to consolidation are his teammates Erbin Trejo and Miguel Ángel Centeno (the latter, along with Néstor Calderón and Isaac Brizuela, participated in the youth selection process that led to the London 2012 gold medal, although none was finally considered among the 18 Olympic selected). The process of the promoted youth players was not continued by Sergio Lugo (Technical Assistant to "Chepo" de la Torre and his successor in the technical direction), which is why footballers such as Raúl Nava, Carlos Galeana or Trejo and Centeno themselves did not achieve their consolidation .

During the technical directions of Graniolatti and Enrique Meza, very few promotions were given from the U-20. Remember the debut of Alexis Ochoa with "Ojitos" Meza, a player who is currently in the Premier League with the Potros de la UAEMEX. Upon the arrival of José Cardozo, promotions were reestablished with the debut of Daniel "Bóxer" González (currently on loan at Jaguares de Chiapas, after good seasons in the Premier League with Coyotes de Tlaxcala), however the only youth player who since then achieved his Consolidation was Jordán Silva from Potosí (silver medal at the 2015 Toronto Pan American Games), although very close to consolidation are Alejandro Navarro, Jorge Sartiaguín and Diego Gama. The last promoted from the U-20 who have seen minutes with the first team were Aldo Benítez, Gustavo Castillo and Diego Aguilar, mostly in Mexico Cup.

However, many other youth players have not had the same fortune and have temporarily gone on to reinforce teams in the Premier League, the Ascenso Mx or even the LigaMX, among them we can mention Alexis Ochoa, Daniel González Vega, Arturo Tapia, Juan Carlos Morales or Sergio Pérez, among many others (it is expected that over time some of these players will join the Toluca Premier and thus be able to consolidate themselves). A separate case, worthy of mention, is the goalkeeper Ernesto Sánchez Mena, who after having fulfilled all the youth categories of Toluca, and having tried his luck in the second division of Greece, suffered a wrist injury while alternating between the bench of the first team and the goal of the Toluca U-20, an injury that finally removed him completely from professional football without having made his debut.

The Basic Forces of the Toluca Sports Club are directed by Roberto Silva Parada. According to the philosophy of the institution; Toluca's priority is to work with young elements who can excel as soon as possible in the First Division. Deportivo Toluca has an under-20 team and another under-17 team that share the team name; in addition to various football schools throughout the country.

Women

Deportivo Toluca Femenil is the women's football section of Deportivo Toluca and they currently play in the Liga MX Femenil, the top level women's football league in México. Founded in 2017. The team was founded in 2017 prior to the creation of a women's soccer league in Mexico. In 2017 it was one of the 12 clubs participating in the 2017 Liga MX Femenil Cup, where it finished in fourth overall position. In the 2018 Clausura Tournament (Liga MX Femenil), Toluca reached the semifinal round, where they were eliminated by the Monterrey Femenil Soccer Club. In the 2018 Apertura Tournament (Liga MX Femenil), the team reached the league again, being defeated by Club América Femenil in the quarterfinals.
