context_page_description: The Club de Futbol Espana De Puebla was a Mexican club that was one of the pioneers of association football in the state and city of Puebla. The club was founded in 1915 as Puebla FC, by mostly Mexican natives and the Spaniard community. The club was one of the most successful of the amateur era in Puebla. The club would dissolve in the early 1940s when it merged with Asturias de Puebla, a few years before professional football was established in Mexico. History would have it that the club would return and form part of Puebla F.C., the same name the club was founded with in 1915.
context_section_description: After its main rival club Reforma disappeared in 1921, the club felt the effect and had three years of mediocre play. It was in 1925 when Laureno R Alvarez took over the presidency of the club which lifted the club back up. During these years the club started traveling to states like Veracruz, Mexico City, and Hidalgo to play against top-tier opposition such as Club America, C.F. Aurrerá, Germania F.V., C.F. Pachuca, and Albinegros de Orizaba – clubs who played in the semi professional Primera Fuerza league. In 1926 the club managed to win the Copa Excelsior which they won for a second time in 1928. In 1927 the club won the Copa Gallegos against Club Pachuca (the cup was donated by a wealthy man of the city pf Pachuca). The club's success was noticed in Mexico City in particular; Real Club España would buy some of the club's players. One of the most successful players and a fan favorite was Joaquín Colubi Rodríguez. In 1930 Antonio Guerra took over in a time where the club was just about to start the biggest rivalry in its history.
