OKLAHOMA CITY – OKC Energy FC announced on Monday the club would host 2016-17 CONCACAF Champions League champion C.F. Pachuca of Liga MX in an international friendly on Tuesday, July 11 at Taft Stadium. The contest marks the second consecutive season Energy FC has hosted a top club from Liga MX in an international exhibition, following the clash with Chivas de Guadalajara last year.

Founded in 1892, Pachuca is the oldest team in Mexico and among the most prolific Liga MX clubs in recent history. Los Tuzos have claimed six Mexican championships and six international titles, including its recent victory in the CONCACAF Champions League. Pachuca defeated both Major League Soccer’s FC Dallas in the semifinal, and then fellow Liga MX side Tigres in the final to earn its fifth continental championship.
