Most people won’t realize part of Mexico’s soccer story began in Cornwall. ⚒️⚽
In the 1800s, Cornish miners from Redruth, Camborne and Gwennap travelled to Pachuca, Mexico to work in the silver mines. As well as mining knowledge, they brought something else with them, soccer.
Cornish miners helped form what became Pachuca in 1892, widely recognized as Mexico’s first football club, helping ignite a passion for the game that now lives across an entire nation.
Today, The World Cup comes to both Texas and Mexico. As we prepare to welcome the world once again, it feels incredibly special to reflect on that connection.
Kernow Storm FC, our Cornish roots are part of who we are. But so is our Texas community, including our incredible families, players and coaches that help shape our club every single day from many cultures and heritages.
Soccer has always crossed oceans, languages and borders.
From Cornwall, to Pachuca, to Texas.
One game. One community. One passion. ❤️🖤
