“…The sparse existing scholarship covering Barrio Azteca focuses on its role in criminal enterprise and violence in Ciudad Juárez (Ainslie, 2013; Arratia, 2017; Bartolomé, 2011; Rossi, 2014; Salazar Gutiérrez, 2010, 2016). Some journalistic accounts provide insight into episodes and relationships within the gang (Grillo, 2011; Rodríguez Nieto, 2015).…”

Barrio Azteca is a criminal organization that has significantly evolved since its inception as a prison solidarity group—first into a true prison gang and then into an organized criminal enterprise operating in the free world. Today, Barrio Azteca has declined in power and effectiveness in carceral settings but continues to play an important role in the wholesale and retail drug trade in the Paso del Norte area. Its organizational life cycle appears to parallel that of a licit enterprise, except that it primarily competes in the criminal protection marketplace. Thus, to survive and compete in the market for criminal protection, Barrio Azteca adapted to shifts in control dynamics, demonstrating uncommon resilience, first specializing in protection in response to changes in carceral violence and, later, expanding into the drug-trafficking market in response to violence in the criminal underworld both inside and outside prison. This article traces that history of adaptation and persistence, situating it within a synthesis of currently accepted theoretical models of criminal organizational evolution, and in so doing, provides the first organizational history of a prison gang—Barrio Azteca—published in the academic literature.

“…Un equipo sorprendente en Liguilla y luego una caída abrupta con malos números que impusieron récord de juegos no ganados hasta aquel momento (año 2010). En el aspecto social, generó una efervescencia de la afición en uno de los momentos con mayor incertidumbre y miedo social: el periodo 2008-2012 fue de máxima violencia e inseguridad exacerbada en la ciudad, la ciudad más peligrosa del mundo (Salazar, 2010;Arratia, 2017). Los colores, rojo y blanco.…”

“…Ciertamente la conformación de la ciudad ha sido compleja, y en las últimas décadas ha experimentado inseguridad pública y violencias como el feminicidio (Monárrez Fragoso, 2000, además de actos de exterminio y de lesa humanidad producto de la «guerra» contra el narcotráfico (Aziz Nassif, 2012;Arratia, 2017;Sumano, 2018), a la vez que desigualdad y vulnerabilidad social en diversos sectores de la ciudad (Medina Pérez et al, 2019).

Ciudad Juárez-Mexico, like many other cities, concentrates its identity constitution processes in scenarios and spaces of disagreement between what is experienced, what is thought, and daily expectations. Bordering northern Mexico, the city has endured periods of public insecurity and violence in recent decades, such as femicides and the "war" against organized crime. However, at the same time, during the final two decades of the twentieth century to date, a socio-cultural manifestation emerged concerning professional football (soccer): the citizens identification with the highest national circuit's teams. Juárez has been historically characterized as a region fond of baseball, basketball and athletics, with a certain rejection of soccer, especially due to its distance from the center and south of the country, where soccer is more firmly stablished. The article aims to describe some socio-cultural prints, as representations of soccer and the city. They are inscribed in an identity conformation of violence, but also of hope and exaltation, involving processes that articulate migration, duality, the centralism-regionalism dyad, national and international influences and meanings.
