Tigres UANL in international football

Tigres de la Universidad Autónoma de Nuevo León (or simply Tigres UANL) is a Mexican professional football club based in San Nicolás, Nuevo León. The club has participated in a total of 20 international tournaments across CONCACAF, CONMEBOL, and FIFA.

The club's first appearance in an international tournament was in the 1979 CONCACAF Champions' Cup, from which it qualified as league champion. In the tournament, it defeated Soccer Universidad AC of the United States in the first round of the North American Zone, but fell in the semifinals to C.D. FAS of El Salvador. After two appearances in 1981 and 1983, Tigres would be absent from the tournament for almost 30 years, until its return in the 2012-13 edition; in total, it has participated in the competition twelve times.

At the international level, Tigres has won the CONCACAF Champions Cup/League once, in the 2020 edition; in previous years, the team had lost three finals. Outside of CONCACAF, they were the third club from Mexico to appear in a Copa Libertadores final (2015), following Cruz Azul in 2001 and Guadalajara in 2010.

Tigres' best result in an international competition was a runner-up finish at the 2020 FIFA Club World Cup, when they lost the final to Bayern Munich. To date, it is the greatest soccer achievement achieved by a Mexican and North American club.
