History of the Aztecs
The Mexico City Aztecs were founded in 2015 as the Santa Fe Gorillas in Season 5 of the Simulation Football League. Team founder Joey Ramos Lynn, known around the league as "Ramos", lead the Gorillas to the season 5 championship game in their inaugural season, losing only by 1 point to the D.C. Dragons 31-30.
In 2017 at the start of season 8 the Santa Fe Gorillas would rebrand as the Mexico City Aztecs. In Season 9, the Aztecs would go on to win it all taking home the championship victory defeating the Chicago Wildcats 38 - 24. Fast forward to 2024, Season 23, the Mexico City Aztecs would return to the SFL Championship game and win again, defeating the Canton Classics 34 - 24.
#12 Matt Willson - Quarterback
Hall of Fame quarterback Matt Willson joined the Aztecs back in season 6. He had one of the most storied careers in league history of any quarterback, being the first in league history to reach the 50,000 passing yard mark in season 20. Matt tragically passed away on July 15, 2022 at the young age of 41 years old. His jersey number 12 has been retired, and the Aztec's home stadium was renamed Estadio Matt Willson in his honor.
