The press conference was held at hotel where the Liga MX league [preseason meetings are taking place in Cancun, Quintana Roo. Alejandra de la Vega, Paul Foster and other members of the FC Juarez front office including Vice President of FC Juarez Alvarado Navarro have been in Cancun since Sunday evening. Since then the acquisition of Lobos by FC Juarez was pretty a much a secret that everyone knew and it was only a matter of time since it came into fruition.
