ABOUT US

The Mexican Federation of Charrería AC is the institution in charge of promoting, preserving and disseminating charrería, the national sport par excellence and a cultural expression that brings identity and pride to all Mexicans.

Background:
Charreria has its roots in the Mexican countryside, where equestrian skill and cattle handling have been an integral part of our history since ancient times. Over the centuries, this tradition has been consolidated as a sport that combines skill, elegance and values rooted in our roots.

The Mexican Federation of Charrería (FMCH) was born as a result of the need to unify and organize the practice of charrería in Mexico. Over time, charrería evolved and gained relevance as a national sport and cultural expression, but it lacked an entity to represent it officially.

In 1921, the First National Charro Congress was held in Mexico City, where various representatives of charro associations and groups from different states of the country met. During this congress, the importance of creating an organization that would regulate and promote charrería in a unified manner was discussed.

Thus, on January 16, 1921, the Federación Nacional de Charros was founded, which would later become the Federación Mexicana de Charrería. Its main objective was to bring together the different groups and associations of charros, establish rules and regulations for competitions, as well as preserve and disseminate the traditions and values of charrería.

Over the years, the FMCH has worked hard to consolidate and strengthen charrería as a national sport, promoting its practice, encouraging the training of new charros and promoting participation in national and international competitions. The federation has become the main governing body of charreria in Mexico, being recognized both nationally and internationally.

Thanks to the constant and committed work of the Mexican Charreria Federation, this tradition rooted in our roots has endured and has become a symbol of identity and pride for all Mexicans. The federation continues to work tirelessly to preserve and spread the greatness of charrería, promoting the values and traditions that characterize it.

Mission:
The mission of the Federación Mexicana de Charrería is to preserve and strengthen charrería as a living symbol of our culture, encouraging the practice of the sport, the training of new charros and the dissemination of its traditions. We work to safeguard this invaluable legacy and pass it on to future generations, promoting respect, camaraderie and love for our roots.

Vision:
Our vision is to be recognized as the leading institution in the promotion and development of charrería at a national and international level. We seek to be a reference in the training of charros, the organization of high-level competitions and the dissemination of charrería as a unique and emblematic cultural manifestation of Mexico. We aspire for charrería to be valued and admired around the world as a symbol of our identity and traditions.

The Federación Mexicana de Charrería is proud to represent all charros and charreadas in the country, working tirelessly to keep this cultural and sporting heritage alive. Together with the Museo de la Charrería, we seek to preserve and disseminate the richness of our history and traditions, generating a sense of belonging and admiration for this legacy that defines us as Mexicans.
