Fernández was the owner of the Atlético Celaya Futbol Club in the 90s. He acquired the franchise when the team was in the Liga Premier – Serie A and obtained the promotion to the maximum circuit after winning 1-0 to Pachuca in the final. Thanks to his love for football and the heavy investment he made, he was able to bring the "Buitre" Butragueño (1995-1998) and "Míchel" Miguel González (1996-1997) to the Mexican football, as well as repatriate Hugo Sánchez (1996-1997) to the country,[1] from the Dallas Burn of the MLS.[2]
