Team Info
Club Atlas Fútbol Club, known as Los Zorros (The Foxes), is a historic institution in Mexican football based in Guadalajara, Jalisco. They compete in Liga MX and share the legendary Estadio Jalisco with rivals Club Universidad de Guadalajara. Founded in 1916, Atlas is one of the oldest active clubs in Mexico, with its iconic red and black vertical stripes being instantly recognizable. The club is owned by the Grupo Orlegi and is currently led by head coach Benjamín Mora. The name "Atlas" was chosen from mythology, symbolizing strength and endurance, while the fox mascot represents cunning and agility.
Atlas's history is characterized by long periods of struggle and passionate support, famously earning the moniker "El Equipo del Pueblo" (The People's Team) for its loyal, working-class fanbase. For decades, the club was known as the perennial underdog, often fighting relegation. This narrative made their ultimate triumph all the more spectacular. The defining, peak era of the club arrived very recently, in 2021 and 2022. Under the transformative management of Diego Cocca, Atlas broke a 70-year championship drought by winning the Guardianes 2021 title, and then followed it up by winning the Clausura 2022 championship, achieving a historic back-to-back Liga MX crown. This team, built on a fierce defensive unit and led by players like Julio Furch, Aldo Rocha, and Camilo Vargas, cemented its legendary status.
The modern era sees Atlas in a phase of transition following that incredible high. The current squad aims to remain competitive in the upper half of the table, blending veterans from the title runs with new signings. The team culture is defined by one of the most passionate and devoted fanbases in Mexico, whose support never wavered during the long trophy drought. The atmosphere at the Jalisco is always electric. In summary, Atlas is a club reborn, having shed its "cursed" label to become a modern champion, forever etching the early 2020s as its golden age and solidifying its place as a beloved giant of Mexican football.
