Saltillo Fútbol Club, commonly known as Saltillo F.C., is a Mexican football club based in Saltillo, Coahuila. The club was founded in 2019, and currently plays in the Serie A of Liga Premier.

History

Origins

The club was founded in June 2017 as Atlético Saltillo Soccer through an alliance between the clubs Atlético Allende and Saltillo Soccer, the second team maintained a franchise called Titanes de Saltillo, which had been relegated from the Liga Premier de Ascenso, so it finally merged with the Atlético project.[1] At first, it was sought that Atletico Saltillo played in Serie A, however, was finally placed in Serie B to not have the necessary requirements for the category of higher level.[2]

On 11 August 2017, the first match of the club was played, tying with Club Calor by 0–0.[3] At the end of the regular season of the Torneo Apertura 2017, the team qualified for the playoffs, being eliminated by Coyotes de Tlaxcala in the quarterfinal round.[4] In the 2018-19 season, the team qualified again for the promotion playoffs.[5]

For the 2019–2020 season, the Liga Premier de México allowed the promotion of several Serie B teams to Serie A to cover some spaces left after the departure of five Liga MX clubs reserve teams. On 28 June 2019, the entry of Atlético Saltillo Soccer in the category was confirmed.[6] After confirming the participation of the team in Serie A, they began talks to create a single club that represents the city of Saltillo.
