San Luis FC , formerly Real San Luis and Club San Luis , was a Mexican football club from San Luis Potosí .

history

The club was founded in 1957 as Real Club de Fútbol San Luis and received a starting place in the second division for the 1957/58 season . He won this in the 1970/71 season, with which San Luis achieved promotion to the football club. The first season in the Primera División 1971/72 ended San Luis with a respectable twelfth place in the overall table (with a total of 18 teams) and an almost even balance: 11 wins were compared to 13 defeats.

At the same time, a second club was founded in the city of San Luis Potosi, which was given a starting place in the second division and should act as a kind of substructure for the first-class playing Club San Luis. But after just two years, the roles of both clubs were redistributed: While Club San Luis finished the 1973/74 season with only 21 points in the last place in the table and thus relegated to the second division, Club Atlético Potosino reached the semi-finals of the second division in the fight for promotion to the Primera División. Because the FMF , the Mexican Football Association, wanted to add two teams to the first division from the coming 1974/75 season, the two semi-finalists who had failed due to sporting reasons were invited to play in the first division. So the two clubs from San Luis Potosi swapped places.

Two years later, the club managed to return to the upper house of football and, with ninth place in the overall annual ranking, the best ranking of all time to date. For the first time, San Luis had more wins (10) than losses (9) in a first division season and was also able to decide the direct duel with the city rivals (1: 1 and 2: 0) in his favor. Despite this positive balance, the season ended in disaster because the license was sold to CD Tampico .

In the following years, the club temporarily even fell back to the third division and had to wait until the summer of 2002 before he managed to return to the Primera División. The Club San Luis traded its new strength for its independence: because the club was plagued by both sporting and financial problems and at the same time Televisa was looking for a farm team for her club, Club América , Club San Luis became a contract of December 5, 2001 subordinated to the Televisa group. Since then, San Luis has acted as a kind of “parking lot” for “rough diamonds” committed by the Club América, which are still given the necessary finishing touches here before they are later to reinforce the américanistas.

Since then, the club has experienced its ups and downs. The low point was the descent in the summer of 2004, which was followed by the immediate resurgence. The absolute highlight was reaching the finals in the Clausura 2005/06, in which they were only slightly inferior to CF Pachuca with 0-0 and 0-1. The Club América, however, had not even reached the play-offs in this round ...
