San Luis Fútbol Club was a Mexican professional

Alfonso Lastras Ramirez Stadium. On May 28, 2013 it was confirmed the team would move to Tuxtla Gutiérrez, Mexico and be renamed Chiapas Fútbol Club.[2]

History

The team began playing the

Segunda Division
.

In the 1970–71 season San Luis was able to win

Primera Division
for the 1971–72 season.

Their stint in Primera Division was cut short after losing the relegation playoff against

Laguna
in the 1973–74 season.

It did not take long for San Luis to once again win Segunda Division and in 1975–76 they achieved the title and the right for promotion for the 1976–77 season. This would lead to the Potosino classic in the top flight since Atlético Potosino had achieved promotion in the 1973–74 season as semi finalist.

Once again their stay in Primera Division did not last long. In the end of a great season in 1976–77 where they reached the championship playoff, the franchise was sold to

Tampico Madero
who took over their spot in Primera Division.

The team returned to Primera Division in the 2002–03 season, ending in the mid-table position. This stint was short-lived, since in the tournaments after that they did not do well, and they ended up being relegated after the 2003–04 season.

Their last stint in Primera Division was in the 2005–06 season, when they gain promotion after winning the 2004–05 Primera 'A'.

After the 2012–13 season

Veracruz. These changes have sparked controversy in the Mexican press as Querétaro effectively bought its place back in the first division and newly promoted La Piedad completely lost its team.[3] With this San Luis was left without a team in top flight now having only Atlético San Luis, was formed in 2013, in Ascenso MX
.
