Santiago F.C. is a football club that plays in the Liga Premier – Serie B. It is based in Santiago, Nuevo León, Mexico.

History

The team was founded in 2017 as FCD Bulls de Santiago, a team associated with a soccer school owned by the Texan team FC Dallas, the school was based in Santiago, Nuevo León, a town integrated into the Monterrey metropolitan area, due to their relationship, the team could send footballers to train in the minor leagues of the United States. Since its foundation the team was registered in the Liga TDP.[2]

In 2022 the team ended its direct relationship with FC Dallas, but maintaining an alliance agreement, for which it was renamed Santiago Fútbol Club, although maintaining the place and rights to play in the Liga TDP.[3]

On 18 July 2023, the team was promoted to the Liga Premier – Serie B,[4]. Santiago F.C. bought the Mazorqueros F.C. place that had been left free after the dissolution of that team, thus the Santiago team managed to improve its position in Mexican football.[5] However, for administrative reasons, the Liga Premier team is officially named Club de Fútbol Santiago, although the club maintains the original name on its uniforms, shields, communications and other graphic identities.
