The Rocha Fútbol Club is a Uruguayan football club from the city of Rocha, Uruguay. It was founded in 1999 and plays in the second professional division of Uruguay.
Rocha was the first club from outside Montevideo to have played in the Copa Libertadores, having competed in 2006. The club was established in 1999 and won the promotion to the Uruguayan top division in 2003.[1]
In 2005, after capturing the Apertura title, the team notably did their lap of honour with their mascot, a cow owned by journalist Robert Santurio.
