Club Santos Laguna S.A. de C.V., known simply as Santos Laguna, is a Mexican professional football club based in Comarca Lagunera.
Santos Laguna was founded in 1983 and reached Mexico's top division after buying the Ángeles de Puebla club. The club debuted in first division in the 1988–89 season. Domestically, Santos Laguna has won 6 Liga MX championships, as well as 1 Copa MX and 1 Campeón de Campeones cup. It has also reached the finals of the CONCACAF Champions League twice, finishing runners-up on both occasions.
Santos is the third football club formed in the Comarca Laguerna region, after the unsuccessful C.F. Laguna and C.F. Torreón. In 2018, the club celebrated its 35th anniversary with a change in their logo. In a February 17, 2013 poll, by Consulta Mitofsky,[2] it was the fifth-most-popular team in Mexico.
