Club León, (simply known as León) is a Mexican professional football club and very popular with a great history in the first division of Mexican Football, based in the city of Leon, in the state of Guanajuato, Mexico. They currently play in the Primera A, the second tier of football in Mexico since their relegation from the Primera Division (first tier) in 2002.

León has won the Primera División title five times, in 1948, 1949, 1952, 1956 and 1992. They became the first Mexican "Campeonísimo" (winner of the League and the México Cup in the same year) in 1949. In 1993 Leon was the CONCACAF Champions' Cup runner-up, losing the final match against contender Deportivo Saprissa, of Costa Rica, which would become one of the greatest upsets in the vast collection of defeats in the club's history. They also qualified to the Champion's Cup again in 1998, but were miserably eliminated in the semi-final. The team has been a consistent contender for the Primera División A title since relegation from the Primera División in 2002, nevertheless they have failed to obtain the promotion due to constant mediocre performances in the playoffs as opposed to their usual good appearances during regular season.
