Current season

Club Puebla is a Mexican professional football club based in Puebla. The club competes in Liga MX, the top division of Mexican football, and plays its home matches at Estadio Cuauhtémoc. Founded in 1944 as Puebla Fútbol Club, the club changed to its current name in 2016. Nicknamed La Franja, the team shirt features a diagonal stripe (traditionally blue on white on the home kit, and a combination of different colors on the away kits) that crosses the chest diagonally from right to left, which is considered a distinctive element of its identity.
