Club Atlético Morelia is a Mexican professional football club based in Morelia, Michoacán. It competes in Liga de Expansión MX, the second level division of Mexican football, and plays its home matches at the Estadio Morelos. Founded in 1924 as Oro Morelia, the club changed its name to Club Deportivo Morelia in 1950, becoming a founding member of the Segunda División de México. It adopted its current name in 1974, before rebranding as Monarcas Morelia in 1999.
Domestically, Atlético Morelia competed in top division from 1981 to 2020, winning one Liga MX title, one Copa MX and one Supercopa MX. Internationally, it finished as runners-up twice in the CONCACAF Champions Cup. Subregionally, the club has won one North American SuperLiga.
In June 2020, Atlético Morelia was reestablished in the Liga de Expansión MX after the relocation of Monarcas Morelia to Mazatlán, Sinaloa was made official, where it was rebranded as Mazatlán F.C. Four years later, in June 2024, Atlético Morelia announced that it had acquired the Monarcas Morelia brand, crest, and historical legacy after the relocation of Atlético Zacatepec to Morelia, Michoacán was made official, thereby reaffirming its identity as the original club founded in 1950. Morelia finished as champions of Clausura 2022 in the Liga de Expansión MX, which was its second title in a second level division.
