Club Puebla is a Mexican professional football club based in Puebla. It competes in Liga MX, the top division of Mexican football, and plays its home matches at the 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.

Domestically, Club Puebla has won two Liga MX titles, 5 Copa MX titles, one Campeón de Campeones and one Supercopa MX. Internationally, it has won one CONCACAF Champions Cup and also finished as runners-up in the 1991 Copa Interamericana.

The club's first major title was the 1944–45 Copa México, defeating América 6–4 on aggregate, and won their first league title in the 1982–83 season, defeating Guadalajara 7–6 on penalties. Puebla won the 1991 CONCACAF Champions' Cup, defeating Police FC 4–2 on aggregate, which has been their only international title obtained.
