Club Tigres de la Universidad Autónoma de Nuevo León, commonly known as Tigres UANL or Tigres, is a Mexican professional association football club based in the Monterrey metropolitan area, Nuevo León. It competes in Liga MX, the top level of the Mexican football system, and plays its home matches at the Estadio Universitario de la UANL. Founded in 1960 as Club Deportivo Universitario de Nuevo León, the club represents the Autonomous University of Nuevo León and adopted its current name in 1967.
Domestically, Tigres has won eight Liga MX titles, three Copa MX trophies and four Campeón de Campeones crowns. Internationally, the club has won the CONCACAF Champions League, finished as runners-up in the Copa Libertadores (2015), and reached the 2020 FIFA Club World Cup final, where it lost to FC Bayern Munich—becoming the first Mexican and CONCACAF club to reach the final of a FIFA global competition. Subregionally, the club has won two Campeones Cup titles and one North American SuperLiga.
Tigres's first major trophy was the 1975–76 Copa México, when it defeated Club América 3–2 on aggregate in the final, becoming the first club from Nuevo León to win an official national title. Since 1996 the club has been managed by Sinergia Deportiva, a sports-management company associated with Cemex. The team's traditional colors are gold and blue. It is one of the two major professional clubs in the state of Nuevo León, alongside rivals C.F. Monterrey (Rayados); their rivalry is known as the Clásico Regiomontano.
