Club Atlético de San Luis, commonly known as Atlético San Luis, is a Mexican Professional football club based in San Luis Potosí. It competes in Ascenso MX.
The team originally played in the city of Veracruz, Mexico and was called Tiburones Rojos de Veracruz. On May 28, 2013 it was announced the team Tiburones was relocating to the city of San Luis Potosí and was renamed Atlético San Luis, replacing San Luis Potosí's Liga MX team San Luis FC after its relocation.
Atlético San Luis was born from the San Luis F.C. moved to Chiapas to become Chiapas F.C., with this football disappear from San Luis Potosí. However, Jacobo Payán, owner of Estadio Alfonso Lastras and one of the largest employers of this state, acquired Tiburones Rojos de Veracruz from Ascenso MX and in turn moved to the city of San Luis Potosí.
