Club Social y Deportivo Dorados de Sinaloa, or simply Dorados, is a Mexican professional football club based in the city of Culiacán. The club plays its home games in Culiacán, Sinaloa, in the northwest of Mexico. Dorados was the youngest franchise to play in the Primera División de México, having joined the division for the first time for the Apertura 2004 tournament, when Dorados was only one year old. Dorados currently plays in Ascenso MX, the second tier of Mexican football.
Dorados was founded on August 9, 2003, when Eustaquio de Nicolas and Valente Aguirre announced the creation of the Dorados.
