Leo F.C. is a football team from Gibraltar. They play in the Gibraltar Second Division and the Rock Cup.
Leo FC has had a modest history in Gibraltar football, originally going by the name of Leo Santos & Sons and later Leo FC Parilla for sponsorship reasons. Not long after Gibraltar's acceptance into UEFA, that sponsorship ended, however, and they became known as simply Leo FC. Despite having a somewhat quiet history sitting in mid-table of the Gibraltar Second Division, a major shakeup of the club on June 15, 2017 saw Dani Herrera appointed as Director of Football, while former Spain international footballer Catanha was appointed manager for the coming season, outlining a desire to secure promotion for the first time.
