San Luis Fútbol Club was a Mexican professional football club from the city of San Luis Potosí, San Luis Potosí. The club was founded in 1957, when they were known as Santos (saints). The team's nickname of Tuneros, a reference to the tuna fruit, was later changed to Gladiadores. The nickname for the team was then changed to Reales. The nickname Tribu Real was a reference to the fact that the team was once named Real San Luis. Another nickname recently given to the team was El Equipo del Milagro (The Miracle team) because of the last-minute "miracle" to stay in the Liga MX, the highest division of Mexican professional football. San Luis played their home games at Alfonso Lastras Ramirez Stadium. On May 28, 2013 it was confirmed the team would be moved to Tuxtla Gutiérrez, Chiapas, and be renamed Chiapas Fútbol Club.
