⚠️ Atlas FC for Sale: Orlegi Sports Announces Its Departure from the Club

🔴⚫ Orlegi Sports to Sell Atlas FC

In a major development for Mexican football, Orlegi Sports has officially confirmed it will sell Atlas FC, ending its ownership of the club after several seasons that included a historic league title run.

The announcement came just days before Atlas’ home match in Jornada 2 of the Apertura 2025 against Cruz Azul. Orlegi stated that a planned and structured transition process is now underway, aiming to ensure the club’s long-term growth under new ownership that understands both its sporting value and social relevance.

💼 End of Multi-Ownership: Santos Remains with Orlegi

As first reported by journalist Pedro Antonio Flores, Orlegi Sports has chosen to retain full control of Santos Laguna, thus ending its multi-ownership in Liga MX. The company has also confirmed that it has partnered with various investment funds to ensure transparency in the sale of Atlas.

While there are already several potential buyers, no official agreement has been reached. The process will comply with all Liga MX regulations, and Orlegi has engaged Moelis & Company, ADS, and Weil, Gotshal & Manges LLP as advisors for the transaction.

🏟️ No Relocation or Name Change for Atlas

Despite the uncertainty surrounding the announcement, it has been made clear that Atlas will not be relocated, renamed, or dissolved. Legal protections are in place to ensure that the club remains in Guadalajara, Jalisco, preserving its legacy and fanbase.

🆕 Atlas Off to a Winning Start in Apertura 2025

On the pitch, Atlas began its 2025 Apertura campaign on a strong note with a 3-2 victory over Puebla. The club is set to host Cruz Azul this Saturday, July 19, at the Estadio Jalisco for its second league match of the season.
