Puebla Futbol Club, also known as the Camoteros and La Franja (The Stripe), is a professional Mexican football club. Puebla FC recently ascended to the First National Division (05-26-07). The team's white home jersey features a blue sash, which crosses the chest diagonally from the right shoulder to the waist.

The team was formed as an amateur club in 1904, by Englishmen who integrated into the Mexican Football League. Between 1944 and 1949, Puebla FC gained one second place, one third, and three fourth-place finishes, plus their first Copa México in the 1944-45 season, thereby becoming one of the great football clubs in México. During the 1953-54 season they managed their second Copa México title. Puebla took home their first League Title in the 1982-83 season, after defeating Guadalajara on penalty kicks. Another Copa México was theirs after the 1987-88 season, and in the 1989-90 season they won both a Copa México and their second League Title after beating the Black Lions of the Universidad de Guadalajara. This feat (winning both the League and the Copa Mexico Championships) erned the team the right to be counted among the exclusive "campeonísimo" club.

In 1991 they defeated Trinidad and Tobago for their first CONCACAF championship. Throughout more than sixty years of professional football, Puebla FC has counted on notable international players, mainly from Argentina, Brazil, Spain, Chile, Uruguay and other locations in Africa and Europe.

The team was relegated to the Mexican Primera A at the end of the Clausura 2005. The team won the "Apertura 2006" tournament in an exciting match against Salamanca. On May 26th, 2007, Puebla won back the right to play in Mexico's premier soccer league, by defeating Dorados de Sinaloa in the Cuauhtémoc stadium, packed with more than 45,000 fans. Celebrations all around Puebla city ensued, reminding of the celebrations in 1983 and 1990, when the team won the championship of the premier league. Puebla now has the opportunity to relive those former days of glory.
