History
Club cardinals atlas was founded in a bar of Guadalajara, Mexico, where a few friends recalled their football experience at English college squads where they had spent the last few years. Alfonso and Juan José "Lico" Cortina, Pedro "Perico" and Carlos Fernández del Valle, the three Orendain brothers and Federico Collignon (who had studied in Berlin) finally decided in the summer of 1910 to set up a football team called "Club Atlas" and founded it in Tlaquepaque, outside the city of Guadalajara.
The technical ability that the "Atlistas" employed - triangular passing and skillful dribbling to avoid opponents' tackles - was impressive and they quickly joined the elite in Mexican football. As a result, Atlas and Chivas, a fellow Guadalajara team, have a long history in the first division and the game between them is called the 'Clásico Tapatío'.
