Club San Luis, known more commonly as San Luis, is a Mexican professional football (soccer) club from the city of San Luis Potosí. The team's nickname of Tuneros is a reference to the tuna fruit farmers who live and work in the surrounding area. The nickname Tribu Real is a reference to the fact that the team was once named Real San Luis. San Luis play their home games at Alfonso Lastras Ramirez stadium. They formerly played at Plan de San Luis stadium (named after a military plan proposed by Francisco I. Madero at the height of the Mexican Revolution of 1910).

[edit] History
The team was bought out by Televisa in 2001 and transformed into a minor league affiliate for its first division team, América. The next year, San Luis qualified for the Primera División A playoffs and later won a promotion to the Primera División de México. Without much success, the team descended back to the Primera División A in 2004. It wouldn't take long for them to return though. Under the leadership of their former coach Carlos Reinoso, San Luis won their second promotion in 2005. They barely avoided relegation during the 2005-2006 season under the leadership of their new coach, Raul Arias. However, Club San Luis has entered into their first liguilla (post season tournament) this year and has made it all the way to the final (2006). By joining their former affiliate America, Televisa now owns four teams in the Primera División de México, including both Atlante and Necaxa. San Luis is also known for their fans support. La Guerrilla is San Luis's official Cheering squad or barra (in spanish) which is one of the most loyal barras in Mexico.
