Club Deportivo Irapuato, is a professional football club based in Irapuato, Guanajuato. The club competes in Liga Premier (Primera Premier), the third level of Mexican football, and plays its home matches at Estadio Sergio León Chávez. Founded in 1911, it was the first football club founded in Guanajuato. Throughout its history the club was also named as Real Irapuato (2002–2004), Club Irapuato Por Siempre (2008–2013) and Club Atlético Irapuato (2019–2020). Irapuato has mostly played in the promotion divisions (second and third levels). From 2000 to 2004, the team briefly rose to prominence in the Liga MX reaching the playoffs. Historically, Irapuato has spent over 26 years in the Primera División, never quite excelling to challenge for the title. The team was relegated from the Primera División in 2004 but not because of their on-field performance, but because of financial irregularities. In 2013, the team then took a turn for the worse being relegated to Segunda División de México, the Third Division of Mexico for a year. The team briefly returned to the Liga de Ascenso in May 2014 when the Ballenas Galeana franchise was relocated to Irapuato, and also changed its name to Club Irapuato, once again giving Irapuato a football team.
