==History==

===Early years (1954–1970)===
Celaya was established as a football club on 7 February 1954 as Celaya Fútbol Club, A.C. by Miguel Iriarte Montes, the first club president. Celaya registered in the [[Segunda División Profesional]], which at that time it was the second most important league in Mexico. In its second year of existence the club finished runner-up to [[C.F. Monterrey|Monterrey]], who achieved to promotion to the [[Mexican Primera División]].

In 1957–58 the club achieved promotion after winning the season. The club did not lose in their first 18 games. The club's promotion became official on 15 December 1957 when the club defeated [[Nacional de Guadalajara|Nacional]] 2–1 under the management of the [[Argentine]] Florencio Caffaratti. Celaya replace relegated [[Tampico Madero F.C.|Tampico Madero]]. Celaya played in Primera División de México from 1958 to 1961 and disappeared in the 1970s. After reactivation, they played in Primera División A (second level) and became a farm team of [[Querétaro F.C.|Querétaro]]. When this club was relegated after 2006–07 season, Celaya was absorbed and disappeared.

The club made its first division appearance on 13 July 1958 against [[Club América|América]], losing 4–1. The first goal scored in the top division was by Felipe Negrete in a confusing play, although Mateo De la Tijera possibly should have been credited. The club struggled in its first games and did not win till round 8 when they beat [[Real Zamora|Zamora]] 3–2. The club managed to stay in its league by just one point over last-place [[C.D. Cuautla|Cuautla]]. That year the club finished 13 in the league with 19 points, winning 4 games. Ranulfo "Chapulin" Rosas  was the club's top scorer with 8 followed by Jones and Appicciafoco with 5.

For the 1959–60 tournament the club showed little improvement, finishing 12th in the league with 12 points, leaving the relegation fight to [[Monarcas Morelia|Atletico Morelia]] and [[Real Zamora|Zamora]]. Ferreyra was that year's top scorer with 9 goals, followed by Ortiz with 8 and Cabañas with 4.

The club's mediocre play caught up with it in the 1960–61 tournament. After finishing last with a record of 6 wins, 7 draws and 13 losses totaling 19 points it was relegated. The club had started the tournament red hot but cooled when trainer Florencio Caffaratti left, elevating Gabriel Uñate who failed to win a single game. In that relegated squad Quaglia, J. Mercado and Ismael Ferreyra were the few players who had a good year scoring 7, 5, and 4 goals in order.

===1970–1993===
The club spent the 1960s in Second division where after 10 mediocre years, the club finally folded in the 1970s. A few years later the club along with club Tecnológico de Celaya was brought back to give Celaya professional football. Club Celaya enrolled in the [[Tercera División de México]] and in the 1973–74  the club won the league. Club Celaya lost the 1975–76 [[Segunda División de México]] final to [[San Luis F.C.|San Luis]] and Tecnológico de Celaya would later be relegated to [[Tercera División de México]].

The club spent the 1980s playing on and off in the [[Segunda División de México|Segunda B]] before taking some time off and reappearing in [[Liga de Ascenso|Segunda A]] in 1991. From 1991 to 1993 2 clubs again represented the city; club Celaya and Linces Celaya.

===Atletico Celaya era (1994–2004)===
The club returned in 1994 when the two second-division clubs Atlético Cuernavaca (Morelos) and Escuadra Celeste de Celaya (Guanajuato) merged. Another team, Atlético Español&nbsp;– not to be mistaken for the [[Atlético Español|same-named]] Mexico City team&nbsp;– was merged later.

All merging clubs brought a piece of their old identity into the new club: Atlético Cuernavaca offered its name; Celeste de Celaya offered their light blue colors and Atlético Español provided their mascot, the bull, engendering their nickname ''toros'' (bulls).

[[Atlético Celaya]] under [[Enrique Fernández Prado]] administration took the second-division position of their predecessors and immediately reached the top level. They joined [[Mexican Primera División|Primera División]] after winning the 1994–1995 [[Liga de Ascenso]] tournament where they managed to beat [[C.F. Pachuca|Pachuca]]. Prior to the 1995–96 tournament the club brought in former [[Real Madrid C.F.|Real Madrid]] greats [[Emilio Butragueño]] and [[Hugo Sánchez]] who led the club to the Final with a record of 14/10/10 for a total of 52 points, qualifying them for the quarter-finals for the first time in club history. The club defeated [[C.F. Monterrey|Monterrey]] in the quarter-finals, first in [[Monterrey]], ending in a 2–2 draw, then in Celaya where the clubs again tied, 0–0. In the semi-finals they faced [[Tiburones Rojos de Veracruz]], first in [[Veracruz]] where Celaya took a 1–0 series advantage, then in Celaya where Celaya scored 5 goals, reaching its first Final in the Mexican Primera División. In the final the club faced [[Club Necaxa|Necaxa]], who had beaten [[Tigres UANL]] in the quarter-finals and [[Club América|América]] in the semi-finals. In the Celaya match the clubs drew at 1–1. In the following Mexico city contest they tied at 0–0. In a controversial decision the league decided not to play extra time or a penalty shootout and awarded Necaxa the title for their away goal in Celaya.

In the '''1996–97''' tournament the club finished last in group 4 at 5/10/2 for a total of 17 points.

Thereafter the club inhabited the lower regions. They had financial problems which led to the sale of their first-division-license in winter 2002–03. When Atlético Celaya has disappeared, their older city neighbor Club Celaya was reactivated again when [[Reboceros de La Piedad|La Piedad]] moved to Celaya. This club was made up by well-known players [[Mauro Néstor Gerk]], Antonio Lomelí, Felipe Robles, Luis Fernando "Scoponi" Sandoval, [[Marcos Antonio García Nascimento|Nasa]], Javier Chávez González, David Pacheco and [[Josemir Lujambio]] but the club folded yet again 2004.

===Modern times===
The club once again revived in 2007 when the city and First division club [[Querétaro F.C.|Querétaro]] came to an agreement where Celaya would be Queretaros [[Liga de Ascenso|Primera A]] affiliate. The club's first year back qualified for the play-offs, but in a controversial decision the club was eliminated by the federation for an ineligible player. The club was later sold due to the fact the [[Querétaro F.C.|Querétaro]] had been relegated from the first division which allowed two clubs to be operated by the same owner. The club has been playing in the [[Segunda División de México]] since 2008. In the 2010 Apertura the club defeated [[Tampico Madero F.C.|Tampico Madero]] in the final and was crowned the champion in [[Tamaulipas]].

In 2011, the team was promoted to the [[Ascenso MX]], reaching the league semifinals in the 2016 Apertura and 2017 Apertura tournaments. In 2020, the Ascenso MX was transformed into the [[Liga de Expansión MX]], a player development league in which promotion to Liga MX was suspended for six years. Celaya finished runner-up in the 2022 Apertura and 2024 Apertura tournaments.

In 2023, Celaya began to enter an institutional crisis due to the Achar family, owners of the club, selling the team to an alliance formed by businessman José Hanan and sports representative Carlos Benavides. However, this operation was never officially recognized by the league and the FMF, which complicated the team's management.<ref>{{cite web |title=Abordan alcalde y directivos del club Celaya adeudo, posible cambio de sede y próxima temporada |url=https://oem.com.mx/elsoldelbajio/local/alcalde-sostiene-reunion-privada-con-directivos-del-club-celaya-para-analizar-continuidad-del-equipo-y-posible-cambio-de-sede-24284424 |website=El Sol de Celaya |access-date=29 June 2025 |language=es |date=16 June 2025}}</ref> 

In June 2025, an attempt was made to sell the team to businessman Bernardo Pasquel, owner of the Águila de Veracruz baseball team. However, the sale was blocked by the owners of other Liga de Expansión teams, leaving Celaya F.C.'s future in limbo.<ref>{{cite web |title=No habrá futbol profesional en Veracruz; Liga Expansión MX cancela cambio de sede del Celaya |url=https://oem.com.mx/diariodexalapa/deportes/liga-expansion-mx-cancela-cambio-de-sede-del-celaya-no-habra-piratas-de-veracruz-esta-temporada-24339286 |website=Diario de Xalapa |access-date=29 June 2025 |language=es |date=19 June 2025}}</ref> After the sale of the team was blocked, a group of local businessmen attempted to initiate a project to rescue the team and ensure its continuity in the Liga de Expansión. However, the interested parties were unsuccessful in obtaining the franchise, and the Celaya main team went into hiatus for the 2025–26 season.<ref>{{cite web |title=Congela Club Celaya oficialmente la franquicia para el torneo de Apertura 2025 |url=https://oem.com.mx/elsoldelbajio/deportes/congela-club-celaya-la-franquicia-para-el-torneo-de-apertura-2025-24680016 |website=El Sol de Bajío |access-date=11 July 2025 |language=es |date=9 July 2025}}</ref>

Due to the team's uncertainty, a group of local sponsors of Celaya F.C. founded a new squad to compete in the [[Liga Premier de México]] (third tier of Mexican football). The new team was called ''Club Celaya'', ensuring the historical continuity of the team.<ref name="Celaya 2025">{{cite web |title=CELAYA TENDRÁ EQUIPO Y ES FILIAL |url=https://ligapremiermagazine.mx/#/noticias/2025-06-28-celaya-tendra-equipo-y-es-filial |website=Liga Premier Magazine |access-date=29 June 2025 |language=es |date=28 June 2025}}</ref> During the 2025–26 season, this squad will serve as the club's de facto first team; however, it is legally registered as a reserves team, therefore, in principle, it will not have the right to promote to the Liga de Expansión and is subject to what happens with the main franchise in the next window of name and venue changes, which will occur in the summer of 2026.<ref name="Artículo 7" />

On July 22, 2025, the company that owns Celaya F.C. agreed to transfer the identity and sporting participation rights of the [[Celaya F.C. Premier|club's reserves team]] to businessman Cristian Ríos, thus formalizing Celaya's continued presence in the third tier of Mexican football.<ref>{{cite web |title=Oficial… Celaya es equipo de Liga Premier con un proyecto 100% celayense |url=https://deportedigital.mx/oficial-celaya-es-equipo-de-liga-premier-con-un-proyecto-100-celayense |website=DxT Digital |access-date=23 July 2025 |language=es |date=22 July 2025}}</ref>

==Stadium==
{{Main|Estadio Miguel Alemán Valdés}}
Estadio Miguel Alemán was built and opened in 1954 in [[Celaya|Celaya, Guanajuato]]. It was rebuilt 40 years later to the guidelines of the Mexican Football Federation and host to the first league meet. It was renamed in honor of President Miguel Alemán Valdés. Local teams including FC Celaya (1958–61) and Atletico Celaya Bulls (1995–02) played there.

Capacity stands at 23,182 spectators. Its design is similar to a traditional English stadium grandstand.

==Crest and colours==
The club's original colors in the 1950s were red and white. In the late 1980s and early 1990s, the club started using black and white with a topical v shape across the chest for home games and a black stripe shirt for away games, which they still use to this date.
