History

[edit | edit source]

In 2022, Real de Arteaga F.C. was founded in Querétaro City, this team played in the Liga Premier – Serie A during 2022–23 season, however, it failed to attract enough interest from the public and also had poor sporting results, so its owners decided to put it up for sale. On June 13, 2023, the purchase of Real de Arteaga was announced by businessmen and footballers like Héctor Mancilla and Julio César, who are based in the Monterrey area, finally the new owners moved the team to that region and renamed it Real Apodaca F.C.[2]

On June 30, 2023, the team was accepted into the Liga Premier - Serie A, being placed in Group 1.[3]

In February 2025, the club was involved in a match-fixing scandal involving betting, which resulted in the suspension of six Real Apodaca players for several years, although the team was able to continue participating normally.[4]
