Querétaro Fútbol Club, also known as the Gallos Blancos (White Roosters), is a Mexican professional football club based in Querétaro that competes in Liga MX at the Estadio Corregidora. Founded on July 8, 1950, as a founding member of the Segunda División, the club earned its nickname from journalist Herrera "Periquín" Pozas for its players' fighting spirit. Domestically, they have won a Copa MX (defeating Guadalajara) and a Supercopa MX (defeating América), though they have never captured a league title. The club has featured international stars like Ronaldinho and Antonio Valencia. A pivotal moment in their history came in 1980, when the team—then known as Atletas Campesinos after Armando Presa merged two local clubs in 1977—defeated Osos Grises 2–1 in the Segunda División final to earn promotion to the top flight under manager Antonio Carbajal.
