Artilleros de Puebla (English: Puebla Artillerymen) were a professional American football team based in Puebla City, Mexico. The Artilleros competed in the Central Division of the Liga de Fútbol Americano Profesional, the top American football league in Mexico. The team played its home games at the Estadio Universitario BUAP. During its existence, the team never made it to playoffs.
The team was founded on 17 August 2018, as the first team of the 2019 Liga de Fútbol Americano Profesional expansion (the other being the Osos), and the seventh team overall in the LFA.[1]
The name of the team is a tribute to the patriots that defeated the army of the Second French Empire at the Battle of Puebla in 1862. Artilleros is the Spanish word for artillerymen.[2]
On their first season, Artilleros debuted with a victory against the 2018 champions, Mexicas.[3] Despite finishing the season with 5–3 record, the team was unable to qualify for the playoffs after losing their last game of the season against Mayas 20–25.[4]
The team folded in February 2021 prior to the beginning of the 2021 LFA season.[5]
In 2020, Artilleros moved from the Templo del Dolor to the Estadio Universitario BUAP, with a larger capacity of 19,283 seated spectators.[7] The stadium, originally built from 1997–1999, was renovated in 2012 and used to host Lobos BUAPLiga MX matches until 2019, when the club was dissolved.
Nacho was first introduced in the first game of the 2019 season, against the Mexicas. Since, Nacho makes appearances at every Artilleros' home game at the Estadio Templo del Dolor.
