Club Deportivo Leones Negros de la Universidad de Guadalajara, abbreviated and simply known as Leones Negros UdeG or Leones Negros, is a Mexican professional football club based in Guadalajara, Jalisco, that currently plays in Liga de Expansión MX, the second level division of Mexican football. The club was founded in 1970 as Venados UdeG, two years later it changed to its current name.
The Universidad de Guadalajara football club, nicknamed Leones Negros (Black Lions) started in the Tercera División de México, where they played for two seasons after which they gained promotion to Segunda División de México.
They reached the top division by acquiring the Primera División's franchise of Torreón, Coahuila (Club Torreón) and moving it to Guadalajara, Jalisco after the 1973-1974 season and renaming it Club Deportivo Leones Negros de la Universidad de Guadalajara.
During their first years in the Primera División de México they had several skilled Brazilian players, reason for which noted sports broadcaster Ángel Fernández started to call them "Leones Negros" (the Black Lions), a nickname that stuck and remains part of the folklore of Mexican football.
In the 1975–76, 1976–77 and 1989–90 seasons, the team achieved the runners-up in the Primera División. In addition, in 1978 the club won the CONCACAF Champions' Cup together with the clubs Comunicaciones F.C. from Guatemala and Defence Force F.C. from Trinidad and Tobago.
After 20 years in top flight football the team was in decline, alleged questionable financial dealings, a very poor squad and hardly any local fans (who are loyal to more popular teams like Guadalajara, better known as "Chivas" and to a lesser extent, Atlas) Leones Negros were acquired by the FMF, to make way for the reduction in the number of teams in the Primera División. Their last game was on May 27, 1994 against Atlas, in which they lost 2–1.
After the disappearance of the team by the Federación Mexicana de Fútbol, the franchise maintained the third division reserve squad, that become the main team, the club obtained a title in the verano 1997 tournament, gaining promotion to the Primera División 'A' de México where they stayed until the franchise was sold and moved to Orizaba, Veracruz in 2002. During this time the franchise was named Atlético Bachilleres, name it had since the 1970s when the reserve team was established.
Between 2002 and 2009 the team played as Cachorros UdeG in te Segunda División de México in the Norte region and a few seasons back was close to gaining promotion to the Primera División 'A' de México, first losing the final against, Académicos and then losing to Chivas La Piedad. For the Apertura 2007 season they changed stadium to Estadio Municipal Santa Rosa in Ciudad Guzmán, Jalisco, but have stated that some of their home games will still played at their traditional home in twice worldcup host Estadio Jalisco. In 2009, Cachorros UdeG became the reserve team of the club, a situation that remained until 2014, when it became Leones Negros UdeG Premier.
