LICO

Lico is the mascot of Atlas, a fox symbolizing the agility and strategy associated with the club since the 1960s. The name honors Juan José Cortina, the founder of the red and black team, who earned the nickname “Lico.”

AGUI

The blue creams feature Aguí, an eagle that greets fans at games. Aguí strolls through the Aztec Stadium bleachers and corridors, posing for photos with supporters before and after matches.

WARRIOR

The Warrior represents the club’s enduring spirit. This character, introduced to connect with fans, is noted for his distinctive presence and resilience on the field and among the stands.

CHIVA FIGHTER

Chiva Fighter is the modern face of a long-running tradition. After years with multiple mascots, the club embraced a dynamic character who energizes the ChivaHermanos and even has a dedicated strip, continuing the team’s lively folklore.

PACHUS

Pachus debuted in 1996 as a mascot with a rich First Division history. Unlike some more theatrical characters, Pachus is seen touring stadiums and community events, spreading team pride across La Bella Airosa and beyond.

GARRITS

Garrits, the club’s lion mascot, is famous for his bold look and energetic presence at games. He is also a popular figure on social media, reflecting the team’s wild and charismatic image.

TEDDY TIGER

Teddy Tiger is a beloved stuffed tiger known for his bold costumes. While some fans miss the stronger, older version, Teddy Tiger remains a central figure for supporters of the club, especially at large gatherings and celebrations.

BLUE

Blue is a steadfast supporter of the Celestials. Fans often mistake him for a rabbit, but Blue is a fierce, independent mascot who has cheered the team since the Estadio Azul era and through the famed “ninth” curse that lasted for years.

MONTY

Monty is the club’s dog mascot, a playful nod to Monterrey, the city that hosts the team. Introduced in 2008 for a match against Santos, Monty’s canine charm quickly won over fans who adore his loyalty and energy.

TOLOTH

Tolotzin is the demon mascot unveiled by Toluca in Opening 2022. Fans affectionately nicknamed him Tolot, inspired by the mythic Tolotzin and his bold, mischievous persona.

GOYO

Goyo, the cougar, honors UNAM’s identity. Named after the Goya, a staple of the university’s culture, Goyo’s roots go back to the club’s early professional days when a coach noted the players’ feline traits of agility and strength.

THE STRONG ONE

The Strong One joined in support of Puebla, blending history and local pride. The character is tied to a lineage of Puebla traditions and is rumored to be connected to a local journalist, adding a playful backstory to the mascot’s role.

BENNY BRAVO

Benny Bravo celebrates Benito Juárez and the club’s brave spirit. Beyond being a natural dancer, Benny Bravo is one of the youngest Liga MX mascots, embodying energy and optimism for FC Juárez fans.

SMALL STREAM

Rayito is the latest Necaxa mascot, a beam of light rather than a creature you’d expect. Throughout Necaxa’s history, other characters like Osito Bimbo and Coyote Necaxista have appeared, each adding a layer to the club’s folklore.

FIGHTED

Lucho, the Schnauzer, belongs to Atlético de San Luis. This loyal pup stands for compassion toward homeless animals and highlights the club’s dedication to community welfare and lasting companionship between humans and dogs.

CRACK PIRATE

Mazatlán joined the fun by inviting fans to name the new pirate mascot for Los Cañoneros at El Kraken. The result, Captain Krak, became a colorful symbol parading across the field on match days.

XOLO MAJOR

Tijuana chose a xoloitzcuintle dog to represent the team. Known as Xolo Mayor, this mascot often pops up on the club’s TikTok, showcasing its canine charisma and border-town flair.

GALLANT

Querétaro plays up with Gallardo, the Gallos Blancos’ rooster mascot. While Cocoyo once had the role, Gallardo became the emblem most fans recognize, reinforcing the club’s identity as a proud white-rooster team.
