The women’s branch, Atlante W, emerged as part of the Liga MX Femenil’s expansion in the late 2010s. Although the men’s team has moved its home base to Cancún, the women’s side continues to represent the club’s rich footballing tradition. While they have not yet reached the championship heights of their male counterparts, Atlante W has steadily developed a youthful, dynamic squad focused on building for the future.

Current Status and League Campaign

Atlante W competes in the upper echelons of the Liga MX Femenil, often battling mid-table sides aiming for playoff spots.

Players such as Daniela García (forward) and Valeria Martínez (midfielder) have been crucial in the team’s offensive production. The club has also invested in youth development, with several players moving on to represent Mexico at various youth levels. The coaching staff, led by a tactically astute manager, emphasizes discipline and team cohesion.

Rivalries and Fan Culture

Atlante W shares the historic rivalry of the men’s team, particularly against Club América and Pumas UNAM.
