Estudiantes de Mérida Fútbol Club is a historic and popular club from the Andean city of Mérida, competing in Venezuela's Primera División. They are known as "Los Académicos" and play their home games at the monumental Estadio Metropolitano de Mérida. Founded in 1971, the club's colors are red and blue. The name "Estudiantes" reflects the city's deep academic tradition as a major university hub.

That team was celebrated for its attractive, attacking football. In the modern era, Estudiantes de Mérida has experienced a resurgence, returning to the top flight and re-establishing themselves as a competitive entity. Recent seasons have seen them qualify for international competitions and produce exciting young talent. The current squad aims to blend this youthful energy with experienced leadership. The fan base is among the most passionate and numerous in Venezuela, famously filling the Metropolitano with a sea of red and blue. Estudiantes de Mérida is more than a football club; it is a symbol of Andean pride and a key protagonist in the national sporting landscape.
