Puebla, the football club in Liga MX, has had a significant influence from Spanish players throughout its 80-year history. Since its debut in the Primera División in the 1944-45 season, the team has featured 23 footballers born in Spain, making it one of the Mexican clubs with the greatest tradition in this regard. Among the early standout players were Sabino Aguirre, Manuel Pando, and goalkeeper José Iborra, who were part of the founding team. During the 1950s, the arrival of new Spanish talents like Gonzalo Iturbe and Manuel del Toro helped strengthen the team. In 1970, Puebla regained its place in the Primera División and also welcomed Benito Pardo, a Spanish footballer who left a mark on the club. The arrival of legends like Juan Manuel Asensi and José Martínez “Pirri” in 1980 further solidified Puebla's image as an attractive destination for Spanish footballers. In the 1990s, the tradition continued with the arrival of Francisco “Paquete” Higuera and Carlos Muñoz, who brought their experience and talent to the club. Miguel Pardeza, part of the famous “Quinta del Buitre” from Real Madrid, also joined Puebla, strengthening the connection with Spanish football. The most recent Spanish figure to wear Puebla's jersey was Luis García Sanz, who arrived in 2011. Today, 80 years later, Puebla continues to keep alive a unique story with Spain, reflecting the rich cultural and football heritage that has influenced the club's development over the decades.
