Puebla FC may disappear from Liga MX to avoid legal conflicts with the Mexican Institute of Industrial Property. According to reports, the club's board of directors is considering disappearing to avoid paying damages and losses to Ricardo Henaine, former owner of La Franja. Henaine is demanding payment for damages and losses for the violation of exclusive use rights with the brand that is his property since 2013. The Puebla team could take the name of Reales del Puebla for the 2026 Apertura. The board seeks to modify historical elements of the club, such as the shield and uniform. Even the La Franja emblem could disappear, along with the characteristic design that has identified the team for decades. This possible change would represent one of the most drastic changes in the identity of a Mexican club in recent years, generating uncertainty among the Puebla fan base. The legal conflict between Puebla and Ricardo Henaine dates back to the sale of the team by Grupo Salinas. Henaine is demanding payment for damages and losses for the violation of exclusive use rights with the brand that is his property since 2013. Specifically, Henaine is the owner of the rights to the "LA FRANJA PUEBLA FUTBOL" and "CLUB DE FUTBOL PUEBLA FC" brands. Although Azteca has contracts for the use of the brands, they expire in April of this year.
