Here's another collection of lazy things from me, following this and this
C.F. San Fransisco are a professional football club playing in the Liga Superior de Mexico, the top-flight division of the Mexican Empire. They are the largest club representing the metropolitan area of San Francisco and among the most successful clubs in the history of Mexico.
Founded in 1902 by employees of the electrical company Luz de California San Quentin, the club enjoyed a successful early period in the Liga de California, winning the league eleven times between 1902 and 1924. It was the first club in California to build its own dedicated stadium and training grounds, located adjacent to the company property in San Quentin.
In 1924, as was common in the period of extreme competition, Luz de California, the main sponsor and parent company of the club, was bought out and its assets folded into its long-term rival, Imperial Gas and Electric, whose owner had no interest in supporting the club.
C.F. Luz de California was kept alive by a group of former staff and players headed by former company manager Gonzalo de Luna, but soon dropped out of competitive football. It played only friendly matches on a field belonging to the Catholic University of California between 1929 and 1938, as de Luna lacked the funds to maintain the club's stadium in usable shape.
The stadium and the land beneath it were sold to Julio Yang, a textile and department store magnate from San Antonio who decided to relocate to San Francisco following a wave of anti-Chinese unrest in Eastern Mexico. The old stadium now hosts the oldest of the iconic Havana department stores in California. Yang took an interest in reviving the club and, after acquiring a new field in the developing suburb of Los Zarapitos, C.F. San Francisco returned to professional football in 1938, reaching the quarter-final of the Imperial Cup that same year.
C.F. San Francisco joined the Mexico-wide Liga Profesional in 1943. In its first few years, the club faced a lot of hostility during its away games in Central and Eastern Mexico, being perceived as too foreign due to its largely immigrant playing roster, its Chinese-Mexican owners, and the fears that the boomtowns of California were taking jobs away from cities elsewhere in Mexico. The colour of the uniforms and the early battles fought against its rivals earned C.F. San Francisco the nickname of Sol y Sangre (Sun and Blood), which is still used as part of a chant by its fans.
C.F. San Francisco was moved to the Liga Superior for the first time in the winter season of 1963, replacing the insolvent CDS Nuevo Leon, and has remained there ever since, surviving several relegation battles and eventually establishing itself as a regular challenger for the domestic and American titles.
The club has finished first in the league of summer 1978, winter 1981, winter 1982, summer 1990, summer 1998, winter 1999, summer 1999, and winter 2006. The club won the playoffs in summer 1978, winter 1982, winter 1983, summer 2000 and summer 2013. It won the Imperial Cup in 1983, 1997 and 2001. It won the continental Champions League three times: in 1981, 1998 and 2006, and reached the final on two other occasions. It also won the second-tier continental America League in 1976, 1980 and 2001.

I think that word must mean something different in this ATL.
