Former Atlas star Julián Quiñones honored his former club on its 110th anniversary with a heartfelt social media message.
The Mexican club Atlas has celebrated its 110th anniversary. Known for its passionate fanbase and rich history, the club remains a cornerstone of Mexican football, even if its trophy cabinet is more modest than those of its rivals.
Julián Quiñones, who currently plays for Al-Qadisiya, remains a beloved figure among the Atlas faithful. During his time with the team, he became an icon and a key player in their historic back-to-back championship victories in 2021 and 2022. Despite playing abroad, he took to social media to share his affection for the club.
Happy 110 years of history and great dedication, my Atlas, always in my heart. Enjoy, I send many hugs to the most loyal fans. Julián Quiñones
The forward also shared a photo of himself kissing the club's badge during a match from their title-winning run. Atlas fans, famously known as the 'Fiel', responded with gratitude, acknowledging his status as an absolute legend of the club. During his tenure, Quiñones recorded 36 goals and 12 assists in 86 appearances.
While Atlas holds only three Liga MX titles, their legacy is defined by the loyalty of their supporters and the iconic players who have worn the red and black jersey over the last century.
