La Luz Fútbol Club (often called La Luz) is a professional Uruguayan football club from Aires Puros, Montevideo, who currently play in the Uruguayan Segunda División.
The bar they were in was one of the few buildings in the area that had electricity by that time, and this is where the name "La Luz" came from.
In 1962, the club won the Intermedia title and was promoted for the first time to the second division (Primera B).
Having lost 3-0 in the first leg to Villa Teresa, the penultimate placed team in the second division, La Luz was able to tie the series up and win on penalties, returning to professional football for the first time in 13 years.
In 2022 they also achieved promotion to the top flight for the first time in club history, after finishing league runner-up behind Racing Montevideo.
