La Paz Fútbol Club, also known as La Paz F.C., is a professional football (soccer) team from La Paz, currently playing in the Bolivian First Division Liga de Fútbol Profesional Boliviano. The team colors are blue and red and the uniform design is similar to that of Barcelona F.C. (Spain) and San Lorenzo de Almagro (Argentina). La Paz F.C. plays its home matches at Estadio Hernando Siles.

Formerly known as Atlético González, the team gained promotion to the First Division in 2003 (there are twelve teams in the Bolivian First Division). La Paz F.C. is the third most important in the city of La Paz, behind Bolivar and The Strongest, both of which have much longer histories, more numerous followings, and larger payrolls than La Paz F.C. Nevertheless, the team has been able to be competitive with the bigger, more established clubs by virtue of its humility, work ethic, and tenacity under pressure. The team's motto is Plus Altus, meaning "something higher"-- a reference both to the team's aspirations as well as to the team's high altitude home.

The founder, owner and president of La Paz F.C. is Mauricio González (also known as Mauricio González Sfeir). The original name of the team is in honor of Mr. González's late father Ing. Walter González (see also "Premio Academico Ing. Walter Gonzalez"), a past president of the Bolivian Society of Engineers.

The team made a major surprise in Bolivian football when on the Clausura 2007, they almost won the tournament, losing 1-0 on the final match agaisnt San José, afeat never achieved by such small team.

La Paz F.C. fields mostly Bolivian players; however, it has also benefited from the services of Argentinean, Brazilian,Colombian, Peruvian and United States players. In addition, several La Paz F.C. players have played in Europe.
