Suárez had already established a sports complex in 2018, covering eight hectares and including a synthetic turf stadium with a capacity for 1,400 spectators, a 7-a-side soccer field for 620 people, three other natural turf fields and other facilities such as gymnasiums and swimming pools. LSM was born as an ambitious continuation of that project, focused on offering children and young people a solid platform to grow in sports and in the human aspect.{{cite web |url=https://www.elobservador.com.uy/futbol/deportivo-lsm-la-impactante-cifra-redes-del-equipo-luis-suarez-y-lionel-messi-y-el-comunicado-el-que-destacaron-el-foco-la-formacion-futbolistas-n6001540 |title=Deportivo LSM: las impactantes cifras en Instagram del equipo de Luis Suárez y Lionel Messi y el comunicado en el que destacaron el foco en la formación de futbolistas |website=El Observador |date=28 May 2025 |access-date=30 May 2025 |language=es }} LSM will officially compete in the Uruguayan Football Association.
