History
The club was founded in August 2017 and from that year began to participate in the Liga TDP.[1] The team officially debuted on September 2, defeating Monarcas Zacapu 3–0.[2] Alexis Casas scored the first goal in the club's history. The team has reached the promotion playoffs in its three full seasons, falling all times in the round of 32.
In August 2021 Eleazar Molina Segura, who was the president and owner of the club, passed away, so the team went on hiatus for the 2021–22 season due to financial difficulties provoked by the death of its owner.[3] In 2022 the club's hiatus period expired, for which it was dissolved when it did not resume its activity.
