History

The team was established in 1990 having intermittent appearances in the Second and Third Division leagues of Mexico.^[2]

In 2009 the team was refounded and registered in the Liga de Nuevos Talentos, currently Serie B de México, in the 2009–10 season the team was based in Fresnillo, and remained in the league until 2013.^[3] In 2013 the team was promoted to the Liga Premier de Ascenso, current Serie A de México, because UAZ bought the Real Saltillo Soccer franchise. In 2017 the team was returned to Serie B de México because it did not meet the requirements to participate in Serie A.

In the 2018–19 season, the team returned to Serie A after meeting the participation requirements. At the end of the tournament, the team was runner-up in the league after being defeated by Loros UdeC.^[4]
