History

The team was created in 2016 after that the Vaqueros Bellavista left the town.

In the 2017–2018 season, Acatlán finished as group champion. In the promotion playoffs, the team eliminated Troyanos UDEM, Tuzos UAZ, Club Hidalguense, Atlético Valladolid, Águilas UAS and C.D. Uruapan, to reach division final.[1] In the final of the category, Acatlán faced the F.C. Marina tied for 1–1 in the aggregate, in the penalty shootout, Acatlán won 4–5 getting its first title in their history.[2]

Despite winning the promotion to the Liga Premier – Serie A, the team was not certified to participate in the division, so its franchise was relocated to Tepic, Nayarit and was renamed to Coras de Nayarit F.C.[3] In the 2018–2019 season, the Acatlán team remained, but played with the name Futcenter. In 2019, the team returned to its original name officially.

In the 2023–24 season, the team once again won promotion to the Liga Premier – Serie A. On May 25, 2024, Acatlán defeated Tigres de Alica F.C. to achieve promotion,[4] finally, the team finished the season as runners-up in the Liga TDP after being defeated by Faraones de Texcoco in the national final.[5]
