History

The team was founded on May 7, 2021, with the aim of recovering professional football in Cuernavaca,[2] a city that had been left without sports representation after the dissolution of Halcones de Morelos in 2018. In the presentation of the club, the team named Héctor Anguiano as their manager with the aim of creating a team in which local players had an important presence within the squad.[3][4]

The team was officially entered into soccer competitions on July 30, 2021, when its entry into the Liga Premier – Serie A was announced, the club was placed in Group 2 of this category.[5] After entering the league, the team met its first players: Sebastián Madrid, Francisco Córdova and Enzo Díez.[6]

On May 25, 2023, the team announced its relocation from Cuernavaca to Zacatepec to play at the Estadio Agustín "Coruco" Díaz, with the aim of returning professional football to that city that had been left without a team since 2020.[7] After the relocation of the team, it had a change in its graphic identity, for which it added the white and green colors, characteristic of the Zacatepec teams, eliminating the orange color that they had used between 2021 and 2023.[8]
