At a time when the city of Querétaro, which was represented in the first division between 1980 and 1994 with a total of three clubs (the Atletas Campesinos from 1980 to 1982, the Cobras in the 1986/87 season and the Querétaro Fútbol Club from 1990 to 1994) had been in the top division the withdrawal of UAQ at the end of the 1994/95 season from the Primera División 'A' was no longer represented in the second division , a new franchise was launched with the "Halcones" , which due to the expansion of the Primera División 'A 'Was inducted into the league from 17 to 21 teams in the summer of 1997. The other three newly added teams were the CF Cuautitlán , the Jaguares de Colima and Unión de Curtidores .
The Halcones spent between 1997 and 2001 a total of four years or eight semi-annual seasons in the second division. The team never managed to qualify for the championship finals and they would have been relegated after three years, but saved their place in the league by purchasing the Jaguares de Colima license. But the performance remained unchanged and so she was overtaken again a year later by relegation, which this time could not be prevented in practice. At the same time, the last starving traditional club Querétaro FC acquired the second division license from Atlético Yucatán , rose in the 2001/02 season in the Primera División 'A' and returned a year later (also through a license acquisition) in the first division. The return of the Gallos Blancos , which are extremely popular in the city, on the big football stage ultimately made the Halcones superfluous, so they stopped their game operations.
