history

After the acquisition of the traditional club CD Estudiantes Tecos by Grupo Pachuca and its failure in the promotion final to the first division against city ​​rival Leones Negros , the owner of CF Pachuca and other football clubs dissolved the one in the greater Guadalajara area (in the 2014/15 season by three first division clubs - Atlas , Chivas and Leones Negros - represented) based club and transferred his license to Zacatecas, where there has been no second division football since the license sale by Real Sociedad de Zacatecas at the end of the 2002/03 season . The new club has a starting place in the second division season 2014/15 and reactivated - at least in name - an old club that brought professional football to the state of Zacatecas for the first time in the season 1986/87 after the then governor of the state, Genaro Borrego Estrada, who had acquired the license to participate in the then second-class Segunda División 'A' . The team consisted largely of players from their own region, but should be systematically reinforced with players from other regions. This plan ultimately turned out to be a fiasco. Because the dearly bought players did not meet the expectations placed in them and there was also considerable tension between the newcomers and the local players. The sporting results were accordingly and led at the end of the season to relegation to the third-class Segunda División 'B' . The Mineros team only played there for a year before it was disbanded at the end of the 1987/88 season.
