History

In the summer of 2020 UACH F.C. was put on hiatus due to financial problems as a result of the impact of COVID-19, leaving Chihuahua City without a professional football team.[3] Subsequently, some initiatives arose to return football to the city, especially through the purchase of a franchise in the Liga de Expansión MX, however, there was no agreement to finalize the purchase of a new team.[4][5]

After the failure of the initial plans, the owners of Grupo Xoy Capital obtained the franchise belonging to UACH F.C., which had been on hiatus since 2020 and shared the city with Chihuahua F.C. In May 2022 the new team was officially presented.[6]
