History

In 2015, the team won the championship of Tercera División after defeating Sporting Canamy.[2] The team competed for a season in Liga de Nuevos Talentos after failing to meet the requirements to promote to Liga Premier de Ascenso. With the federative seat of CDU Uruapan, another team called Titanes de Saltillo was created, finally, the CDU Uruapan returned to Tercera División.[3]

In July 2018, the team was refounded with the name Aguacateros Club Deportivo Uruapan after the merger of Club Deportivo Uruapan and the team Originales Aguacateros de Uruapan with the aim of creating a unified team that represents the city as well as looking for an economic saving, since instead of financing two clubs, it would be one. The new team occupied the federative position belonging to Originals Aguacateros, formed with players from both clubs and acquired the technical body of the CDU.[4]

Meanwhile, the CDU franchise was rented to a group of entrepreneurs who created another team called Futcenter, which is based in Tlalnepantla de Baz, State of Mexico. This club uses the CDU Uruapan name as a registration in the Mexican Football Federation, but it is completely separate from the Michoacán-based team.

On June 28, 2019, the team was accepted as a new member of the Liga Premier de México – Serie B.
