History

The team was founded in 1988 as a representative team from Acapulco,[1] later it became the property of the Government of Guerrero, which decided to move the team to Chilpancingo, the state capital. Since its foundation, the team has played in the Third Division. In 2013 the team reached the round of 16 of the tournament, being their best recent participation.[2]

On September 26, 2014 the team played a game as a visitor in the city of Iguala, Guerrero, after finishing the match, the team was returning to their city when it was attacked in a shootout related to the 2014 Iguala mass kidnapping, the player David Josué García Evangelista was killed on the spot, while twelve other members of the team and coaching staff were injured.[3][4] In November 2014 the team returned to play matches after a month without activity.[5]

In 2019, the team entered an economic crisis after the assassination of its president,[6] so the Chilpancingo City Council and the Government of Guerrero intervened in the club to ensure its continuity.[7][8]
