Tecos F.C.

Tecos Fútbol Club, simplified as Tecos FC, is a Mexican professional football club based in Zapopan, Jalisco. It competes in Liga Premier, the third level division of Mexican football, and plays its home matches at the Estadio Tres de Marzo. Founded in 1971 as Club de Fútbol Universidad Autónoma de Guadalajara and commonly known as Tecos UAG, the club represents the Universidad Autónoma de Guadalajara, it changed its name to Club Deportivo Estudiantes Tecos in 2009. After the franchise was moved to Zacatecas and renamed Mineros de Zacatecas in 2014, the club was later revived in 2015 and rebranded under its current name.

Tecos FC have won the Primera División de México once and is the only team in Mexican football history to ascend from the two lower divisions and get the Championship (the other team that ascended from lower divisions was Oaxtepec, though it descended later). The club was runner-up in the Mexican League's Clausura 2005, after losing to América in the second game, 6–3.

On April 14, 2012, Estudiantes Tecos was relegated to Mexico's Liga de Ascenso after gaining the lowest percentage of points got in the last three years against Atlas and Querétaro. The last straw was a combination of a draw between Estudiantes Tecos and Puebla and a victory achieved by Atlas against Monterrey.

Estudiantes Tecos won the Clausura 2014 Ascenso MX championship, but lost the promotional final against Leones Negros. On May 22, 2014, Grupo Pachuca president, Jesús Martínez Patiño, announced Estudiantes Tecos would change its location and move to the city of Zacatecas, Zacatecas. On May 28, 2014, the move was confirmed and the club changed its name to Mineros de Zacatecas, and Estudiantes Tecos were dissolved.

After being dissolved, they still had a team in Mexico's Third Division, the Segunda División de México, but were not allowed to be promoted into the Liga de Ascenso de México because they were considered a subsidiary of Mineros de Zacatecas.

In August 2015, the Leaño family announced they had bought the image rights from Grupo Pachuca, thus, re-founding the club to play in the Tercera División de México, the fourth tier of Mexican football.

After the 2016–2017 season in the Tercera División, Tecos F.C. managed a 4–2 victory against Pachuca in a semi-finals match, which promoted them to the Segunda División de México despite losing to Sporting Canamy in a penalty shootout after a 2–2 final match.
