The club was founded in 2002 when Atlético Celaya was moved to Morelos where they changed the club's colors and badge. There were problems with the club from the beginning when club Zacatepec protested with the city claiming that they did not want another club in the city that played in a higher division than them who played in the second division. Soon after there were problems with their stadium which was built near a rocky place which the federation implied the fans might use them as weapons. The club's first matches were surprisingly good winning the first 3 out of 4 matches, but soon more controversy came up when players and coaches alike claimed that their monthly paychecks had bounce. In 2003 their stadium was finally approved by the federation and played there from 2002–2003. After the season they were relegated.
