Clubs that took part of the tournament were Nacional de Guadalajara, Tiburones Rojos de Veracruz, Ciudad Madero and Poza Rica. The tournament finished with Nacional de Guadalajara winning the tournament, there was a tie for runner-up between Tiburones Rojos de Veracruz and Ciudad Madero which had to play a final decisive game. That game ended in a 0-0 draw in overtime and so a penalty shootout was the last option. That shootout ended in a 5-4 victory for Tiburones Rojos de Veracruz who along with Nacional de Guadalajara were promoted to the Primera División de México and had the club play its first tournament in the Segunda División Profesional.
