In 2021,
Acatlán, then a member team of the
Tercera División de México, was moved to Zapotlanejo because the city had better infrastructure conditions than its hometown of
Acatlán,
Jalisco. In 2024, the team was promoted to the
Liga Premier –
Serie A, the third division level of Mexican football. In the 2024–25 season, Acatlán F.C. left Zapotlanejo due to the local stadium being damaged by a severe rainstorm, attempting to establish alternative projects in
Tepatitlán and then
Arandas, although none of them achieved their objective. Following the failure of the projects in Arandas and Tepatitlán, it was announced on June 27, 2025, that the team would return to Zapotlanejo starting with the 2025–26 season. However, in order to seek greater identification with the town, on July 31, 2025 it was decided to dissolve Acatlán F.C. and use the club's license to found a new club called
ACF Zapotlanejo. ==Current squad==
