History

The club's origins date back to 1982, when the Benito Juárez Autonomous University of Oaxaca football team began to participate in the Segunda División "B". Two years later, the university acquires the Pumas ENEP club, a Pumas UNAM reserve team and is renamed as Chapulineros de Oaxaca, playing at Segunda División "A".[3][4] After this fact, the team wandered between Segunda División "A" and Segunda "B", until 1993 when it won the Second B championship, being the only title of the club so far.[5]

In 1994 the team remains in the Segunda Divisíon after the creation of the Primera División "A", later it became a team affiliated with Toros Neza, to later be managed by the Universidad Regional del Sureste.[6]

For the 2001–02 season, the Grupo Pegaso returns to the Chapulineros to professional football after moving the Lobos UAP franchise to Oaxaca City. The team had bad results and had to play a promotion to remain in the category, which they managed to win and could continue to play in the same division. For the 2003–04 season the team disappeared again when it was relocated to Tlaxcala City, where it was renamed as Guerreros.

In August 2015, the MRCI corporate obtained the Teca UTN franchise, moved it to Oaxaca and began to participate in the Liga Premier de Ascenso as of that season.[7][8] For the 2017–18 season the team is relocated to Serie B de México due to the lack of infrastructure to be able to participate for the promotion to Ascenso MX. In 2018, the team paused its sporting activity because it did not get the endorsement to participate in the league from the FMF.[9]

In 2019 the team returned to compete in the FMF, leaving this federation the following year to join the LBM.[10]
