History

Deportivo CAFESSA was founded in 2015 from a Third Division franchise called Cazcanes de Ameca, during its first season it kept the original name.[2] In 2016 it took its current name.

During its first two seasons, the team stayed in Ameca having as its ground the Núcleo Deportivo y de Espectáculos Ameca. In 2017 an agreement was reached with the municipality of Tlajomulco de Zúñiga to move the team to that city.[3]

Before starting the 2017-18 season, it was announced that Deportivo CAFESSA acquired an expansion franchise in Serie B, the fourth professional category in Mexican soccer, at the same time, a reserve team was created to compete in the third division.[4]

From 2019-20 season, Deportivo CAFESSA created a new team which was moved to Estadio Jalisco and will play in Liga Premier – Serie A.[5] The team was able to move from the stadium, after signing an agreement with the Club Jalisco, for this agreement, the club was renamed as Deportivo CAFESSA Jalisco.[6] However, the club maintained Serie B (until 2020) and Liga TDP teams with the name CAFESSA Tlajomulco.[7]
