ACF Zapotlanejo is a Mexican football club that plays in the Liga Premier – Serie A. It is based in the city of Zapotlanejo.
History
In 2021, Acatlán F.C., then a member team of the Liga TDP, moved to Zapotlanejo because the city had better infrastructure conditions than its hometown of Acatlán de Juárez. In 2024, the team was promoted to the Liga Premier – Serie A, the third tier of Mexican football.[1]
In the 2024–25 season, Acatlán F.C. left Zapotlanejo due to the local stadium being damaged by a rainstorm, attempting to establish alternative projects in Tepatitlán and Arandas although none of them achieved their objective.[2]
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.[3] 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.[4]
