Aguacateros de Peribán Fútbol Club is a Mexican professional football club based in Peribán, Michoacán, that competes in the Liga Premier, the third level division of Mexican football.

History

The team was founded in 2020, beginning to compete that same year in the Liga TDP. In 2021 and 2022 the team qualified for the final phase of the tournament, although being eliminated in the Round of 16 on both occasions.[2]

Due to its good performances in the Liga TDP, Aguacateros de Peribán was able to participate in the first edition of the Copa Conecta, finally on March 8, 2022, the team won the trophy after defeating C.D. Muxes in the penalty shoot-out.[3] Previously the team had eliminated the clubs Gorilas de Juanacatlán, Estudiantes de Querétaro, Tecos and Saltillo Soccer.

In the 2022–23 Liga TDP season, the team achieved its best historical participation in the TDP, in addition to being promoted to the Liga Premier de México - Serie A. This after eliminating the clubs AFAR Manzanillo, CEPROFFA, Tuzos UAZ, Lobos ITECA and Poza Rica.[4]

On May 27, 2023, the team was proclaimed champion of the Liga TDP season after defeating Aragón F.C. by a score of 0–2.[5]

On December 22, 2024, Peribán won its first Liga PremierSerie A championship, after defeating C.D. Irapuato 3–1 in a penalty shootout, having previously tied three goals in the aggregate score of the final series.[6]

On May 18, 2025 Peribán won the season's champions' trophy after defeating Irapuato on penalties, earning the right to be auditioned for possible promotion to the Liga de Expansión MX.[7] Ultimately, after failing the review process, the team was not invited to the second tier, so its place in that division was taken by Irapuato.[8]

On July 16, 2025 the club went on hiatus because the management prefers to wait until the completion of its new stadium to avoid problems with the approval of its field as occurred at the end of the previous season.[9]
