History

In June 2020, Monarcas Morelia was relocated to Mazatlán and renamed Mazatlán F.C., after this fact, a local businessman began the steps to create a soccer team that would represent Michoacán in Mexican soccer and avoid any relocation in the future. On October 24, 2020, it was announced that the new club would be named Michoacán F.C. to represent the entire state, in addition to informing that the club would be registered in the Liga TDP but with the aim of reaching Liga MX in a period of five years.[3]

At the beginning of 2021, the club's board began a survey among its followers to choose the city where they would play their home games, the towns of: Pátzcuaro, Morelia, Sahuayo, Apatzingán, Ciudad Hidalgo and Los Reyes were presented as candidates. On July 13, the city of Pátzcuaro was confirmed as the city chosen to host the team's home matches.[4]

At the end of July, the club announced Adrián García Arias as the first coach in its history,[5] subsequently, the club's shield was released, which makes references to representative elements of the state of Michoacán.[6]
