In the 2017–2018 season, Acatlán finished as group champion. In the promotion playoffs, the team eliminated Troyanos UDEM, Tuzos UAZ, Club Hidalguense, Atlético Valladolid, Águilas UAS and C.D. Uruapan, to reach division final.[1] In the final of the category, Acatlán faced the F.C. Marina tied for 1–1 in the aggregate, in the penalty shootout, Acatlán won 4–5 getting its first title in their history.[2]

Despite winning the promotion to the Liga PremierSerie A, the team was not certified to participate in the division, so its franchise was relocated to Tepic, Nayarit and was renamed to Coras de Nayarit F.C.[3] In the 2018–2019 season, the Acatlán team remained, but played with the name Futcenter. In 2019, the team returned to its original name officially.
