History

edit

In June 2020, a possible move of Atlante began to be speculated, the team played at home in Cancun. On 26 June, the relocation of that club to Mexico City became official.[4] The same day, the relocation of Cafetaleros de Chiapas was announced, the team was moved to Cancún and renamed as Cancún F.C.[5]

On 30 June 2020, the club appointed Christian Giménez as its first manager.[6]

In January 2022, the team was bought by an investment fund headed by Mexican-American businessman Jeff Luhnow, however, due to regulatory issues, José Luis Orantes remained in the presidency until the end of the 2021–22 season.[2] On 1 June 2022, the sale was approved by the owners of the Liga de Expansión MX clubs, making the entry of the new owner official.[7]
