History edit
The team has its origins in the Club Deportivo H2O, which is an amateur team managed by the Morelia water and sewerage management body.[2]
In August 2021, an agreement was reached between the sports club, the Axen Capital company and Atlético Morelia to register the team in the Liga TDP, the fourth category of Mexican football. The team is managed by the financial company, but most of the players come from Atlético Morelia youth teams, since H2O Purépechas F.C. is the reserve team.[3][4]
The team officially debuted on September 25, 2021, defeating Atlético Chavinda 2–0.[5]
In October 2021, the team began playing its home matches at Estadio Venustiano Carranza, after having played its first matches at a local sports complex.[6]
