In the 2017-18 season, the team was asked not to play during that season due to problems with the local stadium.
In the 2018–19 season, the team was relocated to Mexico City and returned to participate in the Tercera División de México. In the promotion phase, the team won one of the two places to play the final series, which allowed Héroes de Zaci to be promoted to the Segunda División de México. On June 15, 2019, Héroes de Zaci won its first championship after defeating Atlético San Francisco with a score of 3–2 on aggregate.
Héroes de Zaci was associated with Yalmakán, a team that participated in the Liga Premier – Serie A between 2018 and 2024.
On July 29, 2020, Héroes de Zaci joined the Serie A after being approved after a one year hold because the stadium requirements were not yet met. However, to meet the requirements, the team was relocated again to Acámbaro, Guanajuato, in addition, the franchise was rented to another administration other than the owners.
