History

In February 2020, the first assembly of teams interested in forming a new professional football competition in Mexico, called Liga de Balompié Mexicano, was held. In this event, the interest of a team called Jaguares de Jalisco was made known.^[2] On March 27, the club's participation was confirmed, being the third franchise to be registered in the new league.^[3] On April 30, the team appointed Juan Pablo García as manager.^[4]

On June 13, 2020, the Tres de Marzo stadium was announced as the venue for the team's matches, which will be shared with Tecos F.C. and Halcones de Zapopan.^[5]

On July 4, 2020 the team played its first game against Ameca FC. The game ended with a 3-1 victory in favor of Jaguares.^[6]

Stadium

The first stadium was the Estadio 3 de Marzo, situated in Zapopan district that forms part of the Guadalajara Metropolitan Area, and is the ground of Tecos, which plays in the Liga Premier de México. The stadium has a capacity of 18,779 and was constructed on the campus of the Universidad Autónoma de Guadalajara.

In November 2020 the team moved to Centro Deportivo y Cultural 24 de Marzo located in Tala, Jalisco, this with the aim of demonstrating its interest in representing the entire State of Jalisco and not only the Guadalajara Metropolitan Area.^[7] This venue has a capacity to host 2,000 spectators and was opened in 2015.^[8]
