In 2015, C.D. Uruapan the team won the championship of Tercera División after defeating Sporting Canamy.[2] The team competed for a season in Liga de Nuevos Talentos after failing to meet the requirements to promote to Liga Premier de Ascenso. With the federative seat of CDU Uruapan, another team called Titanes de Saltillo was created, finally, the CDU Uruapan returned to Tercera División.[3]
In July 2018, the team was founded with the name Aguacateros Club Deportivo Uruapan after the merger of Club Deportivo Uruapan and the team Originales Aguacateros de Uruapan with the aim of creating a unified team that represents the city as well as looking for an economic saving, since instead of financing two clubs, it would be one. The new team occupied the federative position belonging to Originals Aguacateros, formed with players from both clubs and acquired the technical body of the CDU.[4]
Meanwhile, the CDU franchise was rented to a group of entrepreneurs who created another team called Futcenter, which was based in Tlalnepantla de Baz, State of Mexico. This club used the CDU Uruapan name as a registration in the Mexican Football Federation, but it was completely separate from the Michoacán-based team. In 2019 this team was dissolved.
On June 28, 2019, the team was accepted as a new member of the Liga Premier de México – Serie B. In the 2020–21 season the team temporarily played in Liga Premier – Serie A due to the league holding a one-off tournament as a result of COVID-19.
In the 2021–22 season the team returned to Serie B, in that cycle the club won the two tournaments of the season for which it got its promotion in a sporting way to the Serie A.[5] However, the team only stayed in Serie A for one year, since for the 2023-2024 season the club's board of directors decided to relocate the team to Serie B, due to the interest of the owners to increase the relationship of Aguacateros CDU with Atlético Morelia.[6]
In the 2023–24 season the team won Serie B again, achieving its third championship in this category, and returning to Serie A after a one-year absence.[7] In the summer of 2024, Aguacateros CDU became an affiliate team of Atlético Morelia, so an exchange of players between both teams began to take place, in addition to the Uruapan team started to being managed by the Morelia's board.[8]
