History
editIn 1970, a group of sugar businessmen acquired C.D. Oro and renamed it as Club Jalisco.
The team stayed 10 seasons in the First Division from 1970 until 1980. In its trajectory, the team could never reach the championship phase.
In their debut season in 1970–71, they ended second place just 5 points below Toluca, who impeded them from reaching the final against América. In the 1971–72 season, they ended 9 points away from qualifying for the playoffs, and in 1972–73, a 6th place in their group began to reflect a sluggish performance by the players. From the 1973–74 season to the 1975–76 season, they were unable to pass mid-table and occupied the last positions on several occasions.
For the 1976–77 season, they came up short by 7 points from reaching the playoffs. Similarly in the 1977–78 season, they were short by 4 points of Tigres UANL who eventually become champions. In 1978–79 and 1979–80, their last two seasons, they ranked last in their group, which made them have to contest a relegation playoff with the Unión de Curtidores. They lost by an aggregate score of 4–3 and the team was relegated to Segunda Division Mexicana.
In 1980, the team finished in last place of the competition, had to play a relegation playoff, and the series was against Unión de Curtidores. Jalisco was defeated by an aggregate score of 4–3 and so, the club was relegated to Segunda División.
For the 1983–84 season, Jalisco reached the final of the second division, finally defeated by the Zacatepec with an aggregate of 3–1. This was the last time the club has been close to being promoted to the highest category of Mexican football.
In 1991, Club Jalisco sold its franchise. The new owners relocated the team to Acapulco and renamed it as Delfines de Acapulco.
In 2008, the team reappeared with the original name in order to participate in Liga de Talentos de la Segunda División.
In 2015, two different groups created two new teams trying to revive the history of the Club Jalisco. On the one hand, a team from the city of El Salto changed its name unofficially to Jalisco. On the other hand, former club players founded another team called Gallos Viejos, which continues to play in the Third Division.
In June 2019, Club Jalisco signed an agreement with Deportivo CAFESSA, through this document a new club called Deportivo CAFESSA Jalisco was established, which represented the return of Club Jalisco to football, since the other teams had only taken up the name of the team without having a direct relationship with the directive. After that, the new team began playing in the Liga Premier de México – Serie A and won the right to use the Estadio Jalisco as their home venue.
