Club Deportivo Tapatío, simplified as CD Tapatío, is a professional Mexican football club based in Zapopan, Jalisco. It competes in Liga de Expansión MX, the second level division of Mexican football, and plays its home matches at the Estadio Akron. The club serves as a reserve team of Guadalajara.

Founded in 1973, the club competed at various levels of the Mexican football pyramid until its dissolution in 2009. On July 29, 2020, it was reestablished in the Liga de Expansión.[2]

History

[edit]

It was founded as Club Deportivo Tapatío in 1973 when Guadalajara purchased a license for the Tercera División de México. In two seasons, Tapatío promoted to the Segunda División de México. The club mostly competed at the second level. After a relegation, Tapatío bought the second level license from the Gallos de Aguascalientes franchise in 2001 and relocated it to Guadalajara, Jalisco. In 2004, the team was moved to La Piedad, Michoacán and competed as Chivas La Piedad. In the 2005/06 season, the team was moved to Tepic, Nayarit and competed as Chivas Coras. The team returned to Guadalajara in 2006 and the Tapatío name was restored.

Before the Apertura 2009 tournament, Tapatío ceased to exist. The league system was restructured and following new rules of the FMF that teams in the Primera División de México would not be able to have a filial team in the Liga de Ascenso de México, the franchise was sold to Club Universidad de Guadalajara. Chivas Rayadas was then created and it served as the new reserve team for Club Deportivo Guadalajara.

In 2020, the team was revived due to the creation of the Liga de Expansión MX, a league that replaced the Liga de Ascenso de México with the aim of functioning as a development for football players.[3]
