Club Deportivo Avispones de Chilpancingo Asociación Civil is a football club that plays in the Liga Premier - Serie A. It is based in the city of Chilpancingo, Mexico.

History

The team was founded in 1988 as a representative team from Acapulco,[1] later it became the property of the Government of Guerrero, which decided to move the team to Chilpancingo, the state capital. Since its foundation until 2022, the team played in the Third Division.

On September 26, 2014 the team played a game as a visitor in the city of Iguala, Guerrero, after finishing the match, the team was returning to their city when it was attacked in a shootout related to the 2014 Iguala mass kidnapping, the player David Josué García Evangelista was killed on the spot, while twelve other members of the team and coaching staff were injured.[2][3] In November 2014 the team returned to play matches after a month without activity.[4]

In 2019, the team entered an economic crisis after the assassination of its president,[5] so the Chilpancingo City Council and the Government of Guerrero intervened in the club to ensure its continuity.[6][7]

In the 2021–22 season the team was promoted to the Liga Premier de México – Serie B after defeating Real Ánimas de Sayula in the promotion playoff.[8] The team had previously achieved the regional Liga TDP sub-championship where it was defeated by Deportiva Venados.[9]

After two years in the Liga Premier Serie A, for the 2024–25 season the team was promoted to Serie A, the main branch of this division.[10]
