In 1950, in Mexico a national second division was first launched, the CD Zamora from the same city, founded in the same year was in the state of Michoacán to the founding members. When the FMF had decided to increase the first division of 12 previously on the future of 14 teams, a special tournament was organized, at which the two worst teams in the premier league and the teams were allowed to participate in places two to four of the second division to the Erstligateilnehmer be determined for the 1955/56 season. Zamora took in this qualifying round second place and made ​​the leap into the football House of Lords.
