# Acatlán F.C.

Acatlán Fútbol Club, alternatively named CEFOR Tepatitlán and Trinca Guinda F.C., is a Mexican football club that plays in the Liga Premier – Serie A. It is based in the city of Arandas, Jalisco.

## History

The team was created in 2016 after that the Vaqueros Bellavista left the town.
In the 2017–2018 season, Acatlán finished as group champion. In the promotion playoffs, the team eliminated Troyanos UDEM, Tuzos UAZ, Club Hidalguense, Atlético Valladolid, Águilas UAS and C.D. Uruapan, to reach division final. In the final of the category, Acatlán faced the F.C. Marina tied for 1–1 in the aggregate, in the penalty shootout, Acatlán won 4–5 getting its first title in their history.
Despite winning the promotion to the Liga Premier – Serie A, the team was not certified to participate in the division, so its franchise was relocated to Tepic, Nayarit and was renamed to Coras de Nayarit F.C. In the 2018–2019 season, the Acatlán team remained, but played with the name Futcenter. In 2019, the team returned to its original name officially.
In the 2023–24 season, the team once again won promotion to the Liga Premier – Serie A. On May 25, 2024, Acatlán defeated Tigres de Alica F.C. to achieve promotion, finally, the team finished the season as runners-up in the Liga TDP after being defeated by Faraones de Texcoco in the national final.
After the Acatlán promotion, a group of businessmen from Tepatitlán bought the club. The new owners of Acatlán attempted to move the team to their city, however, the management of Tepatitlán F.C. did not grant permission to do the movement, so Acatlán paused its attempt to move from Zapotlanejo pending a future change of name and venue of the Tepa team.
In the event of a possible future relocation, the team was internally renamed CEFOR Tepatitlán, in addition to adopting the colors red and blue as its main identity. However, officially the team maintains the name Acatlán F.C. in the competitions organized by the Mexican Football Federation and Liga Premier.
In January 2025, the club board abandoned its intentions to establish Acatlán F.C. in Tepatitlán after receiving support from the local government of Arandas, Jalisco, where it had been established since the fall of 2024. As a result, the team abandoned the alternate brand of CEFOR Tepatitlán to use a new one called Trinca Guinda F.C., with this change the team adopted the colors maroon and white as its new identity.
