## Primera División 'A' creation

In 1994, with the aim to create a premier league, the Mexican Football Federation upgraded the Segunda División (Second Division) to "Primera División 'A'" (First Division A) to bring closer the level of play in the two tiers, Primera and Primera A. The project was under the direction of José Antonio García Rodríguez, then president of the top-tier Primera Division. He envisioned the new division to be joined by the teams of the Segunda División with the best sports level and the highest quality facilities to better integrate in an eventual promotion to the Primera Division.
12 Segunda División teams were promoted to Primera A. The placement of the clubs was done as follows:
| Primera División 'A' (new second level) | Segunda División (new third level) | Other |
| Atlético Cuernavaca (sold to Atlético Celaya) Atlético San Francisco Inter de Tijuana Irapuato Marte Pachuca San Luis UAQ Tabasco Tepic Yucatán Zacatepec | Ayense Celaya Colimense Oaxaca Tecomán Tepatitlán (relocated at Puerto Vallarta) | Tampico Madero (promoted to Primera División) Cobras (dissolved) |
