On August 11, 2020, the Acaxees announced defender Patricio Araujo as their first official player.[5] In September 2020 the club announced the construction of its own stadium.[6]
On December 1, 2020, the club's franchise was put on hiatus by the LBM due to financial problems and the lack of a new board of directors that can provide financial support to the club. The team could return in the following season if it manages to improve its financial situation and complies with the guidelines of the competition.[7][8]
