Coras Fútbol Club commonly known as Coras de Tepic is a football club that plays in the Mexican football league system Mexican Liga Premier (third-tier). The club was founded in the late 1950s as Deportivo Tepic and is based in Tepic, Nayarit, Mexico.

History[]

The club was founded on July 19, 1959[1] by Francisco Mengibar Bueno and quickly joined the Segunda División de México. The club played mostly in the Mexican inferior division from 1960 to the 1980s. In 1986 the club was invited to play the Copa de Oro de Occidente with first and second division clubs based in the mid-western region of the country.

In 1994 the club was invited to play the first tournament in the newly created Primera A. The club struggled during its first year and was relegated back to the Segunda División de México after the 1995–96 tournament. In 2002 the club won the Apertura 2002 tournament in Segunda División de México. The club has been playing on and off ever since and recently built a new stadium[2] in order to rejoin the Ascenso MX for the Apertura 2012 tournament. They also played the Austin Posse in 2004.

In June 2017, owner Jose Luis Higuera confirmed the club would no longer exist after he bought a new club, Club Atlético Zacatepec. Coras disappeared for a month.

In July 2017, the Cuervos de Ensenada club management announced its move to Tepic, where it was renamed as Deportivo Tepic JAP.[3] However, this new team was highlighted by poor economic and administrative management that led to its disappearance in May 2018.[4]

Before the start of the 2018-19 season, it was announced the founding of a new team called Coras de Nayarit F.C., the new club arose from the purchase of the Acatlán F.C. license, team that was champion of the Third Division in 2017-18 season,[5] which could not promote by not meeting the requirements of Serie A. Coras de Nayarit was a team made up of local businessmen and the state government.[6] In June 2020 this team was put on hiatus due to financial problems derived from COVID-19, so it did not participate in the 2020-21 season.[7]

In July 2021 the team was resumed to continue participating in Serie A, however, due to changes in the administration the club was renamed as Coras F.C.[8]
