The club was founded in 1997 and was affiliated with Chivas from the first division. The city of Tijuana wanted to have a professional soccer club after many failed attempts with clubs Inter Tijuana and Tijuana Stars.
The club was acquired after the 1997 tournament when the Mexican futbol federation put four franchises for sale, one bought by Tijuana the others by Unión de Curtidores , América , Halcones de Querétaro, Tecos de la UAG , Jaguares Colima. The club counted on 18 players but was relegated to the second division in San Luis Río Colorado, Mexicali, Rosarito, San Diego and a few more who contributed young talent .[1]
In 1999 the club played it last year as Chivas Tijuana, after the Mexican federation decided that there could not be two clubs with the name Chivas. After the 1999 tournament the club changed its name to Nacional de Tijuana.
