History

Mictlán was promoted for the first time in 1992 when they bought the license that Galcasa from Villa Nueva left in the top division. In 2006 Mictlán achieved their second promotion to the Liga Nacional when they defeated Xinabajul in Primera División de Ascenso extra match[2], playing the 2006-2007 season in Liga Nacional for the first time since 1996. They would be back in the Second Division soon again after finishing last in the overall standings, thus being automatically demoted and stay there through the 2009-2010 season .

The team returned to Guatemala's top division for the 2010 Clausura tournament after defeating Sacachispas 1-0 in overtime.
