In the 1940s, Cooperativa La Cruz Azul started to establish cities dedicated to its industry, one of which was located on the Isthmus of Tehuantepec and was called Lagunas, Oaxaca. Football was one of the favorite sports for the development of the cities founded by the company.
Since the 1990s, the team has participated in the Third Division, a category in which it has remained ever since. Between 2003 and 2006 there was a parallel project called Cruz Azul Oaxaca, which played in the Primera División A, which was nourished in part by players from the Lagunas team.
In the 2018âÂÂ19 season, the team reached the Third Division quarterfinals, one of their best recent appearances. The team has trained some important players for the main team like Javier Aquinoàand Julio César DomÃÂnguez.
Lagunas has also become a summer training venue for the first-team of Cruz Azul, where an annual stay is held.
