Colibríes de Morelos

Colibríes de Morelos was a Mexican football team. Nicknamed Los Colibríes (Hummingbirds), the club was founded in 2002 when the state of Morelos bought the Atlético Celaya franchise who at the time played in the top Mexican division. Colibries was the fifth professional club in the state of Morelos to play in the Primera División de México, Zacatepec being the first in 1948, followed by Marte, who moved from México City to Cuernavaca in 1953, Cuautla in 1955 and Oaxtepec in 1982. Colibries is the team with the least amount of history in the Primera Division, having played only six months in the top league for 2003 before being relegated. That same year, the club was sold to the city of Tijuana where it became Trotamundos Tijuana. The club moved to Salamanca and last played in the Tercera División de México. The state of Morelos was also represented by Club Universidad Nacional's inferior squad, Pumas Morelos, up until 2014.
