to replace Puebla
, receiving a designated spot for promotion to the Primera División. After an unsuccessful season, in 1968 Monarcas Morelia was relegated back to the Segunda División. During a mixed 1968–1971 seasons, C.A. Monarcas appointed a new chairman who goes by the name Nicandro Ortiz, who acquired the team and helped the club positively merge and acquisite a strong position in the Primera División A leaderboard.

.
Despite that the team had a history of 70 years playing in Mexican professional soccer the Club Monarcas Morelia had never won a first division tournament. This changed on a day in Winter 2000, when the club raised the cup after beating the Club Toluca in a series of penalty kicks. Unfortunately and because the final is played in two stadiums Morelia was crowned in the Bombonera Stadium and not in Morelia. The Morelos Stadium has never seen its team actually winning the final. The day after the victory a crowd which some estimate was of 100 thousand people welcomed the team as it parade it through Morelia's main avenue avenida Madero. Later they arrived to the stadium where the crowd congregated as the team raised the cup and all the fans congratulated the team for their first ever championship in first division.
Monarcas Morelia has played three other finals (Clausura 2002, Apertura 2003,Clausura 2011) which they lost to Toluca and Monterrey and last to Pumas respectively.
