The Tuzos de la Universidad Autónoma de Zacatecas, commonly known as Tuzos UAZ, or just UAZ, is a Mexican football club based in Zacatecas City. The club was founded in 1990, and currently plays in the Serie A of Liga Premier.
History
The team was established in 1990 having intermittent appearances in the Second and Third Division leagues of Mexico.
In 2009 the team was refounded and registered in the Liga de Nuevos Talentos, currently Serie B de México, in the 2009–10 season the team was based in Fresnillo, and remained in the league until 2013. In 2013 the team was promoted to the Liga Premier de Ascenso, current Serie A de México, because UAZ bought the Real Saltillo Soccer franchise. In 2017 the team was returned to Serie B de México because it did not meet the requirements to participate in Serie A.
