When everyone thought that Puebla would play in second division, during the league's draft, the sale was announced of León by Valente Aguirre to Francisco Bernat, who on 21 June announced that León was going to convert into Puebla F.C. Then Valente Aguirre said that there was no way Leon was moving out of Guanajuato. In response, Francisco Bernat said, "If we bought the club was to move it to Puebla, we're from Puebla and it's our duty to our fans to have a club in first division... now, if they want the club to remain in Leon, they'll have to pay us the 9 millions that we paid". That situation gave way to an uproar from the supporters of Leon who did not want their club disappearing. On 23 June, it was announced that Puebla would remain in first division, also that Leon would remain in Leon by purchasing Unión de Curtidores, the other team based in Leon. Only the players changed teams. Puebla took the players from Leon, and Leon took the players from Curtidores. The club that was relegated would become BUAP.
