[1] After completing this cycle, the Primera División 'A' was created with the aim of increasing interest in the lower divisions of Mexican football.
As a result, the 1993–94 season represented the last season in which the Segunda División was the second hierarchical level of Mexican football, as of 1994–95 it became the third category in the Mexican league system.
In 1994, with the aim to create a premier league, the Mexican Football Federation upgraded the Segunda División (Second Division) to "Primera División 'A'" (First Division A) to bring closer the level of play in the two tiers, Primera and Primera A.
The project was under the direction of José Antonio García Rodríguez, then president of the top-tier Primera Division.
He envisioned the new division to be joined by the teams of the Segunda División with the best sports level and the highest quality facilities to better integrate in an eventual promotion to the Primera Division.
