Atletas Campesinos was the first Querétaro football team who played Primera Division, also played for the defunct Segunda Division de Mexico now known as Ascenso MX and hosted its games at Santiago de Querétaro, Mexico.

They are remembered in the town of Santiago de Querétaro to be the first city team to play in the Primera Division.

For the 1982–83 season, the team was sold to the STPRM (Sindicato de Petróleos Mexicanos / Union of Petroleum Mexicans) and taken to the city of Tampico, with the nickname La Jaiba Brava.

At the end of 2012 there were administrative problems and the club that had been refurbished disappeared again, becoming the franchise Cobras de Querétaro.
