Finally, the team was moved from La Piedad to Querétaro and was renamed as Gallos Blancos de Querétaro.

The original La Piedad franchise disappeared in 2004, after the Mexican Football Federation (FMF) decided to reduce the number of participants in the First Division to 18 clubs. The FMF bought the Gallos Blancos franchise for the lack of transparency regarding the origin of its financial resources and decided to disappear it.

In June 2009, an Ascenso MX football club from the neighboring state of Guanajuato, Petroleros de Salamanca, relocated to La Piedad. The club changed its name to Club de Fútbol La Piedad, and four years later the club was promoted to Liga MX after defeating Neza FC in a promotion play-off.
