The 1993–94 Segunda División was the 45th season of the Mexican Segunda División. The season started on 16 July 1993 and concluded on 16 April 1994. It was won by Tampico Madero.[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.[2]

## Primera División 'A' creation

[edit]

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.

12 Segunda División teams were promoted to Primera A. The placement of the clubs was done as follows:

Primera División 'A' (new second level)[7] | Segunda División (new third level)[7] | Other[7]

|
|

* Atlético Cuernavaca (sold to Atlético Celaya)
* Atlético San Francisco
* Inter de Tijuana
* Irapuato
* Marte
* Pachuca
* San Luis
* UAQ
* Tabasco
* Tepic
* Yucatán
* Zacatepec

* Ayense
