The Loros will take the place that Murciélago left in the Ascenso MX at the end of this Clausura 2018, as the team from Colima will face Tepatitlán in the Promotion Final, a club that does not have the certification to play in the silver league of the national soccer.
The team from Jalisco was the champion of the Apertura 2017 tournament, but beforehand, according to the Second Division regulations, the team that reaches the Promotion Final and does not have the requirements to promote automatically cedes that privilege to the opponent, as long as they do have the certification.
In this case, the Loros de Colima do meet the necessary requirements to play in the Liga MX promotion playoffs again, where they were last year before being relegated.
