History
editLibertadores de Querétaro was founded in 2009 and they joined the top-level of Mexican basketball, the Liga Nacional de Baloncesto Profesional, for the 2009–10 season. The team decided not to participate for the next season due to financial problems, allegedly, because the State's government decided to end their monetary support to the team.[4]
In 2017, after six years of absence, the team announced their return to professional basketball for the 2017–18 season.[3][5] Amongst the team's plans for their comeback to the LNBP was a renovation of the Auditorio General Arteaga.[6]
