History

Foundation

In January 2000, some teams of CIMEBA (Circuito Mexicano de Básquetbol), the national basketball league in Mexico at the time, exited the league, citing CIMEBA's financial difficulties, and decided to form a new league. On March 11, 2000 the league was founded in the city of Durango with 11 teams participating. These were the founding teams, with the respective city and state:

  • Algodoneros de la Comarca (Torreón, Coahuila)

  • La Ola Roja del Distrito Federal (Mexico City, Distrito Federal)
