 With this boost, Atlante was able to be reinforced by notable players, such as Luis Roberto Alves "Zague", Martín Felix Ubaldi, José Damasceno Tiba and Luis García, as well as the renamed coach Miguel Mejía Barón, who just had a positive result coaching the National team at United States' World Cup 1994.Despite in having memorable campaigns, such as being the first all-championship leader for a short tournament (Invierno 1996), and qualifying for the play-offs in Verano 1997 and Invierno 1997, the team did not accomplished any major results, and even had disastrous moments such as the embarrassing play-off series against Toros Neza in Verano 1997, which was lost in a 9–2 global score.Several issues occurred in Atlante's history during the last years of the 20th Century, those very issues that were going to define the team's future.
