Necaxa's fortunes declined after the professionalization of the Mexican league following the 1942-43 season, as they were excluded from the newly formed, 10-team Liga Mayor.

Necaxa went the next fifty years without winning a single championship, before finally returning to prominence in the mid-1990s. They won consecutive championships in the 1994-95 and 1995-96 seasons under manager Manuel Lapuente.They finished runners-up three times.
