Tigres UANL Premier was the Liga Premier affiliate team of Tigres UANL. They played in the lower division to provide a training ground for prospective players aspiring to play in the Primera División de México. They played in San Nicolás de los Garza, Nuevo León. With the changes made to the Primera División "A", Tigres B disappeared from the Liga de Ascenso before starting the Apertura 2009.

History
They were born in 1991 as a Third Division team, and they were then called Tigrillos UANL (Tigrillos means "little tigers"). They played in Monterrey in those times.
In 1994, they won the Third Division championship and gained a right to participate in the Second Division. A few years later, in 1996, under the tutorship of Osvaldo Batocletti, they were again promoted, this time to Primera Division A.
The 1996 and 1997 seasons where the same that Tigres UANL were relegated to the Primera Division A. This created the unique circumstance that both the main team and the affiliate competed in the same division.
However, Mexican rules forbade two teams to have the same name, so they were renamed as simply U de NL (in reference to the UANL which they represent, despite having just been privatized). They maintained the colors, but were moved to Saltillo.
This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “Tigres UANL Premier” as football club. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.
Why this record matters
The subject matters to the general reference register because the source frames it as football club. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.
Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Mar 14, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q7801717. 2 of 2 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 2009, 2010, 2014 and 2015.
Overview language is designed for orientation and should not be treated as a substitute for the evidence cited beneath it. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
