series against Veracruz. Puebla defeated Veracruz 1–0, but they were eliminated in quarter-finals by América with an overall score of 4–2. In the 1995–96 championship Puebla changed owners and the brothers Abed came to power. The new owners had no respect for the club's history or tradition changing the club colors. That year was one of club's worst tournaments in Puebla's history and they finished in last place with 28 points by means of 6 victories, 10 draws, and 18 losses with 29 goals for and 54 against. In 1997 Puebla welcomed the short tournament era in white an orange home kit, impulsed by the brothers Abed showing little interest in the club's tradition. Nonetheless, that tournament was a success and qualified to the quarter-finals after getting 31 points in group 2. In quarter-finals Puebla eliminated Toluca by a score of 2–1. In semi-finals, however, Puebla was eliminated by Necaxa with an aggregated score of 7–2. In this tournament the Spanish Carlos Muñoz got the first scoring title in Puebla's history with 15 goals scored in 17 games.

In that position, the coach Raúl Cárdenas did not ask for any players from the draft and brought five players from Yugoslavia which were a disappointment. This tournament was the worst in the club's history, with only 9 points in 2 victories, 3 draws, and 12 losses, with 13 goals in favor and 41 against. The club's lead scorer was Aleksandar Janjic with a couple of goals. In the summer of 1999 the story was not different from the prior years. Alfredo Tena took over as coach and brought some reinforcements as Martín Ubaldi, François Omam Biyik, Rubén Ruiz Díaz, and Miguel Pardeza. Puebla did not improve, and Tena was replaced by José Mari Bakero as coach. The team played worse, and in the last round, they tied against Monterrey and were relegated to the second division for the second time since 1964 when the club was formed. The numbers
