Mineros de Zacatecas (English: Zacatecas Miners) is a Mexican professional basketball team, based in Zacatecas City, Zacatecas. The Mineros are part of the Liga Nacional de Baloncesto Profesional, the top professional basketball league in Mexico.[2] The team plays its home games at the Gimnasio Marcelino González, with a capacity of 3,458 spectators.[3]
The franchise was originally founded in 2001 as Barreteros de Zacatecas and started playing in Liga Nacional de Baloncesto Profesional in 2004. In 2017, the team was purchased by the Government of the State of Zacatecas for 2.5 million pesos (around US$130,000) and rebranded as Mineros for the 2018–17 season.[4]
