History

[edit]

Background

[edit]

Previous to the establishment of Liga MX Femenil, there were attempts by theMexican Football Federation, Liga MX clubs, and women's football advocates to professionalize women's football in Mexico, but none of these attempts were successful.

Liga Mexicana de Fútbol Femenil

[edit]

In 2007, there was an attempt to professionalize women's football in Mexico via theLiga Mexicana de Fútbol Femenil. While the league did foster some success, it did not have major sponsorships and lacked media coverage as well as fan support. Therefore, major clubs participating in the league such asChivas, pulled their support.[6]

NWSL

[edit]

In November 2012, theUnited States Soccer Federation announced the establishment of theNational Women's Soccer League (NWSL) in a push to professionalize women's soccer in theUnited States.[7] In an arrangement with the U.S. Soccer Federation to develop Mexican talent in the United States, theMexican Football Federation pledged to allocate Mexican players to NWSL clubs while also covering the salaries of such players. Well-known Mexican players such asMaribel Domínguez andMónica Ocampo were among the first players to be allocated to the NWSL as part of this arrangement, which was in effect from 2013 until early 2016, when the Mexican Football Federation announced that it would no longer continue allocating players to the NWSL due to the limited playing time these players were receiving, foreshadowing the creation of Liga MX Femenil.[8]

First professional women's team

[edit]

The lateMarbella Ibarra was an enthusiastic women's football advocate who persuadedClub Tijuana to create a professional women's team in 2014. FormerMexico women's national football team playerAndrea Rodebaugh took the helm as manager during the program's stint in theWomen's Premier Soccer League.[9][10]

Announcement and preparation

On 5 December 2016, during a general assembly meeting with allLiga MX club owners, former Liga MX President, Enrique Bonilla, announced the formation of the new Liga MX Femenil in an effort to grow and build talent within Mexico.[11] The announcement stated that 16 out of the 18 Liga MX clubs (excludingPuebla andChiapas due to financial problems) would field U-23 rosters with four U-17 players and up to two overage players.[12][3]

Before the inaugural season, the teams participated in a warm-up tournament calledCopa MX Femenil.[13] The tournament took place between 3 May and 6 May 2017, with only 12 of the 16 teams participating due to four clubs not having a team ready by the time of the tournament's inauguration.[14]Pachuca won this tournament by winning the final 9–1 againstClub Tijuana.[15]

First tournament

[edit]

The first Apertura 2017 matches were played on 28 July 2017.[16]Chivas won the first Liga MX Femenil championship on 24 November 2017 by defeatingPachuca in the final. The two matches drew record-setting crowds of 28,955 and 32,466 spectators, respectively.[17][18]

Commentator Glenn Moore declared Liga MX Femenil to have concluded a "very successful debut campaign."[19]

Regulations

[edit]

During theinaugural season, teams were expected to field U-23 rosters; four slots were reserved for U-17 players, while two were for overage players. All players had to be born in Mexico. Additionally, the sixteen teams were split into two groups. Teams in each group played each other twice per season. The top two teams from each group advanced to the liguilla (playoffs), which consisted of a semifinal of two matches (home and away) followed by a final, also of two matches.

League rules mostly stayed the same for thesecond season. However, the U-23 limit was raised to U-24.[20] liguilla spots were also expanded to include eight teams instead of four, with the top four teams from each group moving on to the liguilla.[21]

For thethird season, the age limit was raised to 25, but each team was allowed to field up to 6 overage players at a time. In addition, the groups were undone, so each team would play each other at least once during the season. Foreign-born Mexican players were also allowed to play, with up to six allowed per team. This decision brought in more players to the league from theNCAA, as well as from the NWSL and Spain'sPrimera División.

For thefourth season, the overage limit was removed, nonetheless the teams are still being required to allocate a certain amount of minutes of playing time per tournament to U-20 players to satisfy the league's minors rule.[22] TheCampeón de Campeonas championship was also introduced to the league for the first time, with Tigres winning the first edition automatically after winning the league title of both tournaments of the 2021–22 season.[23][24]

For thefifth season, the league began to allow teams to have two non-Mexican players on their rosters.[25] On 25 June 2021,Tigres became the first club to make use of this option by signing Brazilian playerStefany Ferrer.[26] The league also inaugurated its youth division;Club América won the initial tournament.[27]

Beginning with thesixth season, the league began implementingVAR in the Liguilla phase of the tournament. Non-Mexican players spots also increased from two to four per team.[28]

During theeighth season, the league introduced an additional spot for non-Mexican players, thus allowing each team to have up to five non-Mexican players in their squad.[29] The league also made changes to the minors rule to no longer take into account U-20 players’ playing time with their youth national teams (U-20 and U-17) unless the players received substantial playing time during a given tournament (90 minutes for U-17 players and 180 for U-20 players).[29]

The league approved more regulatory changes for theninth season, including the addition of two more non-Mexican player slots, allowing each team to have up to seven non-Mexican players in their rosters. To compensate for the additional non-Mexican player slots, the league made changes to the minor rule by expanding the required number of minutes of playing time for U-20 Mexican players from 1,000 to 1,260.[30]

Notable results

[edit]

The league set history during theClausura 2018 tournament as the second match of the final betweenMonterrey andTigres atEstadio BBVA was at the time the highest-attended club match in women's football history, with a total of 51,211 fans attending the game.[31] This record has been broken multiple times since then,[32] but Mexico still holds the record for the highest attendance on a women's football match, which took place during the1971 Women's World Cup final atEstadio Azteca.[33]

On 5 October 2019, a Liga MX Femenil team obtained for the first time a victory against anNWSL team whenTigres defeatedHouston Dash 2–1 at theEstadio Universitario.[34] Previously, the Houston Dash had facedMonterrey in 2018 in a preseason match that ended with a 3–1 victory in favor of the Dash; This match represented the first time that a Liga MX Femenil team faced an NWSL side.[35]

On 5 July 2022, a Liga MX Femenil team and a European team faced each other for the first time whenClub América played againstFrauen-Bundesliga teamBayer 04 Leverkusen at Estadio Azteca. The match ended in a 1–0 victory for América.[36]

In November 2022, the league's previous highest attendance record set during theClausura 2018 final betweenMonterrey andTigres (51,211 attendees) was broken as the first match of theApertura 2022 final between Tigres andClub América atEstadio Azteca drew a crowd of approximately 52,654 fans.[37] This final also broke TV viewership records as it was viewed by more than 5.3 million people, therefore becoming the most-viewed Liga MX Femenil final in history.[38][39][40] As a whole, theApertura 2022 tournament was until that point the most viewed tournament in Liga MX Femenil history.[38]

During theClausura 2023 tournament,Club América accepted to transfer Mexican forwardScarlett Camberos toAngel City FC in the fifth most expensive transfer in women's football of 2023, therefore becoming the largest transfer in league history until that point for an outgoing player, larger than the transfers of Nigerian forwardUchenna Kanu toRacing Louisville for a $150,000 fee plus incentives, andMia Fishel toChelsea for a reported $250,000 fee, both by Tigres and in 2023 as well.[41][42][43][44] Additionally, the previous attendance record of the league that was set during the Apertura 2022 final was broken once again during the Clausura 2023 tournament final, as approximately 58,156 fans attended the second leg of this final at Estadio Azteca to watchClub América win its second title in history.[45] The Clausura 2023 tournament also became the most viewed tournament in league history as more than 15 million people tuned in to watch throughout the tournament.[46]

During theApertura 2023 tournament, the transfer ofMiah Zuazua fromFC Juárez toClub América was the first transaction between two Liga MX Femenil clubs in which a transfer fee was paid.[47]

On 20 March 2024, the league in collaboration with theNWSL announced a new international competition namedSummer Cup. This competition features six teams from Liga MX Femenil that compete against teams from the NWSL. The inaugural edition began on 19 July 2024.[48]

The league largest transfer in history for an incoming player came on 12 September 2024, whenAmérica reached an agreement withSC Internacional to transfer 20-years old Brazilian international forwardPriscila to its ranks in exchange of a $497,403 fee plus incentives, making this transaction the largest one between Latin-American women's football clubs, and one of the largest in women's football.[49]

On 21 August 2025, Tigres reached an agreement to transfer Mexican forwardLizbeth Ovalle to NWSL clubOrlando Pride for a world-record transfer fee in women’s football, reportedly of around $1.5 million USD, therefore breaking the previous record that was set with the transfer ofOlivia Smith fromLiverpool toArsenal just a month prior.[50][51]

On 22 August 2025, the league celebrated their firstAll-Star game by facingFC Barcelona in Monterrey. The match was won by Barcelona on penalties after a 2–2 draw.[52]

Club changes

[edit]

For the inaugural season, only 16 of the 18 Liga MX clubs had a Liga MX Femenil team as Chiapas and Puebla were allowed to not have a team due to financial problems.[3] However, by the second season, all 18 clubs had an active Liga MX Femenil side. By then, Chiapas had been relegated toAscenso MX, whileLobos BUAP had been promoted to Liga MX. As such, Lobos BUAP and Puebla both introduced their Liga MX Femenil sides during the2018–2019 season.

By the third season, the league was expanded to 19 teams asAtlético San Luis Femenil was introduced due toAtlético San Luis promotion to Liga MX while no team was relegated.[53] Additionally, the Lobos BUAP franchise was acquired by then-second division clubFC Juárez, as such theLobos BUAP femenil team moved from Puebla to Juárez to formFC Juárez Femenil.[54] After the Apertura 2019,Veracruz folded in Liga MX, as suchVeracruz Femenil became a defunct club as well, bringing the league back down to 18 teams.[55][56] In June 2020, amidst theCOVID-19 pandemic, theMonarcas Morelia franchised was relocated toMazatlán, putting an end toMorelia Femenil's three-years old trajectory in the top flight, and creating and integratingMazatlán F.C. as the newest member of the league.[57]

Broadcasting

[edit]

Each club in the league negotiates their own TV rights contracts with TV networks or streaming platforms. Most clubs have at least one official broadcaster in Mexico, and a number of them also offer their games in the U.S. either through TV broadcast or streaming.

Beginning with theClausura 2025 tournament, Liga MX Femenil began to produce the TV broadcast of the home games ofAmérica,Cruz Azul,Monterrey,Necaxa,Pumas, andToluca as well as streaming these games through YouTube, Facebook, andTikTok as part of a new initiative called "FutFem Donde Sea (women’s football everywhere)", with the goal of reaching a wider audience and centralizing the TV rights of the league. The league streaming does not affect the broadcasts of the TV network or streaming platform that holds the TV rights of a team; The league broadcast can even be utilized or leverage by such partners if they wish to do so. The expectation is that the remaining teams will join this initiative at a later date.[91]
