While Mexico didn’t make the Women’s World Cup this time around, their domestic league is starting today and is seen as a critical component of Mexico joining the United States, Canada, and Jamaica as a legitimate Concacaf power.
There have been a few changes since the last tournament. Lobos BUAP no longer has a team in Liga MX Femenil, while the addition of both Atlético San Luis and FC Juárez means there are now 19 teams in the league. The groups are gone, and each team will play all other teams once in the tournament with one team getting a bye week every week.
