Liga MX Femenil announces changes

Liga MX Femenil will look a little different next year and in years to come, as the league made several announcements regarding things as varied as player rules and cooperation with other women’s soccer leagues. Liga MX Executive President Mikel Arriola announced several changes to the league earlier today.

  • Teams can sign up to two foreign-born players starting in the next tournament. The league stared out only allowing Mexican-born players, amending the rule to allow Mexicans with dual citizenship to play starting with the 2018 Apertura.
  • A U17 division will be created.
