Four years ago, Liga MX Femenil was just getting off of the ground. Only 16 of the league’s 18 clubs had women’s teams to field, up from the 12 that participated in the Copa MX Femenil. The league had been constructed in just six months, and looked every bit the part.
Since then, the league has grown into a powerhouse. Every club has a team in the competition, with a U17 division slated to start in 2022. It’s not controversial to assert it’s one of the best leagues in North America and that teams like Tigres, Rayadas, Chivas, and América would hold their own against just about any club in the world.
