The Liga MX Femenil is the most powerful Latin championship since not only Mexican talent is present, but renowned European players are currently in the tournament, which has Monterrey as the reigning champion.
Several teams will seek the throne of Rayadas, mainly America and Tigres, who have already moved in the market to achieve their goal.
The league will kick off on Thursday, July 4, with the duel between Necaxa and Pachuca in Aguascalientes.

Although we could start with champions Monterrey, there is no doubt that the most powerful team is Tigres, the one with the most titles and which last season came very close to reaching the final. The Universitarias were champions six times in 13 tournaments played in Mexico, but last semester, they could not beat América in the semis, who won 3-2 on aggregate.
Tigres will face this season without their captain, Liliana Mercado, who left the institution after seven years. Along with her, Nancy Antonio has left, while they have announced the signing of defender Jimena López from Spanish club Valencia and midfielder Natalia Colin.
Now it is time to talk about the reigning Liga MX Femenil champion, Monterrey, who were consistent from the first round onwards and ended up beating Club América, who started as favorites, in the final.
This team has a lot of talent, and the 26-year-old striker Katty Martínez was acquired in the market. Although she made her debut with Tigres, Katty has said she is a fan of the Rayadas and has just scored 31 goals with América last season, adding the two semesters together. In addition, she is part of the Mexican National Team and will bring a lot of hierarchy to this squad. She is the most remarkable signing so far in this market.
Goalkeeper Ana Gaby Paz was also hired and will replace Mariana Caballero, who left the team. Silvana Flores also will not be part of the Rayadas.
Next comes the turn of Club América, which was left with the pain of losing last season’s final to Monterrey, so it has a pending debt, especially because of its long-standing favoritism as one of the teams that invests the most. The most important acquisition is midfielder Nancy Antonio, 28, who has had good years with Tigres. She has experience in the Mexican National Team.
But there are several departures in the Águilas: Andrea Pereira, Aurélie Kaci, Dayana Martin, and, the most painful, Katty Martínez, the team’s top scorer.
Spanish coach Ángel Villacampa remains at the helm of the capital team, so there is continuity to a process that began in 2022 and that last year already lifted a title.

Pachuca reached the semifinals last season but was thrashed 6-2 by Monterrey, the eventual champions of the Liga MX Fem. The Tuzas continue to count on striker Charlyn Correal, the previous semester’s top scorer with 19 goals.
Experienced defender Kenti Robles, who recently left Real Madrid, would be their main reinforcement, but no official announcement has been made.
After Pachuca, there are other interesting teams such as Chivas, León, or Pumas, which reached the quarterfinals last season.
