June 6 – For the first time Mexico’s Liga MX Femenil will host its season ending Campeón de Campeonas between the winners of the Liga MX Femenil champions of the Apertura and Clausura tournaments outside of Mexico in the US on July 16.
The venue will Toyota Field in San Antonia, just over the Mexican border, and will see Clausura 2025 champion C.F. Pachuca and Apertura 2024 champion C.F. Monterrey meet for the championship.
“Women’s football in Mexico is growing, consolidating, and opening doors, which is why in this fifth edition of the Campeón de Campeonas, and the context of the international expansion of the Liga BBVA MX Femenil, we decided to take this historic match to San Antonio, Texas. We seek to bring our Clubs closer to their fans and supporters in the United States and continue to inspire girls and women through our sport,” said Mariana Gutiérrez, President of Liga BBVA MX Femenil.
Introduced in 2021, the Campeón de Campeonas serves as the domestic super cup between the Liga MX Femenil champions of the Apertura and Clausura tournaments.
Although the match is being held close to the Mexican border, it is unlikely many of the fans of either clubs’ will travel due to border restrictions and the heavy presence of border enforcement officials under the current US administration. Instead tickets are being marketed to the local Mexican diaspora and San Antonio fans as Liga MX raises the profile of its women’s league.
“We’re honored to host this historic match between the two reigning women’s champions from Liga MX Feminil,” said Sr. Director of Toyota Field and Ricos STAR Soccer Complex Jose Lizardo. “It’s the first time this event is being played outside of Mexico, and we’re proud that San Antonio was chosen as the site. This is more than just a game. It’s a celebration of excellence in women’s soccer and a reflection of our commitment to bringing world-class events to our fans. We look forward to showcasing not only our facility, but also everything our city has to offer.”
