León land surprise signing for Leagues Cup
After an irregular start to the Apertura 2025 with just three points from nine, León is already in the United States to compete in the Leagues Cup. Their debut will be this Tuesday, July 29, against Montreal FC at 5:00 p.m. at Saputo Stadium. Prior to the match, La Fiera received a surprise: Nicolás Fonseca will rejoin the team after his transfer to Valencia fell through. "The operation fell through due to financial fair play issues," reported journalist César Luis Merlo. According to close sources, the Spanish club asked for "10 more days" to close another signing before hiring the Uruguayan, but León decided not to wait any longer. Thus, the midfielder will remain on the emerald squad for now. Fonseca, who arrived in January, will join the team led by Eduardo Berizzo in the next few hours. It is still unknown if he will be available to play against the Canadian team in his tournament debut. This article was translated into English by Artificial Intelligence.

📆 Club León kick off pre-season preparations
Eduardo Berizzo has led his first training session with an incomplete group, but with several matches on the horizon as preparation for the Apertura 2025. Club León has begun its preseason ahead of the 2025/26 season under the guidance of Argentine coach Eduardo 'Toto' Berizzo, who conducted his first session with a group made up of 17 first-team players and five youth players from the Under-23 squad. Advertisement The session took place at the 'La Esmeralda' complex, where the main absences were the players called up to their national teams: James Rodríguez (Colombia), Jhonder Cádiz (Venezuela), Nicolás Fonseca (Uruguay), and Rodrigo Echeverría (Chile). Stiven Barreiro and Steven Mendoza, meanwhile, have special permission to report at a later date. Alfonso Blanco, for his part, has been working separately after recently undergoing surgery on his right arm. And Fernando 'Nene' Beltrán, the brand-new signing from Chivas, has already joined the team and worked out in the gym with his new teammates. 'La Fiera' begins its preparations while awaiting reinforcements and with participation in the Copa Morelos on the horizon. The first match will be on Friday, June 20 against Cruz Azul, while on Sunday, June 22—depending on the result—they will play against Chivas or Atlante.

Club Leon Excluded from 2025 Club World Cup After Failed Appeal
On May 6, 2025, the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) rejected Club Leon's appeal to participate in the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup. The Mexican club, which earned its spot by winning the 2023 CONCACAF Champions Cup, was removed by FIFA due to a breach of multi-club ownership rules. This decision finalizes Leon's exclusion from the tournament, set to begin June 14 in the United States. FIFA's regulations prohibit any individual or entity from controlling more than one club in the competition. Both Club Leon and Pachuca, another qualified team, are owned by Grupo Pachuca, leading to Leon's expulsion in March 2025. The CAS panel found that a trust set up by Leon's owners was insufficient to comply with these rules, allowing Pachuca to remain in the 32-team lineup. Club Leon's James Rodríguez will not be suiting up for the Club World Cup - Getty Images Leon's absence has paved the way for a high-stakes playoff between Los Angeles FC (LAFC) and Club América. FIFA plans to organize this match to determine Leon's replacement, with the winner securing at least $9.55 million in prize money. The playoff's date and venue are yet to be announced, but it ensures the tournament's roster is complete before kickoff in Miami.

Manager Eduardo Berizzo previously criticized FIFA's process, arguing it lacked respect for the club's achievements. Despite their efforts, the expedited appeal, heard on May 5, could not overturn FIFA's stance on tournament integrity. Club Leon did all it could to participate. A separate appeal by Costa Rican club Alajuelense, which sought to replace Leon, was also dismissed by CAS. Alajuelense had raised concerns about the multi-ownership issue as early as November 2024. Their case, heard alongside Leon's, did not sway the panel's decision. Advertisement The 2025 Club World Cup, featuring global giants like Real Madrid, Juventus, Inter Miami and Manchester City, promises to be a historic spectacle. For Leon, however, the dream of competing on this stage is over. The focus now shifts to the playoff, which will decide the final piece of this billion-dollar tournament's puzzle.
