🚨Breaking news: FMF responds, insists promotion is still in place
This article was translated into English by Artificial Intelligence. You can read the original version in 🇪🇸 here. The Mexican Football Federation has already made its stance known after denying an appeal against it before the TAS by 10 clubs in the Expansion League in favor of the return of promotion and relegation. Through an infographic, the FMF assures the existence of promotion in Mexican football, through a certification process that so far, no team has fully met. "It is in effect via certification. A club will be promoted when there are at least four certified teams at the start of the season and one becomes Champion of Champions," it specifies. For his part, Íñigo Riestra, Secretary General and Legal Director of the FMF, appeared before the cameras to "tell his version," because "half-truths have been told": Declaración de Íñigo Riestra, Secretario General y D.G. Jurídico, respecto a este tema: — Federación Mexicana de Futbol (@FMF) May 21, 2025 What they haven't mentioned is that a fund for improvements was also authorized, with significant sums of money to support all these clubs, with the sole intention that they could focus on making infrastructure investments and strategy for the growth of their League. Large amounts of money have been delivered to the expansion clubs and that's not being told," he pointed out 📸 Hector Vivas - 2022 Getty Images

Mexican clubs file suit against Liga MX to resume promotion/relegation
According to The Athletic, 10 second-division clubs in Mexico have filed a claim on Monday with the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) against Liga MX and the Mexican Football Federation (FMF). According to court documents, the 10 clubs from Mexico's Liga Expansión are demanding the return of promotion and relegation ahead of the 2025-2026 season. Mexico paused promotion and relegation for six seasons amid the COVID-19 pandemic. However, the court filing alleges that the federation have not 'formally committed' to reinstating promotion and relegation as the six-year pause comes to end in June. 'The clubs are fighting to improve the system as a whole and to provide basic rights for all clubs across the country,' Eduardo Carlezzo, the lawyer representing the 10 clubs said this week. 'It is absurd and nonsensical to oppose the return of promotion and relegation to Mexican football. Only one club would be promoted and one relegated. In Brazil, for example, four clubs are promoted and relegated every year. In Spain, Italy, France and England, three clubs (are relegated).' Furthermore, an anonymous executive from the league did not mince his words in hitting out at the lack of a true promotion and relegation system, and other issues in Mexican football. 'In Mexican football there are monopolistic practices and corruption where several (clubs) get together and vote against a free market, established guidelines, statutes and agreements,' he said. 'We have to clean up football and work together. We began to realize that there were people who were not going to keep their word and that's when we began this process.' 📸 Hector Vivas - 2024 Getty Images
