Glory, Not Money, Should Be Mexican Football's Ultimate Goal
When Mexico crowned a new football king on Sunday, the images of the deciding match couldn't have been more emotional: Toluca FC dethroned reigning champions Club América to win the league for the first time in 15 years, as fans erupted in celebration and kids wept in the stands amid fireworks and colorful smoke bombs. Off the pitch, however, Mexico's football league, one of the world's largest by attendance, faces an ironic juxtaposition of great commercial success with mediocre sporting results. While the league is growing in revenue, sponsorships and audiences, the quality of the game and the performance of the national team have been disappointing, in particular the elimination of Mexico in the first round of the 2022 World Cup.

This article was translated into English by Artificial Intelligence. You can read the original version in 🇪🇸 here. Alexis Vega became the star of Toluca in the Clausura 2024 playoffs, as his participation and goals have Antonio Mohamed's team 180 minutes away from the League title. Unforgettable night 💫 For Alexis Vega with @TolucaFC, he scored a brace, his second goal was the 800th goal in the history of the Semifinals, and he also took home the #TecateJugadorDelPartido 💯. @CervezaTecate — Liga BBVA MX (@LigaBBVAMX) May 18, 2025 At the end of the match against Tigres, the scarlet attacker spoke to TUDN microphones where he had a very special conversation with José Sturnino Cardozo, who had convinced him to return home. "Every time you write to me, I score a goal, you always bring good luck. You are a super important person, and because of you, I returned to Toluca, and I am eternally grateful," said Vega. "I had a conversation with Alexis, he had the humility to call me, I told him he had to make the decision to return home because the teams that were looking for him were two media-driven teams. He needed to recover and get physically fit as he is now. You understood that this was the path to success. Football will reward you, and surely next week you'll be celebrating," added Cardozo, words that moved Vega to tears. 😭 ALEXIS BROKE DOWN. José Cardozo reminded Alexis Vega of that key recommendation upon arriving at Toluca… and the player couldn't contain his emotion. ⚽ The all-time top scarlet scorer, a fundamental piece in Vega's growth, became the protagonist of a memorable moment… — 90total (@90totalmx) May 18, 2025 Pepe is an idol, and I am very grateful to him. I am very happy, very moved to see the stadium full," concluded the attacker.
