Mexican football projects face challenges in pursuit of Primera División

An investigation into the ambitions of five individuals seeking to promote their football projects to Mexico’s Primera División examines the distinction between insufficient projects and true opportunists. The subjects identified include Jeff Luhnow in Cancún, Arturo Lomelí in La Paz, Eduardo López in Zacatecas, Alberto Castellanos in Guadalajara, and José Luis Higuera in Morelia.

The analysis suggests that while some projects may lack the economic stability or infrastructure required for top-tier competition in the 21st century, the desire for promotion does not inherently make a project opportunistic. The report contrasts the current state of the league with the 1986-87 season, noting that the number of teams in the Primera División has decreased from 21 to 18, and highlighting a shift in the geographic distribution of major football cities across Mexico.
