Mexico’s top women’s league, Liga Femenil BBVA, began the Apertura 2026 with a new group-stage format that splits 18 clubs into two groups of nine, sending the top four from each group directly to the quarter-finals and removing the Play-In round. As the tournament progressed through its early rounds, Tigres UANL maintained a perfect record, securing four wins in four matches. During the third round (Jornada 3), Tigres prepared to host Tuzas, a team that had recently gained momentum with two consecutive victories. Other notable fixtures during this period included América Femenil facing Puebla and Pachuca Femenil taking on Pumas. Cruz Azul Femenil faced challenges in the early stages, sitting in penultimate place in Group A following a heavy loss to América. By Jornada 7, FC Juárez Bravas, coached by Óscar Fernández, entered their matchup against Necaxa Centellas seeking a fourth consecutive victory. The Bravas held fourth place in Group 1 with 12 points, bolstered by a late 1-0 win against Atlante secured by Miah Zuazua in stoppage time. Necaxa entered the fixture at the bottom of Group 2 without a point. Additionally, Chivas was scheduled to face Rayadas at Estadio Akron. In recent action, Monterrey secured a 3-2 victory over Chivas, reaching 18 points and moving closer to the top of Group A. The match was characterized by significant errors, including an own goal by Chivas goalkeeper Blanca Félix and a subsequent own goal by Monterrey’s Daiane Limeira. Meanwhile, Santos Laguna Femenil, currently in seventh place in Group A, prepared to face Atlético de San Luis following a 3-0 loss to Tigres. Meanwhile, the league continues to navigate administrative and social developments, including strategic plans for professionalization through 2031 and addressing player concerns regarding conduct within the sport.
