ON SANCTIONS FOR THE LATTER
From the Apertura 2021 to the current Clausura 2024, the points of each club in the regular phases have been added up, thus establishing economic sanctions for those teams that occupy the last positions in the percentage table. Under this system, the last-place team will have to contribute 80 million pesos to Liga MX, while the penalties for the second-last and third-last teams will be 47 and 33 million pesos, respectively.
RETURNS TO LIGA MX
Pumas has managed to repatriate Jorge Ruvalcaba, who returns to Liga MX after a spell in European soccer, specifically in Belgium. Ruvalcaba, a product of UNAM's youth academy, will rejoin the team after his brief stint with SL16 FC, an affiliate of Standard Liege in the Belgian Second Division.
IS CHUCKY BACK?
After Chicharito's historic return to the Rebaño, the Rojiblanca board is determined to continue to significantly strengthen the team and have pinned all their hopes on bringing Chucky back next summer. The initial option, which was Carlos Vela, has gradually lost momentum, and as plan B is Hirving Lozano, who also has a close link with Erick Gutiérrez, one of his best friends. In the past, both had expressed their desire to play together again, after having played together for both Tuzos and PSV.
HOW THEY COMPETE AGAINST EA SPORTS
Konami is EA Sports' main competitor in soccer video games. Previously, the Japanese company's flagship product was Pro Evolution Soccer (PES), which was renamed eFootball as of 2022, just when it signed a sponsorship with Liga MX. In addition, Konami also has an individual sponsorship agreement with Club América.
“We had to introduce ourselves with the Mexican market because we were living a transition ourselves, changing the name of our product from PES to eFootball. We also changed the business theme because we went from selling the physical disc to free downloads (to be able to play).”
REJUVENATING THE AUDIENCE
Liga MX is celebrating two years of sponsorship with Konami, and one of the first results is the addition of 250,000 consumers with an average age of 21. Both companies share the goal of rejuvenating their audiences.
NO LONGER IMMUNE TO THE FINE
With three rounds remaining in the Clausura 2024 and the 2023-2024 soccer year, the three teams that will be sanctioned for the quotient have already been determined. One of the clubs that will not be able to avoid this penalty is Xolos de Tijuana, currently in last place in the percentage. If it remains in this position at the end of the season, it will start the 2024-2025 season with its quotient reset to zero.
ARRIVES TO LIGA MX
Atlante, recognized as a historic team in Mexican soccer, could return to the First Division, occupying the position currently held by Mazatlán FC. Additionally, it is rumored that Atlante would play its matches at the renovated Neza Stadium, a venue with a long history in Liga MX. This news has been disclosed through information provided by Pepe Hanan, who has also commented on the reasons behind the possible disappearance of Mazatlán FC, despite being a relatively new club on the soccer scene.
THE WAIT IS OVER
The wait for Liga MX is over, the best actions of the best club level tournament in Mexico are back with the best goals, the best plays, the best players and the best controversies to the lawns of Mexico.

Watch out for this America player:
For this match, the player to watch will be center forward and national team selection; Henry Martin. The current attacker for America has played a fundamental role in the victories obtained during the season, helping to retain possession of the ball and having a great capacity to distribute it in the opponent's field, likewise, his great right foot is a latent danger for all goalkeepers, so he will be important to obtain the victory in favor of the Eagles.
Watch out for this Puebla player:
Throughout these 90 minutes, the player to watch for the Puebla strip will be Lucas Cavallini, the Puebla center forward has been characterized as a leader for the squad and, in addition, has plenty of experience to become a latent danger throughout the match every time he touches the ball inside the small area.
Puebla's final lineup:
J. Rodríguez; B. Angulo, E. Orona, S. Olmedo, G. Ferrareis; A. Herrera, P. González, D. de Buen, L. García; L. Cavallini, M. Sansores.
America's last lineup:
L. Malagón; C. Calderón, S. Cáceres, I. Lichnovsky, I. Reyes; A. Fidalgo, J. Dos Santos; J. Quiñones, D. Valdés, A. Zendejas; H. Martín.
Background:
América and Puebla have met on at least 46 occasions (24 Azulcremas wins, 16 draws, 6 enfranjadas wins) where the scales are tipped entirely in favor of the Aguilas del América. In terms of goals scored, América has 82 goals while Puebla has scored 48. Their last meeting dates back to matchday 3 of the Apertura 2023 where América won 3-0 at the Estadio Azteca.
About the Stadium:
The match will take place at the two-time World Cup champion Estadio Cuauhtémoc, a venue that is used by La Franja del Puebla to play its Liga MX and Liga MX Femenil home games there. At one time, Puebla even played the Copa Libertadores in this mythical stadium. It was inaugurated on October 5, 1968 and since then, it has been the meeting point for thousands of Poblanos who can be in the seats of the Stadium with a capacity for 51,000 spectators.
At least leave with dignity
Puebla was a disappointment this tournament. Lately, the team from the strip has distinguished itself for being one of the clubs that has qualified for the final phase, either in the playoffs or the direct playoffs, but Puebla was fighting to stand out in Mexican soccer, however, this tournament ended all that fantasy because the Puebla team returned to the bottom of the general table and was the first team to be eliminated from the tournament. Now, on the last date of the tournament, they will be looking to upset América and take the last three points of the season.
Seeking a second championship
Club América is determined to maintain its dominance in Mexican soccer. Currently, it stands out as the best team on the field, demonstrating an impressive performance that positions it as the current Liga MX champion. Their presence in the playoffs is practically assured, as they not only remain at the top of the overall standings, but have also impressed everyone with their ability to compete in two tournaments simultaneously without affecting their performance. They have consistently achieved positive results, securing victories without setbacks. Now, in the Angelópolis, América seeks to continue to impose its authority even as an away team, demonstrating its determination to remain at the top of Mexican soccer.
The journey is over
In the blink of an eye we have reached the 17th round of the Liga MX, what seemed to be a long journey full of emotions has come to an end to close the chapter corresponding to the regular tournament, now, in this last round, some teams are looking for the possibility of getting into the places of direct classification to the quarterfinals of the big party of soccer in Mexico, while others want to get into the Play-In to have chances to fight for the championship despite the bad regular tournament played. The truth is that this matchday is also exciting because it means that the famous Mexican football playoff will begin soon and the eight teams that reach the quarterfinals will fight to win the crown of the Clausura 2024 Tournament.
