The significant growth of the LIGA MX Femenil was once again evident with the development of the Apertura 2022. One of the league´s objectives is to reach more people, growing audience and attendance, as has been happening in these first five years of history.

🎙 And undoubtedly, another massive objective of the league is to be more than a game for girls and women in Mexico, as mentioned by Mariana Gutiérrez Bernárdez, President of Liga MX Femenil at #SiSMasters: “We have a purpose, that girls and women can transcend through a ball. I have a responsibility every day to be able to motivate and inspire girls to be able to kick a ball or at least have the right to choose to kick that ball. I am thrilled to know that girls have this opportunity to be able to choose what they want. And if it’s football, even more so.”

🔝 Despite having just five years, the Liga MX Femenil has impressive numbers; it is getting fans´ attention from social media, television, streaming platforms and attending the stadium. Their objective is clear: keep growing and be considered one of the world’s best women´s football leagues. And certainly, they are on the way to achieving that.
