Sergio “Checo” Pérez will not be able to be in the stadium, but his mind is already set on the decisive match of the 2026 World Cup. The Mexican Formula 1 driver shared his opinion about the Final between Spain and Argentina on July 19 in New York.

The dilemma of the Mexican pilot

“Difficult. The truth is that I have a very great connection with Spain. I spend a good time there, with my family every year. I have a lot of affection for Spain,” declared the Jalisco native from the Belgian Grand Prix.

His link with Argentina also weighs. “For Argentina too, for (Lionel) Messi, the best player in history. I would love to see him win… the truth is that it is difficult to choose one. I think whoever it is will be a very good winner,” he added about the soccer star.

The Cadillac steering wheel considers that both finalists deserve to be there. “They both deserve to be in the Final, I think we are going to see the best game of the World Cup and I think it is the most interesting thing of the weekend,” he concluded with a laugh.

Checo, who has spent long periods in Spain due to his family and professional commitments, recognizes that the Final will be the most attractive sporting event of the weekend. His statement reflects the affection he feels for both teams, although his heart seems to lean towards Lionel Messi, whom he described as the best footballer in history.

Liga MX Femenil changes its tournament: two groups and fewer dates

The Liga MX Femenil implements a two-group format to alleviate the calendar and optimize FIFA dates.

The Liga MX Femenil is preparing for Apertura 2026 with a restructuring that modifies the traditional format. The new distribution seeks to reduce the load of matches and better adapt to international commitments.

New competition scheme

The 18 clubs will be divided into two groups of nine teams. Each squad will play 14 games: eight against rivals from the same sector and six against clubs from the opposite group. This eliminates double days and optimizes FIFA dates.

“We are making a reform, we are eliminating double days and connecting better with the fans,” declared Mikel Arriola, president commissioner of the FMF and Executive President of Liga MX.

Group distribution

Group A: Tigres, Rayadas, Toluca, Cruz Azul, FC Juárez, Atlético de San Luis, Querétaro, Atlante and Santos.
Group B: América, Chivas, Pachuca, Pumas, Tijuana, León, Atlas, Puebla and Necaxa.

The design seeks to balance the competition and facilitate the physical management of the soccer players. The board trusts that this model will benefit both the show and the players’ performance.
