The Decisive Phase of Apertura 2025 begins
This Wednesday the quarterfinals of the Liga MX Femenil begins, marking the beginning of the most exciting stage of the Apertura 2025 tournament. The technical analysis positions Tigres UANL, Pachuca and the Águilas del América as the squads with the greatest probability of winning the championship, based on their consistent performance throughout the regular phase. These Mexican women’s soccer powers top the list of favorites, but the league is a separate stage where pressure and details define the champion.
The Top 4 of the circuit, completed by Toluca, reaches this stage with the benefit of home field in the second leg, a logistical advantage that can be decisive.

These teams have the last word and have the talent and determination necessary to upset all the predictions and advance to the semifinals, promising a high-level football battle.
