The open door by Raúl Jiménez

Raúl Jiménez continues to be active in European football, now as a striker for Fulham. His performance in the Premier League keeps him one of the most prominent Mexicans abroad. However, the gunner’s future could include a return to Mexico.

In an interview with TUDN, Jiménez spoke about the possibility of returning to América, the club where he began his professional career. The player made it clear that he does not close any doors.

“Now I am focused on having a great World Cup. I have never closed the door to returning to America and it would be something nice,” he declared.

The Mexican attacker has his sights set on his fourth World Cup participation, scheduled for 2026. His experience in competitive leagues in Europe, including Fulham, has strengthened his profile as a top striker.

A possible return to the azulcrema team excites the fans. Jiménez would be a significant reinforcement for América and also a symbol of the success of Mexican football abroad. For now, the forward is focused on the National Team, but keeps open the possibility of wearing the Águilas shirt again in the near future.

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.
