Headlines: Pro/Rel Debate in Mexico Reaches Fever Pitch

The Athletic:

The debate over promotion and relegation in Mexico has reached a point of no return. Liga MX, the country’s top men’s division, is currently operating without the mechanism, and the league’s decision-makers do not plan on bringing it back. Mexico first suspended pro/rel in 2020 during the COVID-19 pandemic, as an extreme cost-saving measure. Since then, proponents for its elimination, including Mexico Football Federation (FMF) officials and the Liga MX’s wealthy owners, have quietly grown, while the voices of those who want to bring it back have intensified.
