LIGA MX

The Liga MX is one of the biggest soccer leagues in the Américas, having some of its founders still actively operating professionally.

 

The league started as an amateur league before officially moving into the professional phase in 1943. The professional era of the Liga MX formation came into play in 1943, with ten clubs announced as members.

 

These ten founders of the Liga MX came together to form a single national competition.

 

One of the earliest teams in the Liga MX history in the amateur era was Asturias in 1927. During this period, it was mainly a league competition played by teams within the México City vicinity.

 

The ten founders of Liga MX include Club América, Necaxa, Chivas Guadalajara, Atlante, Veracruz, Atlas, Marte, Moctezuma, Albinegros de Orizaba, Asturias.

 

 

1. Club América

Club America is also the most decorated soccer team in Mexico, having won more national championships and domestic cups than any other club.

 

The club was founded in 1916 and has never been relegated from the Liga MX since its establishment.

 

Club America is owned by the media company Grupo Televisa. The club also has a long-standing rivalry with Chivas Guadalajara, often called the El Super Clasico.

Although not a smooth stay in the first division, Club Necaxa was eventually relegated to the Méxican second division, the Ascenso MX, but bounced back in 2016.

 

Club Necaxa also played in the old Primera Fuerza of Mexico City league, winning four titles.

 

3. Chivas Guadalajara
