Women's association football has long been a largely amateur sport in Mexico, given the greater emphasis of the male competitions.[1][2] However, with the establishment of Liga MX Femenil and rapid growth since 2021, women’s football in Mexico has raised its profile enough to compete for sponsors and professional international talent not only within Mexico, but also from Europe, Africa, South America, and the United States.[3][4]
