Grupo Pachuca Confirms Plan to Sell Majority of Club León Within Six Months

The divestment answers tougher multi‑club ownership rules, with offers from Mexican or foreign investors and a pledge to keep the team in León.

Overview

  • Club president Jesús Martínez Murguía said negotiations are advanced and the sale is expected to close in roughly half a year, potentially sooner.
  • Grupo Pachuca plans to cede majority control but keep a minority stake and some sporting influence to sustain the current project.
  • The move follows heightened enforcement from FIFA and Liga MX against multi‑club ownership, which has set deadlines for owners to regularize holdings.
  • Martínez Murguía confirmed talks with domestic and foreign investors, while no buyer has been announced and financial terms remain undisclosed.
  • Leadership insists the team will not relocate from León, and some reports suggest an unconfirmed plan to transfer about 60% of shares.
