Overview
- The league formally launched Liga Mexicana de Futbol Profesional A.C. after owners approved a new corporate governance model in a presentation made Friday, marking the shift from planning to initial execution.
- Francisco Iturbide was named president ejecutivo with unanimous backing from the 18 club owners and the FMF and will run day-to-day league operations and relations with clubs.
- The restructure created four strategic committees — sport, commercial, ethics and governance, and investment and certification — to professionalize decision-making and oversight.
- Iturbide said his first priorities are consolidating the league's economic direction, raising competition quality, and investing in stadium infrastructure and digital connectivity to improve the fan experience.
- The administration inherits contested regulatory issues, most notably the regulatory end of promotion and relegation, and the next steps to watch are how the new body and committees resolve those rules and monetize the league's commercial assets.
