The Eagles of America and Chivas of Guadalajara can boast that in the world of the most valuable franchises, they are the most valuable Mexican teams in a landscape that includes teams from the level of Real Madrid, Manchester United, as well as teams from the NBA and the NFL.

The above came up After Sportico, a website specializing in the commercial value of teams Globally, revealed its list of the most valuable franchises in the world, only Chivas and Club America appear from Mexico. The list includes teams from the United States, as well as brands the size of Real Madrid, Manchester United, Manchester City, Bayern Munich, and AC Milan, among the most highly valued, along with Major League Soccer (MLS) teams that are even ranked above Liga MX clubs. The Dallas Cowboys, as a brand, demonstrates the value of sports franchises in the United States, where the Cowboys stand out as the most valuable team in the NFL, the Los Angeles Lakers in the NBA, and the New York Yankees in the MLB. However, this does not mean that things aren't done well in Mexico or that there aren't teams with high resale value. The most valuable franchises: From the fact that America and Chivas are the only two Latin American franchises outside the United States that are among the 170 most valuable sports brands in the world does not mean they are above several important MLS clubs. In the formula used to measure the cost and value of franchises, the aforementioned website specializing in these topics includes factors such as fan base, sales, revenue, stadium, infrastructure, players, and above all, history, which is why America ranks 162nd and Chivas 166th.

The simple fact that Cruz Azul and Tigres don't have a stadium that meets modern needs and reflects the overall value of their franchises, as is the case with America and its renovated Azteca Stadium or Chivas and its ultramodern Akron Stadium, makes them a different case when it comes to this analysis.

America has an estimated franchise value of $770 million, with revenues of $167 million, representing a 3 percent growth by 2025, while Chivas reached an estimated value of $730 million,with revenues of $160 million, also projecting 3 percent growth.

Why MLS Surpasses Liga MX

MLS ranks higher than Liga MX simply because of the arrival of international stars like Lionel Messi, Luis Suarez, Rodrigo de Paul, Jordi Alba, and Sergio Busquets.

Busquets at Inter Miami or Thomas Muller at the Vancouver Whitecaps, as well as the cases of South Korean Son Heung-min at LAFC and Hirving Lozano at San Diego FC, have justified the investment made by teams in this league to dominate a landscape that is becoming increasingly difficult for Liga MX teams. The most valuable MLS team according to Sportico is LAFC, with an estimated value of $1.28 billion, followed by Inter Miami at $1.19 billion. LA Galaxy, Atlanta United, New York City FC, Austin FC, and Seattle Sounders are all valued higher than the two most important teams in Mexico.
