Marco Fabián criticizes the organization of the Liga MX in the middle of the World Cup
The former Chivas player questioned the fact that El Tri interrupted the local tournament. Marco Fabián criticized how the end of Clausura 2026 was handled
The closing of Clausura 2026 was affected by Mexico's preparation for the 2026 World Cup. Several clubs were affected because they had to loan players to Javier Aguirre. Marco Fabián questioned the organization of the tournament.
It is evident that the Mexican team conditioned the development of the Clausura 2026 Liguilla. Several teams fighting for the title were forced to give up their players for the start of the Mexican team's training camp.
Marco Fabián questioned that there was not good planning so that the local tournament was not affected. The former Chivas de Guadalajara player gave European football as an example. The tournaments in the Old Continent continue to be played, but this has not affected the clubs.
“The only thing I can say is that Liga MX has to learn from other leagues and try to accommodate the dates so that the finals coincide with what you work on throughout the tournament and coordinate so that they cannot take away your best players,” said Fabián in a statement released by Mediotiempo.
Javier Aguirre's first call for the concentration modules was 12 footballers from the local tournament. The most affected club was the Chivas de Guadalajara, a team that lost up to 5 players for the 2026 Liguilla.
The players called were Raúl Rangel, Luis Romo, Roberto Alvarado, Brian Gutiérrez and Armando “Hormiga” González, from Chivas; Jesús Gallardo and Alexis Vega, from Toluca; Israel Reyes, from America; Érik Lira, from Cruz Azul; Guillermo Martínez, from the UNAM Pumas; Carlos Acevedo, from Santos Laguna and Gilberto Mora from the Xolos de Tijuana.
Marco Fabián continued to develop the example of European football. The final part of the league tournaments is still being played on the Old Continent. The UEFA Champions League final is also about to be played. No team is above the clubs that seek to finish the season in a good way.
"We are here in Europe and we see that the leagues and the Champions League are ending, while in Mexico it is a little different. Obviously, we are all in the boat of the Mexican team, but it is a situation that is a little incomprehensible on the part of the clubs. I think that part of the organization must be improved by Liga MX," he added.
The final of Clausura 2026 will take place between Thursday, May 21 and Sunday, May 24. The protagonists of this meeting will be Cruz Azul and the UNAM Pumas. The Cementero team lost Érik Lira and the Auriazules gave up Guillermo Martínez. Both clubs will have the loss of a footballer due to the call-up of Javier Aguirre.
