In order to enhance the development of all players in the Rojiblanca Youth Academy, the Sports Management team led by Javier Mier has made adjustments to the club's training structure. These changes have been strategically implemented to continue providing the best tools and knowledge to Chivas' future talents.
In addition to Tapatío, our affiliate in the Liga de Expansión MX, it is important to mention that starting in the 2025 Apertura, the Liga MX made an adjustment to the age limit for the lower categories, which means that starting this semester, we will have an Under-21 and Under-19 team.
