The Mexican Football Federation (FMF) officially responded to the statement of the nine teams in the Liga de Expansión MX who demanded the return of promotion by sporting merit.

The response was published on social media and clarified the points raised by the clubs that went to the Court of Arbitration for Sport (TAS).

The FMF emphasized that promotion remains open to teams that meet the certification established since 2022.

"Promotion by merit is open," the organization assured, as long as the previously determined requirements are met in the Assembly.

Similarly, the Federation clarified that the certification rules have not been modified and that, to date, only two teams have managed to comply with them.

They also denied the lack of dialogue between Liga MX and the Expansion clubs, stating that there is communication during the ordinary Assemblies.

"Certification for this season is ongoing. There are no sanctions or illegal withholding of the Improvement Fund," the FMF explained, adding that more than 1,100 million pesos have been delivered to the clubs in recent years.

Additionally, they confirmed that Miguel Ángel Diez is the current director of the Liga de Expansión, and that the TAS will receive all necessary documentation.
