Mexican clubs file CAS suit for return of pro/rel

Mexican second division clubs have filed a lawsuit against the top flight and the Mexican Football Federation over the suspension of promotion and relegation rules for the 2025-26 season, with the clubs unite to reinstate these processes. A court decision previously allowed a six-year pause in these procedures, which now hangs in the balance as stakeholders from both leagues prepare to discuss its extension at their upcoming General Assemblies. The case was filed by 10 Liga de Expansión teams and is set to be decided before the season kicks off, with uncertainty still looming over the return of promotion and relegation after the COVID-19 pandemic.
