Mexican Senate takes steps to restore promotion and relegation in Liga MX

The Mexican Senate announced plans to propose legislation restoring promotion and relegation in soccer. The proposal, led by Sen. Clemente Castañeda of the Movimiento Ciudadano party, seeks to enshrine sporting merit in national sports regulations. This follows the controversial suspension of the system in April 2020, which was initially intended to last five years. Despite a promise to reinstate it, second-division clubs have argued that their rights have been ignored, leading to protests at various levels of the sport. Debate continues, as Liga MX officials declined invitations to address the Senate directly, while public discontent grows over the lack of opportunity for lower-tier clubs and players.
