Mexican league under investigation

The Mexican Federal Competition Commission has announced the opening of an official investigation into potential monopolistic practices within the country's football sector, focusing on the commercial structure of Liga MX. The investigation is based on indications that a limited number of companies, particularly “Televisa” and “T.V. Azteca,” subsidiaries of the Salinas Group, own and control broadcasting rights and club ownerships, thereby strengthening their influence in the market. Key points under scrutiny include the organization of club participation in competitions, participation conditions, and related services, amid concerns over abuse of power. This investigation follows a previous fine of $8.87 million imposed on 17 clubs and the football federation in 2021. The industry generates over $2.8 billion annually, provides 150,000 jobs, and attracts an audience of more than 250,000 fans at weekly matches. The upcoming 2026 World Cup final hosted by Mexico is expected to be watched by over 30 million viewers.
