The Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) confirmed the exclusion of the León team from the 2025 Club World Cup, thus supporting the decision previously made by FIFA. The exclusion was due to issues related to multiple ownership with the Pachuca club. Following this news, León issued a statement expressing its discontent with the resolution, mentioning that there was external influence in the final decision.
Jesús Martínez Murguía, president of León, apologized to the team's supporters through a statement. However, some fans reacted negatively, demanding that he sell the team. Social media featured comments calling for the sale of the club so that the current management group would leave.
Furthermore, there were questions from León supporters about Pachuca's participation instead of their team in the 2025 Club World Cup. They recalled that León was the previous winner of the Concachampions before Pachuca, which raised questions about the decision made regarding this matter.
