Femexfut has announced the sanctions imposed on seven players for their alleged involvement in a match-fixing scandal during the 2024-25 season of the Liga Expansión MX and Liga Premier MX. The case became public after a video was disclosed by the TUDN program, showing Real Apodaca players organizing how to conduct the match against Los Cabos UTD.
In the recorded conversation, the players agreed to a draw in the first half of the match to fulfill certain bets. This situation has generated significant controversy in Mexican football, revealing a concerning case of corruption in the sport.
After the investigation, the Disciplinary Commission decided to impose a total suspension of 57 years, distributed among the seven players involved. These sanctions are based on the FMF articles and the evidence presented during the process.
The scandal has called into question the integrity of the competition and sparked a debate about the need for stricter measures to prevent such situations in Mexican football. In light of this case, there are expectations for increased controls and oversight to ensure transparency and integrity in the sport.
