The club was emphatic in declaring that its commitment to supporting the Mexican National Team is “unbreakable,” regardless of the category or competition being played. The board ratified that any player summoned by the FMF for the World Cup will integrate under the terms and times previously agreed upon. In recent hours, the Mexican football environment was shaken by a series of versions that cast doubt on the willingness of one of the country's most important clubs to collaborate with the national process. “Our support for the agreement reached at the Assembly of Owners is absolute and irrevocable,” the team's communication concluded, asking the public not to pay attention to unfounded notes. This clarification comes at an opportune sporting moment for the team led by Nicolás Larcamón. Currently, Cruz Azul is positioned as the runner-up in the competition with 27 points, making its qualification for the Liguilla practically a fact. With this decision, La Máquina reaffirms its role as an institution that prioritizes the success of Mexican football in the highest sporting event, making it clear that there will be no special requests or exceptions that hinder Mexico's path to its own World Cup. However, Cruz Azul has forcefully addressed the rumors to clarify its official position regarding the loan of its players for the 2026 World Cup. Through social networks and various digital platforms, a rumor began to circulate that generated great controversy among fans and the media. These rumors indicated that the club's board intended to request special permission from the FMF to retain its call-up players —such as the cases of Erik Lira or Charly Rodríguez— during the Liguilla phase. Amid the noise generated, the celestial institution issued an official statement to deny these versions, describing them as lies.
