Liga MX Femenil, established in 2017, has seen a rise in prominent international players. The league increased its limit for foreign players from two to five in 2024, and will allow seven starting in 2025, reflecting growing international interest.
Jenni Hermoso, a key figure in Spanish football, signed with Pachuca in 2022 and later played for Tigres, becoming a World Cup champion with Spain in 2023 while with Pachuca. Eugénie Le Sommer, the all-time leading scorer for the French national team, will join Toluca in 2025 after a 15-year tenure with Olympique Lyonnais.
Amandine Henry, a decorated French midfielder and Champions League winner, joined Toluca in 2024, bringing experience to the team’s midfield. Sandra Paños, a former Barcelona goalkeeper and multiple-time European champion, played for Club América in 2024 before moving to San Diego Wave in the NWSL this summer. Irene Guerrero, part of the 2023 FIFA Women's World Cup-winning Spain squad, also joined Club América in 2024 after leaving Manchester United.
Despite attracting high-profile players, Liga MX Femenil faces challenges with international visibility. While selected matches are available in the United States, broadcasting access is limited in Europe and other regions. Fans can find more coverage on the Liga MX Femenil YouTube channel and social media accounts.
