Liga MX Femenil head Mariana Gutierrez Bernardez has set an ambitious target to make her league the best in the world.
The Mexican women’s top flight has only been in existence since 2016, but has already made major strides as it develops a foothold in Mexico and beyond.
In 2019, the first leg of its final drew more TV viewers in the U.S. than the NWSL final, with the standard of play continuing to improve and the built-in advantage of clubs with major brand recognition like Club America and Chivas.
Speaking to Goal, Bernardez admits that she is aiming high amid a push for larger salaries and high-profile foreign signings.
When asked about her league’s future ambitions on All of US: The U.S. Women’s Soccer Show, Bernardez says: “That's an easy one, we want to be the best league in the world.
