Tapatío has to bring their A-game right out of the gate to set the winning precedent for the rest of the academy squads following them this weekend. This is a huge opener for the entire Rojiblanca Nation to rally behind.
Saturday Brings a Double-Header of Youth Showdowns
The action doesn’t slow down for a second, with Saturday, August 29, bringing a packed schedule. We have two key Matchday 6 clashes against Pachuca over at Universidad del Fútbol. First up, the Men’s U-21 team takes the field at 9:15 AM, followed by the Men’s U-19 squad at 11:45 AM.

On the same day, over at La Esmeralda, our U-17 Men’s team faces León at 11:30 AM, and the U-15 Men’s team goes head-to-head with León earlier at 9:00 AM. That’s four academy teams, all battling it out on Saturday in two different locations! Talk about an intense day for scouting talent and cheering on the future stars.
