America does not take its finger off the line to that Liga MX authorizes him to play their play-in and league matches – if they advance – at the Cuauhtémoc stadium, taking advantage of the fact that in the competition regulations there is a regulatory loophole that Eagles board seeks to take advantage.

This option It is the one that is managing the Americanist team after the unusual box office success they had in the game on matchday 16 against Pachuca, where more than 40 thousand fans attended, generating a synergy between team and fans that could make a difference in the final games.

In the first instance, it had been determined that there were regulatory impediments so that America could carry out its mission of moving to this World Cup venue 38 years ago and which remains in perfect condition, as was confirmed in the duel against Pachuca.

But now the leaders of the Coapa team want to rely on what the regulations say, which establishes that: “Unless there is a duly justified cause, the presidency of the League will authorize the club to play or not play its match at another venue.”

This means that the decision will be up to the League as long as the teams in question agree, that is, Atlas or Chivas would have to authorize if they play in this scenario or at the end of the day they force América to remain in the Ciudad de los Deportes stadiumwhich was registered as its official headquarters.

Even the La Corregidora stadium in Querétaro, which also appears as an alternate venue, It has been discarded by the leadership of the “millonetas”, because they consider that it does not offer what the American fans represented in the city of Puebla where the eleventh team led by Jardine felt like they were at the Azteca.

Obviously the scenario of the Strip team imposes on anyone and it also has greater access facilities, as well as more spacious stands than the house it shared with Cruz Azul located in the south-west area of ​​CDMX.

So it will be in the next few hours when the determination will be made. about a possible authorization of this scenario or in the last case, the Hidalgo de los Tuzos del Pachuca stadium due to its proximity to Mexico City.

The determination will depend on the teams agreeing and that the League only establishes the approval so that América can be authorized, which would be a decision that would benefit them in the sporting and financial aspects.
