Everything seems to indicate that the minor rule 11/20 implemented in the current Apertura 2024 tournament, its days are numbered due to the fact that some teams in the Liga MXthey do not see the benefit and rather a detriment to the spectacle that the Mexican soccer squads’ own directives demand.
For that reason and according to credible sources, they assured The Opinion That it is close to December 5 when the team owners meet, it will be taken into consideration whether there is financial and sporting viability to maintain a rule that has really beenFrom their point of view they did not see much benefit.

Squads such as América, Cruz Azul, Tigres, Atlas, Puebla, Necaxa, FC Juárez, Querétaro, Mazatlán and Atlético de San Luisthey are ensuring that the use of minor players is at the discretion and benefit of each team, above all to give continuity to the development of these players and not to represent a debut and farewell for the young players.
The arguments of the teams are based more on the economic aspect, that in sports and especially because many of their projects were affected when it came to fighting for a place in the league for the title, but especially in the lower part of the table where many teams said goodbye very soon to competing for something in the Apertura 2024 tournament.
Cases like that of Cruz Azul, where Amaury Morales and Mateo Levy, Players under 19 years of age added, respectively, 192 and 191 minutes of action, demonstrating that it was difficult for the Blue Machine coach Martín Anselmi to meet this criterion of giving him opportunity for young people in their lineup.
YoEven the cement producers had to resort to the benefit of these two players added more than 250 minutes so that the minutes corresponding to their stage in the Under 20 World Cup that took place in Guanajuato in March would automatically be valid, with which Cruz Azul was able to add the 1000 minutes required by the rule.
Arguments like those put forward in Pumas that the production of minor players must be analyzed and under solid support and not simply send young people to the maximum circuit to burn them out so that they take less time to return than to stay permanently in the maximum circuit.
The other side of the coin
Faced with this disagreement, contrasts the attitude of teams like Pachuca, Santos, Monterrey, who consider that the rule should continue because it is the only way to be able to renew and give greater weapons to the Mexican national teams.
It should be noted that squads like Pachuca, they opted to continue giving play to their young players, such as the case of Bryan Alonso González who added 1,372 minutes, but with the exception that he is no longer a player under 20 years of age, while Elías Enrique Montiel with 1,157 meets that criterion as he is 19 years and 1 month old, while Gael Arturo Álvarez is 18 years old, 8 months added 226 minutes and Alexis Domínguez at 19 years, 10 months added 69 minutes.
While in Chivas the only player under 20 years old who saw action constantly was Yael Padilla at 18 years, 10 months, adding 369 minutes, while Armando “Hormiga” González, at 21 years, 6 months, added 511 minutes.
All these factors will be put on the discussion table and it will be the plenary session of the assembly that determines If the opportunity for minors passes away, or there really is that conviction to renew their teams and their payrolls in Mexican soccer for the different teams that make up the first division.
