“Within the framework of the permanent revisions carried out by Liga MX to the fields of soccer stadiums and despite the maintenance efforts of the Clubs, the Liga MX Review Commission, after a complete technical evaluation, ruled that the field of the Jalisco Stadium is not in optimal conditions to carry out the soccer matches corresponding to Matchday 1 of the Clausura 2023 Tournament“, explained Liga MX in a statement.

With the suspension of the game between Atlas vs Toluca, there are already two games corresponding to the opening of the Clausura Tournament that have been postponed, added to that of León FC vs Mazatlán, which was suspended for totally different reasons and that have to do with the violent acts that took over Sinaloa since last January 5.
