The Liga de Expansión MX champion will face the MLS Next Pro champion on July 27 in an unprecedented game in Austin, Texas.
Cancún, Quintana Roo, July 18, 2024.- Cancún FC and Austin FC II, champions of the Liga de Expansión MX and MLS Next Pro, respectively, will star in an unprecedented game next Saturday, July 27, at Parmer Field, in Austin, Texas.
Champion vs Champion! is the official name of the duel in the United States, an ambitious project, without a doubt, that in the future could mean a great alliance between both tournaments: the Liga de Expansión MX and MLS Next Pro.
MLS Next Pro hosted international competitions in 2022 and 2023, with the 'MLS Next Pro Invitational', which pitted clubs from the Sky Bet Championship (England) and Bundesliga 2 (Germany).
The third edition promises to be very attractive. For the Iguanas, for example, it represents the opportunity to internationalize their brand as ambassadors of one of the most important tourist destinations in the world.
The Caribbean team won the 2023 Apertura Tournament title on Sunday, December 3 at the 'Andrés Quintana Roo' stadium against the Potros de Hierro del Atlante, when they beat them (3-0).
Later, in the Final for the Champion of Champions, on Saturday, May 18 at the Ciudad de los Deportes, also against the azulgranas, but in a penalty shootout (3-1), they were proclaimed the absolute winner of the 2023-2024 Season of the Liga BBVA Expansión MX.
