The Atlante football club has secured a return to Mexico's top-tier league, replacing Mazatlán FC. Under the leadership of coach Miguel Herrera, the team will face the challenge of competing with clubs that have significantly higher market values, a common characteristic of teams in the MX League.
Mexico's national team has secured significant sponsorship deals for the 2026 Open, but ticket prices for their matches are notably higher than those of their counterparts in the MX League.
At the Atlante, only four players have a market value exceeding $1 million. Notably, Ecuadorian players Diogo Bagũí and Luis Puente are valued at $1.1 million, while Jhojan Julio, another Ecuadorian player, holds a significantly higher value of $1.38 million.
