List of football clubs in Mexico explained

This is a list of football clubs in Mexico. Currently the governing body of football in Mexico is the Mexican Football Federation (FMF), which is in charge of its national teams and its leagues, with the highest one being the Liga MX. FMF was founded in 1927 and is a member of both FIFA and CONCACAF. The newly instituted Liga de Balompié Mexicano is unrecognized by FIFA, however, it is in CONIFA membership.[1]
