A meeting this week to decide on major changes in Mexican soccer produced little change at all, with a decision to be presented in 60 days.

The much-vaunted change in the league could include a possible expansion to 20 teams, a proposal put forward by relegation-threatened Estudiantes Tecos.

One of the major changes is to get a sponsor onboard, with Santander currently in pole position, and separate the league from the Mexican Soccer Federation (FMF), in a similar move as what the English Premier League did in 1992.

“Everything is born from the league and its teams and it is time to come together to restructure the way the league works and strengthen the concept of the league as a guiding focus of soccer,” Decio de Maria, Secretary General of the FMF told the press in Mexico City.

Charged with deciding on future plans for the league is the Sports Development Committee made up of Chivas, Atlas, Monterrey, Tigres, Pachuca, Santos, Morelia and Club America.

“They analyzed various models and agreed that the project is generally accepted,” added de Maria. “In the next 60 days, an assembly will be called with the only function being how and when the restructuring of the Premier Division and Promotion League will be done.”

Former Chief Executive of the English Premier League, Rick Parry has made a number of visits to Mexico to give advice about the future of the league, but it is thought that the playoff system and the two tournaments in one year are likely to remain a fixture.

A key focus of the restructuring is thought to be on the commercial side and improving the image of the league both in Mexico and abroad.
