Match-Fixing Scandal Rocks Liga MX Femenil

A major scandal has erupted in Mexican women’s football. According to 365Scores, the Disciplinary Commission of the Mexican Football Federation has launched a formal investigation into players from Mazatlán FC’s women’s team over potential match-fixing tied to sports betting activity.

An official statement from the Commission confirmed the case was opened following indications of possible breaches to the FMF’s Code of Ethics, specifically Appendix IV, which addresses competition integrity. The involved players will be granted the right to a hearing as evidence is reviewed prior to a final resolution.

365Scores reports that authorities have gathered evidence suggesting the involvement of team members in influencing match outcomes potentially linked to betting markets — raising suspicions of deliberate match manipulation.

In response, Mazatlán FC Femenil released a statement denying all accusations. The club also claimed to have received anonymous threats and firmly condemned any suggestion of wrongdoing, stating their full cooperation with the investigation process.

This case represents a significant moment for Liga MX Femenil, which had not previously faced a public match-fixing probe of this magnitude. It raises pressing questions about the oversight of betting-related activity in professional women’s football across Mexico.
