Women's association football has long been a largely amateur sport in Mexico, given the greater emphasis of the male competitions.[1][2] However, rapid growth since 2021 has raised its profile enough to compete for sponsors and professional international talent not only within Mexico but also from Europe, Africa, and the United States.[3][4]
