The fallout from León’s expulsion from the Club كأس العالم over multi-ownership violations has reignited scrutiny on الدوري المكسيكي الممتاز‘s long-standing issue with shared club ownership. After Grupo Caliente sold Querétaro to U.S. investors earlier this month – ending their dual ownership with Club Tijuana – all eyes have now shifted to Grupo Orlegi, the owners of Santos Laguna و Atlas.n
According to multiple reports, Orlegi has begun the process to sell Atlas, the club they acquired in 2019 and led to a historic back-to-back league title run in 2021–2022. The group is reportedly asking $400 million for the Guadalajara-based side, although no formal bids have been confirmed yet.
With this move, Liga MX appears one step closer to resolving its multipropiedad issue, though two other ownership groups – TV Azteca (Puebla and Mazatlán) and Grupo Pachuca (Pachuca and León) – still hold multiple franchises.
In an official statement, Orlegi Sports explained that the decision aligns with a planned transition aimed at ensuring Atlas continues to grow under new ownership that fully understands the club’s cultural and sporting importance.
“Orlegi Sports has begun a process to explore a structured and planned transition in the operation of Atlas FC, with the goal of ensuring continued growth under a group that recognizes the club’s sporting, social, and cultural relevance,” the statement read.
To oversee the transition, Orlegi has hired Moelis u0026amp; Company, ADS, and Weil, Gotshal u0026amp; Manges LLP as financial and legal advisors.
