As we’re about halfway through the first full season of Liga MX Femenil allowing non-Mexican players (extranjeras) into the league, I thought it would be good to take a look at the numbers to see what kind of impact they were having. In Liga MX Femenil, each team can sign two extranjeros. For comparison in the National Women’s Soccer League (NWSL) in the United States, each of the ten teams is allowed four international roster spots per team for a total of 40 this season. Critically, NWSL teams can trade these slots for players, cash, or other assets, where Liga MX Femenil teams cannot.
