Mexican football clubs in international competitions
List of Mexican football clubs in international competitions
This is a list of Mexican football clubs in international competitions. Mexican clubs have participated in competitive international soccer competitions since at least 1963 for the first CONCACAF Champions' Cup.
Mexican teams have traditionally dominated the CONCACAF Champions League tournament, winning 38 of the 58 tournaments. Additionally, Mexican clubs have won 3 of the 4 North American SuperLigas. Mexican clubs have also participated in the CONMEBOL's Copa Sudamericana, where Pachuca won the title in 2006.
Since 1963, Mexican football clubs have won 38 CONCACAF Champions' Cup/Champions League titles, and finished runners-up 20 times.
For the CONCACAF Champions Cup, up to nine Mexican football clubs are eligible for entry into the competition.[1]
- Liga MX Apertura winners and runners-up
- Liga MX Clausura winners and runners-up
- Two highest-ranked clubs in Liga MX aggregate table that have not already qualified
- Leagues Cup champions, runners-up, and third place finishers
If one (or more) Liga MX club(s) were to qualify through multiple methods, then the next Liga MX club(s) with the most regular season points would qualify in the remaining slot(s). If the Leagues Cup champion were to win the Apertura or Clausura, then both the Apertura and Clausura champions would qualify to the round of 16; should the Leagues Cup slot(s) have already qualified, then Liga MX would be awarded with one additional slot to be given to the next best non-qualified team in the regular season standings.[2]
