Even though the league had the support of the Mexican Football Federation as well as the support of some Liga MX clubs such as Chivas,[3][4] the league struggled to attract sponsors, fans, and media attention since the beginning.[2] In 2016, the Liga MX Femenil was created with the full backing of all Liga MX clubs and the Mexican Football Federation to professionalized and grow women's football in Mexico.[2] Both leagues are not connected by the league system, but the Liga Mexicana de Fútbol Femenil has lost its top division status since the introduction of Liga MX Femenil.
