Stephany Mayor: 'The Clásico Regio Femenil is vital for the league'

Tigres forward Stephany Mayor has spoken about the significance of the upcoming Clásico Regio against Rayadas. For Mayor, this match represents far more than just three points, serving as a critical moment for the club, the state, and the entire Liga MX Femenil.

"It is very special for the institution and for the state. Since I arrived, I've felt that this week is lived differently. We have this double energy because we know we want to do our best to get the result. It is a game we have to win no matter what," the forward explained.

Mayor also highlighted the pivotal role both clubs have played in the development of women's football in Mexico. She believes that Tigres and Rayadas have set the standard, encouraging more institutions to invest in their women's programs.

Both institutions have been a turning point for other teams to join the women's project. Tigres and Rayadas have the most titles, so while rivalries with other teams grow over time, the Clásico Regio remains very important for the league. Stephany Mayor

Beyond the intense rivalry, the upcoming match has significant stakes in the race for the top of the table. Mayor acknowledged that a victory would provide a crucial boost for the team as they approach the final stretch of the tournament and the Liguilla playoffs.

"We are aware that this match could make a big difference in putting us in first place. It would be very good for us at this stage of the tournament to secure the lead before entering the Liguilla, and that is what we will try to do tomorrow," she concluded.
