Liga MX Femenil: How much does a professional soccer player earn on average in Mexico?

In international soccer, the players have advocated for salary increases that show equal conditions as the men’s categories and Mexico is no exception. In the case of the Women’s MX League, there are soccer players who receive a minimum salary, even counting the increase from the first tournament held in 2017.

In an interview on Jesús ‘Canelo’ Ángulo’s podcast, the athlete Alicia Cervantes – who has spent time at Atlas and Chivas – revealed that a few years ago salaries were 1,500 pesos, so together with her teammates she fought to that the number grew.

More than five years after that, a base salary of 4,500 pesos is maintained, according to the numbers that ESPN published in 2022, which would have an average of 10 thousand pesos per month. Although the amount tripled, it is still not comparable to professional football in the case of men.

However, there are exceptional cases in renowned teams such as América, Monterrey and Tigres, where some members of the squad receive more than 100,000 pesos as a payroll.
