The Mexican side hosts the Canadians as the group stage kicks off

The inaugural edition of the Concacaf W Champions Cup is underway, with Club América hosting Vancouver Whitecaps on Wednesday in the Mexican side’s first match of the competition.

América is one of three Liga MX Femenil sides in the tournament, while Vancouver is the lone Canadian team. The Whitecaps reached the group phase by defeating Alianza 1-0 in a play-in match in El Salvador last week.

Ten teams remain in the W Champions Cup, which is divided into two groups of five teams each. After a round-robin group stage, the top two teams in each group will advance to the semifinal round in May 2025.

Angel City vs. FC Juarez: How to watch friendly, live stream

It’s NWSL vs. Liga MX Femenil in Sunday’s match at BMO Stadium

Angel City FC will face Liga MX Femenil side FC Juárez in a friendly at BMO Stadium on Sunday night.

Angel City has been idle for nearly two weeks, having lost 1-0 to Gotham FC in the semifinal of the NWSL x Liga MX Femenil Summer Cup on August 6.

Now the NWSL side will have one final tune-up before it resumes league play against California rivals San Diego Wave on Saturday.

Angel City is in 11th place in the NWSL table, but just three points behind the eighth and final playoff spot.

Angel City welcomed back Christen Press during the Summer Cup, as the  forward made her first two appearances since tearing her ACL in June 2022.

Press may be ready to ramp up her minutes against Juárez, which didn’t participate in the Summer Cup. The club is currently in 11th place in the 18-team Liga MX standings, beginning the season with a record of 2W-0D-4L.

Here is everything you need to know ahead of the game.

San Diego Wave vs. Club America: How to watch Summer Cup, TV channel, live stream

The competition continues with a match between NWSL and Liga MX Femenil teams

The NWSL x Liga MX Femenil Summer Cup continues on Friday as the San Diego Wave hosts Club América in the first ever meeting between the teams.

The Wave kicked off the inaugural Summer Cup with a 3-1 win over Bay FC last weekend, while América fell 2-1 to Angel City.

With only the group winner having a shot at a semifinal place, the Liga MX Femenil side is in need of a result at Snapdragon Stadium.

[afflinkbutton text=”Watch the NWSL x Liga MX Femenil Summer Cup on Paramount Plus” link=”https://paramountplus.qflm.net/217Nxg”]

The Wave are missing Olympians like Naomi Girma, Jaedyn Shaw and Kailen Sheridan, but still can call on U.S. Olympic snub Alex Morgan and María Sánchez, who scored her first Wave goal last week against Bay FC.

For América, Mexico international forward Kiana Palacios has scored in back-to-back matches, including a goal against Angel City.

Here’s everything you need to know ahead of the match.

Chicago Red Stars vs. Chivas: How to watch Summer Cup, TV channel, live stream

Chicago starts life without key defender Sam Staab in a Summer Cup clash with Chivas

The NWSL x Liga MX Femenil Summer Cup continues with its second round of games, with the Chicago Red Stars and Chivas facing off on Friday outside the Windy City.

Both teams got off to a less-than-ideal start in this inaugural Summer Cup. Chicago picked up a creditable scoreless draw in regulation, but fell on penalties to NJ/NY Gotham FC.

Chivas, meanwhile, fell to a 2-1 loss to the Washington Spirit on Sunday in a match played outside of Philadelphia.

That means both clubs trail the Spirit (three points) and Gotham, who claimed two points thanks to the Summer Cup’s tie-breaking format. With only the group winner having a shot at a semifinal place, this clash at SeatGeek Stadium borders on a must-win.

[afflinkbutton text=”Watch the NWSL x Liga MX Femenil Summer Cup on Paramount Plus” link=”https://paramountplus.qflm.net/217Nxg”]

The Red Stars will face an additional challenge, as center back Sam Staab suffered a torn Achilles tendon against Gotham. That long-term puzzle will give head coach Lorne Donaldson plenty to consider, as Staab is arguably the least replaceable player on Chicago’s roster not named Mallory Swanson.

Chivas, meanwhile, will look to build on an encouraging final 25 minutes against Washington. While the Guadalajara-based side looked overmatched at times by a second-choice Spirit side, Licha Cervantes’ confident header gave the team something to build on heading into this match against Chicago.

Here’s everything you need to know ahead of the match.

Chicago Red Stars vs. Chivas (Summer Cup)

  • When: Friday, July 26
  • Where: SeatGeek Stadium (Bridgeview, Ill.)

The NWSL side hosts the Liga MX Femenil side at Providence Park

All 14 NWSL teams and six teams from Liga MX will take part in the Summer Cup, with every match aside from the championship taking place over the next two weeks.

The tournament will coincide with the 2024 Olympics, as the NWSL takes a break from its regular season with matches that are likely to see several fringe players get opportunities to shine.

[afflinkbutton text=”Watch the NWSL x Liga MX Femenil Summer Cup on Paramount Plus” link=”https://paramountplus.qflm.net/217Nxg”]

The Thorns entered the break in league play sitting fifth in the table, and will have to contend with the absences of Olympic players like Janine Beckie, Jessie Fleming, Sophia Smith and Sam Coffey.

The Seattle Reign and the Utah Royals are also in Group B alongside Portland and Tijuana, with Seattle opening the competition with a 2-1 win over Utah on Friday night.

Here’s everything you need to know ahead of the match.

Bay FC’s Camberos returns to Club America after leaving over safety concerns

The 23-year-old forward returns to Mexico after a season and a half in the NWSL

Bay FC forward Scarlett Camberos has re-joined Club América for an undisclosed transfer fee, the NWSL side announced on Monday.

Camberos departed América to join Angel City FC in March 2023, requesting a transfer after she expressed concerns over her safety. The Mexico international had been targeted by a man who threatened and harassed her, and also hacked into her social media accounts.

After spending the 2023 campaign with Angel City, Camberos was traded to Bay FC ahead of its expansion season. The forward has made 10 appearances, including eight starts, scoring one goal for the California side this season.

“We are grateful for Scarlett’s hard work and commitment to Bay FC and her role in helping us lay the foundation in our first season,” said Matt Potter, Bay FC head of football and interim sporting director.

“This scenario moved quickly between clubs and ultimately with Scarlett and her agent. We believe we’ve reached an agreement that supports her desires and growth as well as ours as a club as we continue to build our squad for the future. We wish Scarlett all the best as she continues her career and look forward to her return with her new club in the Summer Cup.”

Camberos, 23, was born in California and represents Mexico internationally. She started on Saturday as Mexico fell 1-0 to the U.S. women’s national team in a friendly.

Monterrey tops America in dramatic Liga MX Femenil final

After nearly losing the tie, Rayadas took home their third title in dramatic fashion

Club América was just seconds away from a Liga MX Femenil title on Monday night, but Monterrey sent the game to extra time with a late penalty and eventually won the title in a penalty shootout.

It was a dramatic ending to the season at Estadio BBVA in Monterrey, as América took the lead early in the final second leg.

Missouri native Sarah Luebbert gave América a 1-0 lead on the night within the first 10 minutes, sneaking a shot past Rayadas goalkeeper Pamela Tajonar.

Luebbert’s goal handed the visitors a 2-0 advantage on aggregate after they won 1-0 in the home leg on Friday night.

But Monterrey would strike back on 25 minutes as Jermaine Seoposenwe took the ball down well inside the box, turned and fired home to level the match 1-1.

The game would stay level until Monterrey was awarded a penalty kick in the game’s dying moments.

Rayadas captain Rebeca Bernal stepped up, knowing a conversion would send the tie into extra time and a miss would give América the title.

Bernal kept her nerve, scoring in dramatic fashion to keep the final alive.

In the penalty shootout, Tajonar made two saves to ensure Monterrey won its third Liga MX title.

After the game, Bernal spoke about her last-second penalty to level the tie.

“It wasn’t easy [taking the last minute penalty], I couldn’t live the last 15 minutes. In the end I think that the security that I transmit to the team is a firm step that I could take, I took my time and had great confidence,” Bernal said in quotes published on ESPN Mexico.

“I knew that they trusted me, that people trusted me, I took responsibility and today we are celebrating.”
