Yon De Luisa rules out resigning from the FMF after World Cup failure

The president of the Mexican Football Federation, A De Luisaassured this Thursday that he does not think of resigning, while the pressure increases after the failure for the elimination of the selection in the group stage of a World Cup for the first time since 1978.

The “Tri” beat Saudi Arabia 2-1 on Wednesday, but did not qualify for the round of 16 on goal difference in Group C where Argentina and Poland advanced.

To De Luisa and the director of the Mexican League, Mikel Arriolathey had been blamed for the poor results, even before the World Cup, for the decisions to eliminate promotion and relegation in the local tournament and the exaggerated number of foreign players who can participate.

“A resignation is not necessary, the owners (of the Mexican clubs) are going to make the decision, it is the end of a World Cup cycle,” De Luisa told reporters.

He was just one goal away from avoiding failure. Structural changes will be made, such as the number of foreigners, promotion and relegation,” he noted.

However, political pressure has grown, as Senator Bertha Caraveo demanded that De Luisa and Arriola be held accountable by calling the managers to appear before the Senate’s Youth and Sports Commission after the team’s poor performance in Qatar.

“We will host the 2026 World Cup, and there will be a huge logistical deployment and investment in its development, while the managers benefit while delivering bad results to the fans,” Caraveo wrote on Twitter.
