Keylor Navas Defends Mexico's Decision to Scrap Promotion‑Relegation

The Mexican Football Federation has permanently abolished the Ascenso/Descenso system, a move that sparked debate among fans and officials. While many critics warned of reduced opportunities for lower‑division clubs, veteran goalkeeper Keylor Navas defended the decision, stating that removing promotion‑relegation will raise the overall quality of the league.

Navas highlighted that financial sustainability for clubs and a more stable environment for emerging talent are essential for long‑term growth. The policy is expected to shape the strategic planning of Liga MX teams in the coming seasons.
