This is what Yon de Luisa said
“Possible financial support is being reviewed through loans with which the MX League and the Federation can support the clubs, but the money would not come from us but from a bank and we would be the channelers, what is a fact is that we are not going to mortgage the Mexican Soccer FederationThat is not within our possibilities, ”said De Luisa to Mediotiempo.

“The economic part will surely come after today’s meetings in Concacaf and from there we will already have an official part ”, commented De Luisa. “We have been working with them to understand the distribution mechanisms and the resources that come to us, and the general parameters are barely being known.”
In another section of the Plan, the FIFA It mentions that the Federations may request money to be later returned with interest. However, the agency mentions that the resources may be destined “to the community of football”Even at elite levels, but does not point to clubs as potential beneficiaries as such.
