The disappearance of Ascenso MX gave way to the creation of the category that would serve as a springboard for young people.
Since its creation after the decision to disappear the Ascent MX amid the coronavirus pandemic, the Expansion League had as one of its objectives, to become a seedbed for young people in different institutions, including subsidiaries.
Pumas Tabasco and Tapatío were two clubs created as an additional category of Pumas de la UNAM and Chivas, where they would give an opportunity to minors, footballers who had been borrowed from other clubs, even some other players who did not belong to the institution in the past.
Celaya, Atlético Morelia, Cimarrones de Sonora, Mineros de Zacatecas, Tepatitlán, Atlante, Coyotes de Tlaxcala, Dorados de Sinaloa, Tampico Madero, Venados de Mérida, Alebrijes de Oaxaca, Cancún, Correcaminos de la UAT and Leones Negros de UdeG have taken advantage of the category to debut new Mexican talents as well as build a path for them to the First Division.
According to an investigation by Goal, until March 26 they had registered 168 debuts de juveniles, exceeding by more than triple the figure of the last soccer year of Ascenso MX where only 43 had been given.
Even in Tapatío there has been the opportunity for those who do not have activity in the maximum circuit with the Flock, to add minutes in the silver category, as has happened with men like Cristian Calderón, Fernando Beltrán and Ronaldo Cisneros.
Tlaxcala, Pumas and Tepatitlán have been the clubs that have given rise to the most debuts of footballers, where they even exceed the fifteen athletes, who see there the opportunity to start their professional career, on a springboard that can catapult to success, or to failure if the situation does not go as expected.
Perhaps the debuts that have attracted the most attention have been those of Fernando Sandoval and Román Íñiguez, who at 17 can claim to be professional footballers, both with Leones Negros de la UdeG. According to the report, the two players had their registration in the Third Division before being officially taken into account by Jorge Dávalos.
Roman Azahar Stuart with Tampico Madero, José David González and Luis Olivas with Tapatío, Jorge Salím Hernández with Leones Negros, Pavel Pérez with Tepatitlán and Gabriel Zanatta with Dorados de Sinaloa are just some players with potential who were already expected to have their first minutes and that in the present football year saw action.
Now we will only have to wait for the process so that those who make their debut in Expansión, can reach the Maximum Circuit in due time and continue with their career.
