Men’s Team: A Chance to Build Momentum

Interestingly, Philadelphia enters this match in a challenging period, having lost their first three MLS games against DC United, Recent York City, and San José.

The match will kick off at 5:00 PM Central Mexico Time and will be broadcast exclusively in Mexico on Fox One, and in the United States on TUDN USA.
América Femenil: Navigating a Rescheduled Match and League Competition
América Femenil’s match against Chivas was rescheduled from March 22nd due to unforeseen events in Jalisco. The Liga MX Femenil decided to move the game to this week, shortly after a FIFA Date, which could present challenges for the team.
The rescheduling was reportedly influenced by Chivas’ desire to ensure Scarlett Camberos serves her suspension against them. América Femenil comes into the match following a draw against Venezuela in a friendly and needs to secure three points to remain competitive in the league, where they currently trail Rayadas, who have 26 points compared to América’s 21 (with a game in hand).
The match will be played on Tuesday, March 10th, at 7:07 PM Central Mexico Time and can be watched on Tubi.
