Mexico City – In a landmark move for both the club and the burgeoning Queens League Mexico, América Femenil has officially joined the seven-a-side football competition. The announcement, made on Saturday, March 14, 2026, marks the first time a professional football club will participate in the league, signaling a potential turning point for the format’s growth and visibility. This development comes as the Queens League continues to attract attention as an innovative and engaging alternative to traditional football.
The integration of Club América represents a significant step forward for Queens League Mexico, according to league officials. The league aims to expand beyond the established first division football landscape and tap into a modern audience with its unique rules and format. The league’s structure, featuring seven players per team and 40-minute matches divided into two 20-minute halves, is designed to be fast-paced and entertaining.
What is the Queens League?
The Queens League, and its counterpart the Kings League, offers a distinct football experience. Matches are played with seven players per side, lasting 40 minutes, and incorporate special rules determined by a dice roll, adding an element of unpredictability to each game. A key feature of the league is the role of the team president, who is often a well-known personality and even has the option to enter the field to capture a penalty kick during critical moments.
América Femenil’s Debut and Schedule
América Femenil will make its Queens League debut on Saturday, March 14, 2026, facing Las Aliens de TheCastro in the final match of the first jornada (matchday). The game is scheduled to begin at 7:00 PM local time (Mexico City), which is equivalent to 8:00 PM Eastern Time and 12:00 AM Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) on March 15th. Fans can watch the match and all other jornada 1 games through the official Kings League Américas channels on YouTube and Twitch. The match will take place at El Domo, located at Av. Insurgentes Sur 4303, Sta Úrsula Xitla, Tlalpan, 14420 Ciudad de México, CDMX.
The Roster and Leadership
The official Queens League Mexico website lists the 12 players comprising the inaugural América Femenil roster for this tournament. Notably, Dayana Cazares and Fernanda Piña, both former players for América Femenil’s first team, are included in the lineup. While the identity of the team president remains unconfirmed, reports suggest that Janelly Farías, a former footballer with ties to Club América, is expected to take on the role. Her experience and connection to the club could prove valuable in navigating the unique dynamics of the Queens League.
Claudia Carrión, Corporativa Director of América Femenil, emphasized the club’s commitment to innovation in the sports entertainment industry, stating, “We believe in the importance of participating actively in fresh and innovative formats in the industry of sports entertainment.” This sentiment underscores América Femenil’s strategic decision to enter the Queens League, viewing it as an opportunity to broaden its reach and engage with a new segment of fans.
What This Means for the Queens League
The inclusion of a professional club like América Femenil is expected to elevate the profile of the Queens League Mexico. It validates the league’s concept and could attract further investment and participation from other established teams. The league’s unique format, with its emphasis on entertainment and fan engagement, has already garnered a following, and América Femenil’s involvement is likely to accelerate that growth. For fans of women’s football, this provides another avenue to follow and support the sport, offering a different and potentially more accessible viewing experience.
The Queens League’s success hinges on its ability to maintain its innovative spirit while integrating the structure and professionalism of a club like América Femenil. Balancing these elements will be crucial as the league expands and seeks to establish itself as a significant force in the Mexican football landscape.
Following tonight’s debut against Las Aliens, América Femenil’s schedule and future matches will be announced by the league. Fans can stay updated on the team’s progress and the latest Queens League news through the official Kings League Américas channels on YouTube and Twitch.
