Europe's dominance of the world stage in women's football may be under threat from a most unlikely quarter: Mexico. The country's Liga MX Femenil, which has been gaining momentum since its inception just over a decade ago, now boasts an impressive array of talent, with Le Sommer's arrival sending shockwaves through the European football community.
Speaking exclusively to this publication, Le Sommer revealed that she had long coveted the opportunity to compete in Mexico, citing the country's "very dynamic" league and high attendance figures as major draws. While Le Sommer is not alone in her Mexican adventure – French compatriot Amandine Henry also joined the league last summer – the French international insists that Toluca's current crop of players represent a "French revolution" within the club.
For those who may be unfamiliar, the Liga MX Femenil operates under a unique format, with 18 teams competing in two separate competitions: the Apertura and Clausura. This means that Le Sommer will be facing a grueling schedule of 34 games over the course of the year – more than twice the number of matches played by European league champions.
While some may view this as an exhausting prospect for players, Le Sommer enthusiastically adopted the Mexican rhythm, praising the opportunity to play three times a week during the season and even embracing the prospect of additional competition in the form of the Concacaf Champions League. This refreshing attitude is indicative of the growing professionalism and passion for women's football in Mexico.
For European fans, however, Le Sommer's arrival presents an uncomfortable reality: the talent pool on offer may soon rival that found across the continent. As one notable example, Jenni Hermoso – a player who initially caught Le Sommer's attention during her first foray into Mexican football – now finds herself competing against some of the world's best women's footballers.
In short, Europe may indeed be "afraid" of what is happening in Mexico. With top players flocking to the country and a league that shows no signs of slowing down, it seems clear that the global stage for women's football will be forever altered by the rise of Liga MX Femenil.

... Mexico is killing it in women's football right now and Le Sommer joining Toluca just proves they're not to be underestimated 
️. The fact that European teams have to play 34 games a year while the Mexicans only do 18 shows they can't handle the intensity 
. And let's be real, Mexico's got some serious talent like Jenni Hermoso now... it's time for Europe to step their game up 
.
mexico has been quietly building their womens football scene for years now & le sommer joining lulul toluca is just a sign that things are getting serious 
it's gonna be interesting to see how this all plays out 
! A new challenger appears on the block and it's lookin' fierce 
. 34 games in one year? That's dedication fam 
. And let's be real, if European teams are startin' to notice, that means the competition is gettin' fierce 
. Can't wait to see how this all plays out 
.
. And let's be real, who wouldn't want to join a league where you get to play three times a week? I mean, that's like having a vacation and a party all rolled into one... except it's just soccer 
. But seriously, this is huge for the sport - if top European players are jumping ship to Mexico, that means the talent pool is getting more competitive globally. Maybe Europe should be worried, or maybe we're just excited to see some new underdog teams rise to the top 
. Either way, it's all good news for women's football fans! 
I'm excited to see what the future holds for Liga MX Femenil and women's football as a whole. Maybe Europe will have to step up its game (pun intended) to keep up with the Mexicans! 
. It'll be interesting to see how Le Sommer and Hermoso do against all the other top teams. Maybe we'll get to see some new rivalries form 
It's not just about the talent though, it's also about the passion and professionalism that these Mexican players bring to the game. Jenni Hermoso is a great example of this - she was initially drawn to Mexico because of the opportunity to play more often, and now she's competing with some of the best in the world! 
That's what we call progress, right? The football world needs more excitement like this, especially for women's football. Can't wait to see how Le Sommer does in Mexico

And it's awesome that Le Sommer is embracing the challenge. It's like she's saying, "Hey Europe, bring it on!" 
The fact that the Liga MX Femenil is gaining momentum and rivaling European talent is super exciting 
And let's be real, 34 games in a year? That's like asking your partner to do laundry for you every other day 
But seriously, Mexico's women's football scene is on fire
