Carlos Vela Liga Mx Debut 2025

Mexico City, Mexico — After a lengthy career spanning various leagues, Carlos Vela is poised to make his long-awaited debut in Liga MX during the Apertura 2025 tournament. The 36-year-old forward, known for his time in Major League Soccer (MLS) with Los Angeles FC, will represent Pachuca, marking a significant moment in his professional career.

Vela’s potential debut comes after many years away from Mexican football. Having joined the Chivas de Guadalajara youth academy, he moved to Europe at a young age, where he played for various clubs including Arsenal and subsequently found success in the MLS. His arrival in Liga MX is anticipated not just as a debut, but as a farewell to his playing days.

The Pachuca club, under the Grupo Pachuca management, is keen on showcasing Vela’s talent and aims for him to play throughout the Apertura tournament, in addition to participating in the upcoming FIFA Club World Cup. This initiative represents Pachuca’s commitment to securing high-quality players and revitalizing their competitive edge.

Having completed 189 matches and scored 93 goals with LAFC, Vela’s achievements include winning two Conference Cups, an MLS Supporters' Shield, a U.S. Open Cup, and an MLS Cup. However, one notable absence on his accolades list is the Concachampions trophy, which he never captured during his tenure.

Vela’s current situation follows his exit from MLS, leaving him available for this new chapter of his career. He has not publicly revealed specific plans regarding his future, but his affiliation with Pachuca could symbolize his return to Mexican football, a place he hasn’t played since his youth.

“It’s a new opportunity for me to reconnect with my roots and the Mexican football community,” Vela stated in a recent interview. “I am excited to give my all to Pachuca and help the team achieve its goals.”

The excitement amongst fans and the football community continues to build as they await Vela’s official debut. His introduction to Liga MX not only promises thrilling encounters on the pitch but also serves to inspire a new generation of players in Mexican football.
