InterLiga 2010 Field Set
Club America will highlight the annual January tournament.
Nov 17, 2009 10:27:10 AM
While top clubs such as Toluca, Chivas and Cruz Azul were ineligible to participate because of committments to other tournaments, InterLiga 2010 will feature some starpower nonetheless with Club America.
Joining America in the tournament are fellow Liguilla clubs Monterrey and Santos. America and Monterrey, in fact, will meet in the quarterfinals of the playoffs. Puebla has also qualified for InterLiga.
The rest of the Liguilla field, though, was ineligible. Toluca and Cruz Azul are in the CONCACAF Champions League while San Luis will participate in Copa Libertadores.
Also joining the quartet of playoff-bound clubs will be Atlante, who will be fresh off their participation in the FIFA Club World Cup, Tigres, Estudiantes and Jaguares.
Morelia would have reached InterLiga but the club reached Copa Libertadores directly for having finished third in the overall table. Toluca and Cruz Azul finished with more points and would have received automatic berths but each was not eligible to participate in Copa Libertadores.
The draw for InterLiga as well as the full calendar of games will be announced at a later date.
InterLiga will begin on Jan. 2. Two spots in Copa Libertadores are up for grabs in the tournament. The winners will make up Mexico 2 and Mexico 3 slots in the Copa Libertadores 2010 draw.
