Tigres add former FC Dallas defender Marco Farfán for Apertura 2025, becomes club's fourth signing this window

Tigres made it official on Wednesday: Marco Farfán is their newest addition for the Apertura 2025. The 26-year-old left back arrives on a permanent transfer from FC Dallas, with the deal reportedly valued at around $3 million.

Farfán signed a four-year contract with the club and has already joined the squad in Los Angeles, where Tigres await their fate in the 2025 Leagues Cup.

Born in the U.S. and of Mexican heritage, Farfán played 121 matches for Dallas, contributing three goals and eight assists during his time there. He also had stints with LAFC and made his professional debut with Portland Timbers.

Internationally, Farfán has just one cap for the U.S. men’s national team - a friendly in 2020 - but his move to Tigres could put him back on the radar for Mauricio Pochettino’s squad, should his performances stand out in Liga MX.

Tigres are coming off a 2-1 loss to LAFC in the Leagues Cup, which leaves their spot in the quarterfinals still undecided. Regardless of their international fate, they’ll return to Liga MX action Friday, when they host Puebla at the Estadio Universitario in Matchday 4 of the Apertura.
